It can create all kinds of lighting effects that can be completely customized, and can also "interact" with the video footage itself, creating effects that can truly take on an integrated 3D effect.įor my tests, I used Knoll Light Factory in After Effects and also in Final Cut Pro.

It does much more than create a simple lens flare in a shot. I'm glad to see the name change, as Lens Flare alone under-values the myriad of possibilities that you have with Knoll Light Factory.

Previous versions of this product were known as Knoll Lens Flare. They are sold by Pinnacle Systems/Puffin Designs, and retails for $395 US. Knoll Light Factory is a series of plug-ins for use in After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Electric Image, Photoshop, Commotion Pro and Commotion DV.
