Try the demo of Velvetmatter Glint?

2- Light rays is vaguely close.

3- You might be able to get something vaguely like VM Glint using linear light compositing...

a- Set your project to 32-bit, compositing mode 1.000

b- Duplicate your video clip onto upper layers twice.

c- Change the compositing mode on the tracks to:
- Add
- Add
- Source Alpha

d- On the two upper layers, add:
Linear Blur.
Color Curves. Do a s-shaped curve.

e- Because your overall brightness is now higher, you can add levels on video output FX to bring exposure down.

f- You might want to do all this in a nest. And render to a new track for better performance in your master nest. Instead of doing e, apply the Levels onto your render to new track render.

With the linear blur, have one of them go at a different angle. You can play around with the angles.
The amount should be non-zero.

e- If you're picky about detail, you'd also figure out how to get the pixel aspect ratios correct.

wow! thanks for the in-depth explanation

sounds a bit beyond my current ability's but i will try and work through and see how it goes

2- The attachments in my previous message show before/after.

Vegas will complain that the media is missing... I think you can point Vegas towards just anything (?). Otherwise you can probably point vegas towards any cineform 1080i intermediate clip. If not, just let me know and I'll change the .veg to work with a still image and you can download that.

thanks for your trouble
vegas says its an unsupported file format so im assuming your using vegas 8?
im on 7 :-(
but dont worry and thanks for the time you have taken, i will give it a try from your instructions

Glenn Chan December 12th, 2007 12:48 PM

Yes that veg was Vegas 8.

Vegas 7 doesn't support the 32-bit stuff. Ignore step a, and step e has to be tweaked.
