Powerful interface

Shine's interface makes it easy to customize your own light effects. Fine-tune source point, ray length, shimmer appearance, colorization, opacity, and a full range of compositing modes.

Multi-color presets

For movie titles, choose from multi-color presets such as simple fire, green X-Ray, and Radioaktiv. Or for more subtle effects, you can extract colors from an existing logo or title, or make beveled effects with the alpha edges feature.

Shimmering controls

Flexible shimmer settings let you create automatic, loopable variations that add visual interest to light effects without the rendering overhead of complex compositing. Shimmer controls can also be used to create seamless loops of any desired length for attractive DVD backgrounds.

Create compelling light effects without leaving your editing timeline, and without the tedious render times of specialized 3D applications. Sunshine through clouds, headlights through fog, or horror movie titles: Shine does it all. Choose from 22 powerful presets, or make your own light ray effects from scratch. 16- and 32-bit support guarantee high-quality light effects for any project.
