Description

This set of plug-in modules for After Effects allows for various types of lighting effects which are indispensable to any video artist. In one bundle several types of powerful instruments are collected in order to create all sorts of incredible video effects, such as flashes, rays, stars, specks, glow, rainbow, lens flare etc. Each module in the AlphaStar set is a powerful tool in itself that covers the entire sphere of producing special effects and permits great variety of methods of application.

Features

• Creates a beautiful single flashes, stars, flare and etc. and emulates physical phenomena when high energy beams intersect with virtual optical system.
• Creates particles systems consisting from myriads of lighting stars. You can easy control these particles how they born, fly and die.
• Creates highlights and shining stars on brightly parts of raster sources and adjusts and animates a lot of parameters.
• Creates stars and lights on borders of opaque objects. You can easy add stars on edges of any texts, typings, subscribes and etc.
• Vector mask and raster contours both can be used as source of stars. Raster contours will be automatically traced into vector objects with help of build-in means.
• Decorates video, texts, typings, subscribes with beautiful rays and beams. Even these beams can shine on perimeter of raster and vector sources.
• Creates amazing rainbows and adjusts their parameters. Adds rainbow blink on video and typing. Sets rainbow splitting of color for stars' and rays' light.
• 64 bit high-quality drawing mechanism.
• Wide and effective functionality.
• User friendly interface.
• Convenient presets wizard buttons.
• And much more.

Bundle content

AlphaStar bundle has five beautiful independent modules. Each module is a powerful tool that can create a specially group of lighting effects. All modules are adding each to each and let together solve very complex task of video effects production.

AlphaStar - Flare

This filter lets you create beautiful single flash or star or shine... It creates high-quality lighting objects with numerous adjusted parameters and additional elements. Beside of beautiful means for create amazing flashes this module has special tools for automatically animate flashes changes in dynamic.

AlphaStar - Flare is a very powerful tool and has indeed a lot of parameters. But we have worried about usability and how to do the work with our filter enough easily and productive. All parameters are grouped in thematic lists and if some parameters or parameters lists are unused then they can be made disable and minimized.

Each our plug-in module has a set of buttons with small pictures. If you press on a button several parameters will be changed to obtain an effect on the screen same as on the small button picture. This tool quickly empowers the artist to adjust a group of parameters and reproduce an effect from presets list. It allows to very quickly understand main possibilities of AlphaStar plug-ins set. Also this possibility is very helpful then you should quickly produce large amount of video effects. You can click only one button and get approximately positions for necessary parameters. After that you can just little tune some parameters if you want.

Features

• Creates beautiful single stars, flashes, lens flares etc.
• Emulates optical and physical phenomena.
• There are many types of stars with lot of parameters.
• There are many additional lighting elements for flash decorating.
• There is a convenient mechanism of presets.
• Highest quality of rendering

AlphaStar - Starsfall

This tool attends for creating a particle system of lighting objects. With its help you can create a very interesting and fantastic quality massive of stars, sparkles, lights and so on. You can define how lighting particles will be born, flay and die. There are many beautiful ways how to set the law on which stars are making on the screen dizzy tricks and creating very unusual effects. Also this module has rich tools for automatically control the dynamic of flying stars which help to do they movement more complicated and realistic. I do not speak even about drawing quality of lighting particles. There are a lot of possible types of lightings and great variety of adjusted parameters.

AlphaStar – Starsfall lets to use as star particles emitter any vector masks or raster silhouettes. If you will use raster opaque silhouette on transparent background then our plug-in automatically will trace raster object in vector contour and will use it as complicated source for particle system. It lets to add dynamical particle system on titles, texts, subscribes and etc.

Even complicated contour emitter can be animated and you can obtain very interesting effects.

Features

• Creates particles system of lighting objects.
• Many types of standard particles sources.
• Lets to use vector masks as particles source.
• Lets to use raster objects as particles source.
• Automatically tracing raster contours.
• Allows to fly stars along typings or texts contours.
• Various laws and factors for particles movement.
• Many types of stars appearances.

AlphaStar - HighLight

This plug-in should create dynamical highlights, blinks and stars on raster sources. The places where highlights are placed depends on intensity and colors of initial video. This filter lets to your video to play and glisten during playback. You can easy add a sun blinks on water ripples or shining radiance on diamond edges and much many other things.

Features

• Creates highlights on brightly pixels of raster sources.
• There are many types of stars and highlights.
• Automatically adds movement for highlights.
• Lets easy add stars on perimeter of raster text, typings, subscribes and etc.
• Incredible mechanism of color mixing and splitting.
• Lets to generate stars fields and animate them.

AlphaStar - Rays

This effect lets to decorate your video with various types of high-quality rays and beams. There are many ways how to place rays in your composition. This filter has tools for add both single ray and automatically tool for create many rays on complicated contours, vector and raster masks. Also there is a lot of adjusted parameters which response for visual appearance of beams. It is very helpful tool and it lets to adorn your video with beautiful and high-quality FXes.

You can use vector mask and raster contour as source of rays. This possibility lets to decorate any types or texts with fantastic beams.

Features

• Lets to create high-quality rays and beams.
• Many types of rays and lot of parameters.
• Many types of rays sources.
• Lets to draw rays shining on contours of vector and raster texts, typings, logos and etc.
• Unique drawing mechanism with a rainbow aberration effect.

AlphaStar - Blink

This additional module of plug-in bundle AlphaStar should help you to add on subscribes and typings various color blinks. Also this module can draw fine rainbows. This filter can be helpful then you need to add a brightly accent on your text or logo and with help of AlphaStar - Blink you can easy run a color blink on your text surface. Of course other variant of its usage also are possible.
