After Effects Flares Tutorials

To end the week I leave you with a few tutorials on the lens flares built into After Effects, as well as other third party tools.

If you want to find the first steps, you can go to “Adding a Lens Flare Effect” in the Adobe press section. Then, inside the help pages you will find “Apply tracking data to a new target” and “About alpha channels and mattes“.

Once these first concepts are understood, we can move on to the series of video tutorials from different creators. With them you will learn how to generate this type of effect using only AE or, on the contrary, with third-party plugins and presets.
