Description:
Optical Flares is a plug-in for After Effects that allows you to create realistic lens flares, blinding glare, emulate a spotlight, and much more.
Optical Flares allows you to change and adjust these effects with astonishing speed and ease.
It is a powerful and advanced analogue of the standard Lens Flare effect.
The package includes :
12 basic unique lens objects , on the basis of which you can create your own glare (lens flares), changing the saturation, size, light intensity and color gamut.
Over 60 built-in flare building presets
+
Pro Flares Bundle (Pro Presets 1 + Pro Presets 2)
50 All New Lens Flare Presets
Realistic Anamorphic Elements
Many based on real lenses
New features:
Added support for larger scaling when using the UI on 4K monitors.
MFR multi-frame rendering performance advantage:
Since AE can start rendering multiple frames on all your processor cores, plug-ins that depend on your CPU will become faster!
The new rendering pipeline is smarter than the previous method because it shares memory and dynamically allocates tasks for better performance.
Another major improvement is GPU focusing plug-ins like Optical Flares,
which already take advantage of your graphics card and will not hinder your CPU from handling heavy tasks such as keying and motion blur,
so your project will render faster!
The new version of After Effects features Multi-Frame Rendering, which allows AE to render multiple frames at the same time to speed up rendering!
We’re excited to announce that we’ve updated our plug-ins (including our free ones!) to be compatible with Multi-Frame Rendering!
We’ve added support for larger scaling when using the UI on 4K monitors!

In the folder “Pro presets 2”:
