Star filter effect

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone can suggest how I could do a "star filter" type effect using vegas? I've got a shot with a lot of candles and the atmosphere of the shot would be 100% better if I could add some star effect to the flames...

Cheers,
Jeff K

How about making three additional tracks with the candle event, stacked above each other and the original, set to "Add" mode. Apply the "Linear Blur" filter to overlay the tracks, with setings of 0, 120, and 240 degrees. You might also need to apply some adjustment curves to the overlay tracks, to limit their contribution to just the streaked light. These are some ideas to get you started, I haven't tried them myself <g>.

try playing with the lens-flare effect. You can tweek that pretty nicely.
