Lens Flare Position?

mjbcable wrote on 11/8/2008, 4:28 AM

I'm new to the sony movie studio platinum. I saw a neat effect where the lens flare occured at the bottom. I know how to use the lens flare filter, however, is it possible to have the lens flare position near the bottom or the top or where ever I want it to begin. I want the center of the lens flare to be movable if possible. Is there a way around this, if so how?

Yes, the lens flare effect has an adjustable psition. Just grab the square in the field and move it. It can be keyframed to move also.

Actually what I was talking about is moving the little cross hair thats located in the center that doesn't seem to move. I know how to move it around the center (grabbing the little ball and moving it around). I want the center of the lens flare to be moveable. Is that possible?

Try this:
Insert either an empty event, or a completely blank PNG image.
Add a lens-flare to it, then use Pan/Crop to change the position of the empty-event with the lens-flare relative to the video.

I think that'll do it.
