How do they do this?

How do they create this look like a piece of film flashing on the sides around transitions? I see this effect more and more and have tried to duplicate it using some filters I created in Gimp though I am becoming convinced it’s some sort of plug in as they all look the same. Here is a example...

They are "burns."

See example: http://www.artbeats.com/clips/FC127/NTSC

You use one of the compositing modes on it in Vegas.

$199 a clip seem a bit much...anyone have luck doing it another way?

You could create your own. One way is if you have something like BluffTitler. I've been playing around with the BurningDot.bt show that was demoing when I started up the app. Modifying that "show" yields some good sequences. In Vegas I applied a blur effect to the "burn" effect to smooth out the edges. I get different effects by changing the compositing mode and opacity slider.

You might find some burn effects on YouTube or Vimeo.

From viewing that first clip ... this effect is a digital simulation of a light leak in a movie film camera. Either while filming or while handling outside of the camera.

Just to add a follow up. I did find a download and after watching it I thought I could probably do it myself. I went full telephoto out of focus and ended up with some really good clips that would work great. Thanks again for your suggestions...everyone on the site ROCKS...

You have media gen which you can composite add you also have the ability to create motion in pan and crop window as well

Use the noise gen for example marble and select your color and animate to suite
