Lens Flare (and other Effects)
L
Lee Bratley
The 'Effects' tab (where I'd usually go to find lens flare effects) has lost a whole lot of effects in a recent update?
I can't find the selection of 'Lens Flare' options..... and I use those a lot.
I did find a way in Colour Director, but this is hugely clumsy and doesn't allow to fade the effect in if you've split the video track and just want to bring a flare in gently.
EDIT: After contacting Cyberlink - who said something about these effects being moved to "Streamline the project workflow" (?) , they advised that I should revert back to a previous version.
So I have.
2 updates back and the Lens Flare / Light Leak / Movie effect etc etc are all now available.
I'm not sure I'll do any new updates until these are back and simple to find.

You probably still have the video files for the effects in
"C:\Users\Public\CyberLink\Downloaded BlendEffects\"
All you have to do (as opposed to the nice user-friendly interface that CyberLink _USED_ to provide) is build your own library of flares and light leaks.
When applied in the previous version they had a 78% opacity and used "Screen" blending mode. Plus they could automatically get lengths adjusted. Another thing to have to set ourselves.
I wonder what the opposite of "user-friendly" is...

Nicholas Stanford I changed the whole computer. Is there a way to find those effects somewhere?
