Features

Direct the look and feel of your glow by adjusting color, vibrance, size, dimensions, and the handling of the alpha channel with Optical Glow.

Optical Glow has gamma management built-in, so your glow always looks realistic, whether your footage is video, log, or even linear.

A Vibrance control helps keep your glow colorful and punchy. There’s an overall Colorize control, as well as organic Inner and Outer Tint controls.

The Highlight Only control lets you choose the brightness threshold for what gets used by Optical Glow.

Optical Glow’s built in Highlight Rolloff control makes it easy to tame the bright center of your glow.

Multiple Alpha Channel options give you control over how your glow is composited with other layers, or let Optical Glow handle it for natural results.

Add light rays to your glow using the Radiate feature. You can also control the size and center point of the rays.

Separately scale the RGB channels of the glow creating a more organic effect.

Optical Glow allows to separately control the scale of the glow effect on both the X- and Y-axis.

We made this to support high end workflows. Optical Glow works in 32-bit float, and respects and creates HDR highlights.

Optical Glow is fully GPU accelerated, and blazing fast at any of its four quality settings.

Whether you're in After Effects or Premiere Pro, Optical Glow looks great on text.
