This plug-in can enhance your title by simulating the effects of light rays refracting in a
camera lens. Experiment with different lens options and colors to get the effect that
matches the spirit of your title. Learn how to make an object fly off into a burst of lens
flares in this tutorial. (Settings: 30 frames, 15 fps)
1 Insert an object into the project. On the
Standard Toolbar, click the Move Object
Button, then add a key frame to frame 30
of the animation.
2 At frame 1 on the Location Toolbar, enter
-800 for the Z value. At frame 30, enter
500 for the Z value.
3 In the EasyPalette file directory, select
Lighting Effects: Lens Flare. Click the
F/X button on the Attribute Toolbar. Lens
Flare appears on the Properties menu.
4 On the Timeline Control, add key frames
to frames 10, 20, and 30. Then, drag the
start of the red Control Line so that the
line covers only frames 10 through 30.
This makes the plug-in take effect only in
these frames.
5 At frame 10 on the Attribute Toolbar, set
the Size to 5 and the Brightness to 100.
6 Scroll down to the next level of attributes,
and set the Light Position coordinates to
0.
7 On the last level of coordinates, set the
Distance to 0 and Extra Strength to
220.
8 At frame 20, set the Size to 100 and
Extra Strength to 300.
9 At frame 30 of the animation, set the Size
to 75. Enter 20 for Light Position X and
Y, set the Distance to 30, and Extra
Strength to 150.
