Create High Quality LIGHT LEAKS in Premiere Pro (No Plugins)

[@sm0g-810]

I love this tutorial. A lot of light leaks tutorials just use presets and that's ok. But if you are serious about editing it is better learning how to make your own custom effects.

[@ThePremierePro]

Thanks - agree 100%!

[@HStich]

Thank you for the good idea. I was able to close some knowledge gaps thx to y (I am one of those who know they don't know everything...;-) you know your stuff. BUT for those filmmakers on youtube: lightlleaks are stylish, but you should be aware, that light leaks occur naturally, whenever you turn a camera focus axis into the sunlight. So there is camera movement involved.

[@metaphorr3313]

Thank you for the great tutorial but i have one small problem when using 2 light leaks with 2 different color. When two color meet each other, they combine their color. For example, red and blue -> purple. Is there a way i can separate the color where they match? Thanks again for the tutorial

[@ThePremierePro]

Thanks! You can use the track matte effect to stop colors from overlapping.

[@kanpurfilmacademy]

When I tried to make it with premeire pro 2020 and selected grain size 10 it shows very small grain and does not work at all

[@HlimpuiaR]

Mine doesn't work. After drag this sequence in to my main sequence, its shows small grain not a huge grain. Its look like CRTV loss signal🤣

[@ThePremierePro]

Try downloading my project file, that might help.

[@chetanmotiwaras]

Hey thanks for this video . it's helpful. I have one small question while change are timeline base 48*27 then how come its became 16:9. could you lease explain. Thank you

[@ThePremierePro]

Right-click the smaller sequence and choose Scale to Frame Size. 48x27 has the same aspect ratio as 1920x1080 (16:9) so it will fill the frame perfectly.

[@chetanmotiwaras]

@@ThePremierePro Thank you so much for your prompt rep.Appriciated

[@Back2-r5e]

Great Tutorial. Does this effect work with CC 2017 version?

[@ThePremierePro]

Yes, it will.

[@Back2-r5e]

Thanks

[@xtendedlifeentertainment6556]

The light leaks are not showing on the video after I export. What could be the problem and yet they show up in the project when I preview.

[@ThePremierePro]

That's odd - try checking/unchecking Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality in your export settings to see if that makes a difference.

[@rezadanesha3956]

Are you have a team for your edits work? If yes, how can I be part of it? Please 🥺

[@emilynalexandrabolivarlimo794]

Hi Paul! First of all thank you for your tutorials. They are straight to the point and help me to solve many doubts. I followed this tutorial and I have a problem. I need to export these lights as alpha to be used as a template, but when exporting it creates some black spots around the lights. In the file the spots are there too, but when I put a video underneath, they don't appear. However, when I export them as alpha, they are visible even if I put a video underneath. I'm relatively new to Premiere, any idea what I'm doing wrong? thank you very much!!!!!

[@emilynalexandrabolivarlimo794]

by the way, I used luma key to get rid of some of the black, but I still have some black shadows when I export like alpha :(

[@ThePremierePro]

@@emilynalexandrabolivarlimo794 Thanks Emilyn - good question! If you want to export the light leaks to re-use them, export them without alpha - setting your Blend Mode to Screen will ignore any black in the video.

[@emilynalexandrabolivarlimo794]

[@flowtonow]

Hi Paul - could I please kindly ask your opinion. I was following this tutorial the other day, super happy that all was going well, until 4:20. When I bring the lightleaks sequence to my initial one and scale it to the size, I can only see a black screen, even though I did see my to-be light leaks aka the huge blurred grains when only working on that separate sequence. Do you please have any ideas why that could be? Thanks in advance for any thoughts - and for a great tutorial, everything was amazing until I reached that point. :D Barbora.

[@ThePremierePro]

Thanks Barbora. Is the black screen actually black, or is it transparent? You can check by clicking the wrench in the Program Monitor and choosing Transparency Grid.

[@flowtonow]

@@ThePremierePro Thank you! I actually found out that such tool is completely missing in my wrench, updated to the newest version of Premiere, and all works fine now. Great tutorial, looking forward to more content like this! :)
