Here’s a fun project file that adds an anamorphic stripe and star around the standard AE lens flare. The layers are linked to the position of the Flare, so everything moves together. You can change the color from the “FLARE” solid effects control to create a golden sun or even a red sun. Have fun, just don’t look directly at it.

In other news, I feel much better and I won’t need the computer speech program after all.

Thank the stars! I wasn’t looking forward to an entire tutorial with that computer voice doing the VO
I too, applaud your convalescence!
Peace

Thanks Andrew for Being a great tutor in after effects, you’re the man, many thanks from New Zealand

Sweet! Thanks (again) a lot Andrew! Do you know the lensflars from “KNOLL LIGHT FACTORY”. Those are also very impressive!

I was always wondering how do that particular flare, thanks again AK 47
hi Dennis. this man knows everything. KNOLL LIGHT FACTORY? he knew it before he born. haha.
thanks Mr. Andrew God Bless your family.
This is totally what I need in my current project. I created something similar but it looks blah. I’ll just replace it with yours.
Yay, thanks
Sweet..
I’m looking forward to this year.
cool
Cool. glad you’re feeling better
Nice, I like the use of noise to give the subtle grain…and the mega use of fast blurs…Its the touches Andrew, the touches…
Cooool!
Thanke you a lot guy.
Nice job Andrew!
Hey, glad to hear you’re feeling better.
Have an orange smoothie everyday. I haven’t been sick yet. Of course, now that I said that, I can expect to be sick next week. I should just start taking the Nyquil shooters now.
please just make the intro of the tutorial with the computer speech that’s fun trust me xD
Hey andrew nice project just wat I need for my website for ist
Anyway I was hoping on hearing that computer speech program I would’ve laughed through the whole video, but it’s gud to no ur feeling better
looks expensive… but Mr. Kramer´s work always looks expensive…
thats why we love him
Greetings from Berlin

Lensflare revival
Glad you’re feeling better. A Steven Hawking type tutorial might make you sound way smarter than you already are though….. ( well.. probably not. Just a thought)
thanks, andrew.
get well soon, we all miss your jokes
Thanks for sharing master Andrew.
I know this is an “off-topic” but I would like to know your opinion about NUKE.
Take care.

Thank you very much. Now I don’t have to spend $300 for The Knoll light Factory just to get that John Carpenter’s “CHRISTINE” flare going! I do promise to spend it on your site, though!
thanks Andrew
like it )
thanks from Latvia
Glad to hear you’re feeling better!Neat lens flare, but I still want to know how you make the one seen on all the products.
Thank you Andrew! You’re the best!
Andrew, I’m not sure if you watch Fringe or not (I imagine you do, even if it’s just to see your intro
) but have you noticed the hardcore over-use of lens flares lately? They even appear when there isn’t even anything that bright on the screen. Sometimes it’s a lens-flare overload, and I can’t help but wonder if they are used to emphasize when something paranormal is about to happen. They don’t look like AE lens flares though. Seems to me like they shoot actual lens flares against a black BG and screen them onto the footage.
What do you think?
Thank you. Was looking for something like this for my titles.
Way to go once again andrew, you need your own cable show my friend. Your work is off the chain your products are of the chain. You just simply are “THE MAN”
Thanks Andrew!
Wish you a speedy recovery!
good news….cause i hate the speech programs…thanks for another stunning template. I still have lots of fun with that fire template you gave last month…they should integrate well…your next project could actually be a collection of templates: Templates Copilot.
I wonder why i got many errors while opening this file. Is there a problem with german version?
<3
Thrilled to hear that you’re feeling better man. Being sick is wack. Keep up the incredible work.
Just change the language to english, then you will have no problems.
Hey, nice project. love your stuff, keep it up:D
Hi, im using a computer without AE on it, could someone please render and upload this to YouTube i’d really love to see what it looks like.
Andrew, a breakdown of what certain layers do might be helpful.
To me, it looks as if the fractal noise layer is simulating an imperfect lens. Is that the case?
Man, I’m used your toutos in my projects and now, i’m full of job, i’m working 16 hours every day, i don’t see to my family but thank you for all
im glad you are better!!!!!
Hey “Vick1138″
I loved your joke on AK 47
:):) very funny.
& thank you Andrew for the PF.
glad your feeling better champ .
There may be errors in other languages but you can fix by pick-whipping the lens flare center manually.
Thnx for the Flare….I also would like to get your take on NUKE.
Very cool… it looks just like the sun with a light yellow color on the flare….Wonderful!!!! Thanks Andrew. Great to hear you are getting better, and that you won’t have to use the text-to-speech program. Your humor probably wouldn’t come across the same way if you had to use that thing….;)………although, you text-to-speech demo with the super-fast talking voice cracked me up…very funny.
There are errors in other languages, I what did to fix the problem:
Pcik-whip everything to a Null and move the null.
schweeeeeeeeeet!
Sadness.. I guess the AE 7 users are gonna get left behind.
You rock, I’ve been trying to do a flare like this for a while now. Major thanks.
Curse you Andrew; as much as I love your work it seems that you always release something a mere few days after I work on a project that could have seriously utilized it. I just worked on a music video where all I did was add lens flares but this is exactly what the director was looking for. Oh well, I’m probably going to utilize it in a future video. As always, thank you for being so cool.
is this gonna work with CS4??
thanks Andrew!! you’re the best.

You just put Michael Bay out of business Andrew!
Wicked! Glad you’re feeling better, but I AM disappointed we won’t be getting a computer-generated AK in the next tutorial.
I am the Stig!
nice effect… pity it doesn’t work with the french version, even by pick-whipping the lens flare center manually
perfect lighting tecnique & color. thank you sir (:
hola Andrew
Don´t speak inglish
estos poyectos se pueden usa en afte effects cs4
muchas gracias
Thanks for the Nice Project!
Glad your alright Andrew!
I rebuilt this with the Knoll Lens flares, so i could use their obscuration layer feature, but I could work out an Expression to make the new ’stripe’ layers opacity change or switch on/off along with the Knoll Lens Flare as it was obscured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Andrew Andrew Andrew…
ive never commented any of your entries before but this just jumped out at me.
Having been obssesed with Michael Bays awesomeness lens flares forever i would make my own using fractal noise and tweaking that to make stripes then adding glow…
Damn was I excited to see this!
Thanks Alot Andrew!
thank u four video copilot

I want to use three or four of these how is this possible. They all just seem to Stay on the One Lens Flare.
