Plugins Used: Magic Bullet Looks, Knoll Light Factory, Trapcode Starglow, Trapcode Shine.

Knoll Light Factory adds some welcome pizzazz to the chrome-accented text, generated using the Zaxworks Invigorator tools. A sparkly ball of light draws your eyes to the text, while a more standard lens flare provides visual interest near the end.

In this Knoll Light Factory showcase, animated beams of light extend from a lighthouse at night, causing extensive lens flare when they hit the camera’s point of view. The addition of the Light Factory plug-in adds a convincing bright light source.

This shot uses Red Giant PlaneSpace to create the octagonal passage, and Knoll Light Factory Pro for the flash of light. 

This title treatment, inspired by Sex in the City the Movie, uses a lot of our products. Trapcode Form generates the lights on the text, while Trapcode Particular makes the glints from the lights. Red Giant Warp creates the reflection, and Knoll Light Factory Pro creates the camera flashes.

Knoll Light Factory adds visual interest to this straightforward text animation. by adding sparkle to the background and the flare that outlines the “N” in the center of the title.
