How to Use Knoll Light Factory 3.0

To use Knoll Light Factory 3.0, you need to apply it as an effect to your layer in your host application. For example, in After Effects, you can go to Effect > Red Giant > Knoll Light Factory.

Some of the parameters that you can adjust in Knoll Light Factory 3.0 are:

Light Source: This determines where the flare originates from. You can use the center of the layer, a point on the layer, a track point or a mask path as your light source.

Obscuration Layer: This determines what layer blocks or obscures the flare. You can use any layer in your composition as an obscuration layer.

Edge Behavior: This determines how the flare behaves when it reaches the edge of the layer. You can choose to have it fade out, wrap around or clip at the edge.

Elements: These are the individual components that make up the flare, such as glow, streaks, rings, spikes and more. You can add, remove or edit any element as you wish.

Color: This determines the color of each element in the flare. You can use a single color, a gradient or a sampled color from your layer.

Brightness: This determines how bright each element in the flare is. You can use a fixed value or a value based on your layer's luminance.

Scale: This determines how big each element in the flare is. You can use a fixed value or a value based on your layer's scale.

Position: This determines where each element in the flare is located relative to the light source. You can use a fixed value or a value based on your layer's position.

By playing with these parameters, you can create endless variations of lens flares for your projects.
