Included features
"Lens Flare" effect
With the "Lens Flare"-effect you can create animated aperture spots and thus give your photos an additional dimension. No matter where the light source is located on your photo motif: with the possibility to place the Lens Flare freely and additionally animate your photo or video with camera pans and zoom, you achieve a realistic effect. Simply drag the "Lens Flare" effect onto an image and in the effect settings select
- from five different lens styles
- the magnification level
- the reflection origin via X/Y coordinates
In the Layout designer, you can also adjust the movement path of the flare and its duration individually to your motif.
Bokeh blur effect
The Bokeh blur effect creates atmospheric images with depth of field. This blur works like the depth of field in a good lens. Lights become circular and therefore look very realistic. With freely placeable masks, the strength of the blur can be adjusted as required. This allows certain areas of the image to be excluded from or highlighted by this effect. Depending on the image motif, you can use this Live effect to create a miniature effect ("Tilt-Shift") - entirely without an image editing software.
Adjust the effect to your wishes
- Change radius and strength of the bokeh
- Animate masks with a motion path
- Combine or invert masks
