Why we like it

Earns a spot in the toolfarm library by gathering beam angle, intensity, color, and blur direction in one place, with a separate Glow Effect Fast option for quicker renders.

What is AEJuice Glowy Effect?

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does AEJuice Glowy Effect work in Premiere Pro?

AEJuice Glowy Effect works in Adobe Premiere Pro from CC 2021 or higher, alongside After Effects, where it needs CC 2015 or higher. Its controls cover beam angle, light intensity, color, and more from one place, and a mask lets you isolate the glow to individual objects in the frame. For masked work the Lighten blending mode is used, while the Screen mode applies across the entire frame. Confirm your Premiere Pro version meets the CC 2021 minimum before installing, and check the developer's page for full details.

Older releases CS6, CC, and CC 2014 have limited support: those projects are provided as-is without the plugin, some effects, expressions, or animations may not work due to missing newer features, and they are not tested or supported. CS3, CS4, CS5, and CS5.5 are not supported. If you rely on an older version, check compatibility carefully before installing.

AEJuice Glowy Effect runs on Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.14 or higher. On top of the operating system, it needs Adobe After Effects CC 2015 or higher, or Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 or higher.
