Optical Flares is a must have plug in for the AE user.

Sometimes people do things at the exact right time. Like Magic Johnson taking a last second shot to win the title over the Celtics. Other times a person may have such a vibe for their marketplace they create a product that feeds a growing demand. Like Steve Jobs and the iPhone.
In this case its a combination of the two. Not only was it the right time but after seeing commercials, movies, and other media having amazing light flare effects, many clients and producers wanted that for their own media.
For years After Effects users have had a great tool, Knoll Light Factory, to use. It provided great flares and did the job we wanted. But... as great as it was there was much room to improve it. The bad news was it never improved in my opinion. Read More→

For those first time filmmakers who are new to post production, make sure you learn or hire someone who knows color correction? Why? Color correction can make or break a films success. While not as vital as sound, in my opinion, having the right color helps to really tell your story as well.
Think of some of the "Hollywood" movies you have seen this year. I guarantee they all have been color corrected. Michael Bay's Transformers would not be the same if they just released the film in its original state. Read More→
