 Red Giant Knoll Light Factory Pro
The famous lens flare tool from Academy Award winner John Knoll
Created by John Knoll, Photoshop co-creator and Star Wars effects guru, Knoll Light Factory is one of the industry's most popular motion graphics tools. It is most famous for its high-fidelity simulations of light effects called flares, which simulate reflections from a very bright light source as seen through a camera's lens. Knoll Light Factory is Hollywood's go-to tool for adding interest to text or logos or extra pop to FX explosions.
$349.95
Customizable Presets
Choose from 70 presets or customize them to suit your needs.
Lens Editor
Use the custom lens editor to create and save your own unique effects for future use.
Custom Light Effects
19 lens elements in the main plug-in create custom light effects. Each element is also included as a separate plug-in for creating complex motion graphics.
Automatic Tracking
The auto track feature tracks multiple points and adds multiple identical lighting points to a scene.
GPU Support
Offers up to 10x render speed improvements, compared to a single CPU
Auto Obscuration
Automatically hides or reveals a light effect as the light source moves behind another object, automatically adjusting the light's brightness as it is obscured.
Light Factory EZ Plug-in
Included with the package, Light Factory EZ gives you access to all 70 flares with a single click.
Alpha Generation
Generate integrated alpha channels automatically with Knoll Unmult. |
Knoll Light Factory Pro runs in a variety of host applications. Each purchase and serial number allows the owner to use the product on more than one host application, but only on a single computer at any one time. Except where noted, the features are the same in all systems and host applications.

 Custom Lens Editor
Build your own flares or edit a preset with the custom lens editor. Choose from elements such as StarFilter, Ellipse, or PhotonSpikeBall, and control each element's position, color, scale, thickness, angle, and width. You also get pinpoint control over brightness, scale and color of the lens as a whole.
 70 powerful presets
Use the same presets that the pros turn to every day for sports events and major motion pictures. Presets include Desert Sun, Arc Welder, Generic Panavision, Spikey Glow, Pv1 (for exploding stars), RedLaser, RockConcert, Omnimax (a flare seen on IMAX projection), or Distant Quantum (the original photon torpedo).
 Auto-obscuration tools
Flares can be obscured by objects (cars, enemy spacecraft) that come between them and the viewer. The auto-track feature tracks specific points in an existing alpha channel, making flare location a snap. The integrated Knoll Unmult tool generates alphas, making it easier to include lights and flares in complex composites.

 NEW! Red Giant Radium Glow
Add sophisticated glimmer to your projects, quickly and easily
Unlike most glow filters that just blur your source video, Radium Glow
gives you pinpoint control over the glow, with editable shapes that can
generate precise outlines or create glimmering points. Includes
advanced edge controls, built-in masking, and output controls that
mimic real light behavior. Choose one of three separate glow plug-ins
to add nice neon-shaped glows to text, or combine Radium Glow with
Trapcode Particular or other plug-ins to create dazzling highlight
effects.
$99.95
Multi-core Acceleration
Radium Glow maximizes speed through multi-core optimized code. Take advantage of 2, 4, 6, 8 or more processor cores to generate effects in seconds
Unique Glows
Glow generates unique effects that are impossible to create in host applications
Multi-host Support
Supports multiple host applications, including After Effects CS3, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and AVID systems
Realistic Output
Realistically simulates light interaction with support for a wide variety of compositing modes
Maximum Quality
Internal floating-point support means the best possible quality in Final Cut Pro, After Effects, and Motion; as well as 16-bit output in AVID systems and Premiere Pro
Overbright Protection
Glow handles superbright values with built-in overbright protection, which creates natural results for superbright glows |
Radium Glow runs in a variety of host applications. Each purchase and serial number allows the owner to use the product on more than one host application, but only on a single computer at any one time. Except where noted, the features are the same in all systems and host applications.

 Intelligent area selection
Radium’s intelligent area selection system makes the image glow where the source is the brightest. Bright parts of the subject glow larger, much like the result of widening a real camera’s iris. This yields natural-looking halos and sparkle that cannot be replicated with other glow effects.
 Three separate plug-ins
Radium Glow offers 3 different glow plug-ins. Glow offers advanced masking and intensity controls, Glow Lite has simple controls to apply a glow quickly, and Glow Edge applies glows only around the edges of objects. Four quality levels and full 32-bit floating-point rendering let you find the right tradeoff between speed and detail.
 Shape library
Unlike other glow plug-ins, Radium Glow uses shapes to generate a glow. Simple circles and star shapes are included, along with a library of 10 other shapes to enable sophisticated glow effects. Glow can even use any source image as a shape, giving you powerful creative control.

 NEW! Red Giant Image Lounge
Add instant style to your footage
Image Lounge contains a set of over 20 After Effects filters to give
greater impact to your images. Replicate natural elements like fire,
smoke, and water. Add realistic touches using shadows, displacement,
color mapping, or use accurate camera blur and focus effects to
replicate out-of-focus images shot with a film camera.
$299.95
Border Patrol Filter
Adds style and dynamic movement to static elements. Synthesize outline, edge, or inline shapes on the border of your images.

Draws rectangles, complete with border and color controls, in seconds.
Get Grungy
Give your text some funk with the Grunge filter. Apply noise patterns to the edges of your image or text for an acid-etched or sandblasted look.
Text Typewriter Filter
Animate tracking, leading, size, and width with multiple lines of text. Then create signature "type-on" effects as though your text was being typed on a computer monitor or old-fashioned CRT display.
Hall of Mirrors Filter
Place your images between a corridor of mirrors for a cascading falloff look. Twist the successive reflections to get dramatic animation of an image trailing off into the distance. |
Image Lounge only supports Adobe After Effects.

 Versatile distortion effects
Use the Real Shadows filter to add realistic 3D shadows to your elements or text, or use Ultra Displacer to simulate the characteristic distortions of water, hot air, steam, or interference.
 Powerful fractal tools
Generate solar flares, napalm explosions, or smoky flames with Fractal Fire, or choose Brimstone for ultra-photorealistic walls of fire or flaming background images. The powerful and unique fractal generators let you create clouds of all kinds with the Fractal Clouds filter, or choose Fractal Tunnel for a mesmerizing "Dr. Who" effect.
 TrueCamera filters go beyond After Effects' built-in effects
Replicate the bokeh present in out-of-focus areas of a shot with TrueCamera Blur. Use TrueCamera Rack Focus and a depth map to simulate the rack focus effect used in many movies to shift the viewer's attention from a foreground to a background subject.
