AEJuice Lens Flares sits in the toolfarm library as a set of practically shot flare footage rather than a rendered effect. Delivered on black backgrounds with an alpha channel, the animations are built to drop into your own shots, and the Standalone Pack Manager makes them usable beyond a single host.
AEJuice Lens Flares is a collection of 100 practically shot lens flare animations for After Effects and Premiere Pro. The assets are supplied as MOV ProRes 422 files at 4K resolution (3840×2160) in horizontal orientation, running at 23.98 fps. Each clip ships on a black background and carries an alpha channel, so the flares can be blended into your own footage.
On compatibility, the pack covers After Effects CC 2015 through CC 2024 or higher, with CS6, CC 12, and CC 2014 supported as an After Effects project without the plugin, provided as is. Premiere Pro CC 2022 or higher is supported, and other video editors can use the animations as pre-rendered videos with a transparent or black background. It runs on Windows 10 or higher and Mac OS X 10.14 or higher, including Apple M1 and M2 machines.
The pack is handled through the Standalone Pack Manager, which works independently of any video editor. Its interface is available in nine languages, including English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, German, Italian, French, Russian, and Chinese (Traditional). No sound effects are included and no third-party plugins are required.
AEJuice Lens Flares is best for editors and motion designers adding practically shot lens flare animations to footage in After Effects, Premiere Pro, or other video editors.
AEJuice Lens Flares is completely free to download and use.
AEJuice Lens Flares supports After Effects CC 2015 through CC 2024 or higher. For older releases, CS6, CC 12, and CC 2014 are supported in the form of an After Effects project without the plugin, provided as is. If you're on one of those earlier versions, you work with the assets through that project file rather than the plugin. On supported systems the pack is handled through the Standalone Pack Manager, which works independently of any video editor.
AEJuice Lens Flares works with Premiere Pro CC 2022 or higher. The animations ship as MOV ProRes 422 files at 4K resolution with an alpha channel, and the black-background versions make blending into footage straightforward. The pack is managed through the Standalone Pack Manager, which operates independently of any video editor. If your Premiere Pro version predates CC 2022, check the developer's page for the options available to you.
AEJuice Lens Flares can be used in video editors beyond After Effects and Premiere Pro. For those applications, the assets are provided as pre-rendered videos with a transparent or black background, so you can place the 100 lens flare animations into other editing software without the plugin. The files are supplied as MOV ProRes 422 at 3840×2160, meaning you're working with 4K footage regardless of the host. For specifics on your particular editor, the developer's page is the place to look.
