Lens Flare After Effects
Just select the flare and the control layer, and press create. Quick Lens Flare can also have a foreground occlusion active as you are moving the control null. Quick Lens Flare can be found on aescripts.com under the “name your own price” structure, and is compatible with After Effects CS5 and up. Check out the Quick Lens Flare Tool here. Optical Flares is a plug-in for designing and animating realistic lens flares in After Effects. The Pro Presets is a collection of 50 detailed high-end flares set up with shimmer animation, edge flare-ups and more. This produces a black and white image of the lights that you can use in after effects. I use a plug in called trapcode that is excellent for lens effects/glows. Just apply it to the light pass layer and it will automatically make various types of glows / flares for you.
