How to Use Our Free Lens Flare Effects in DaVinci Resolve
Find theFree Lens FX Sample pack on the CinePacks website. This is a free pack, so all you have to do is provide us with your email address so we can send you the download link. Once you receive the link in your inbox, download and unzip the folder of free video effects. This sample pack includes twelve free lens flare effects and a PNG overlay (as well as a 15% off coupon if you’d like to purchase our full pack of lens flares).
Drag the lens flare overlay you’d like to use directly into your timeline above your footage. Under Composite, change the Composite Mode of the lens flare to Overlay or Screen (we prefer Screen). Use Ctrl + T if you’d like to add a crossfade so the effect fades in and makes it less abrupt.
Another cool part of this free lens flare pack is the PNG included in the Anamorphic Lens folder. It adds the cinematic black bars when you drag it on top of your footage, which effortlessly gives your project a professional look.
You can easily change the color of these lens flares by selecting your video effect, navigating to the Color tab at the bottom, and adjusting the Hue as desired.
The Anamorphic Lens Flare effect can be used in a variety of ways. Drag it into your timeline and change the Scaling to Fill (under Retime and Scaling on the right hand side) so that it fits the screen. Use the Transform tool to reposition more as needed and change the Composite mode to Screen.
To create a stylish title screen in DaVinci Resolve using these video effects, drag one of the lens flares into your timeline. Navigate to Text in your Effects Library and drag the text into your timeline above the lens flare. Change the Composite Mode of your text to Overlay.
Add a fade in transition by using Ctrl + T, then trim down your text clip and hold down Alt to duplicate it. Change the Composite Mode of the duplicated clip to Normal.
