AEJuice Glowy Effect adds a glow inside Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. Beam angle, light intensity, color, and more sit together in one place, and a mask lets you isolate the glow to individual objects in the frame rather than the whole shot.
Blur direction is customizable to shape the result. For masked work, the Lighten blending mode is used, while the Screen mode applies the glow across the entire frame. A separate option, Glow Effect Fast, is available when you want a faster render.
The effect supports After Effects from CC 2015 onward, including CC 2015.1 through CC 2022, and Premiere Pro from CC 2021 or higher. It runs on Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.14 or higher. Older After Effects releases such as CS6, CC, and CC 2014 have limited, as-is support, and CS3 through CS5.5 are not supported.
