What LightsOn does

LightsOn is a toolkit by Manuel does Motion for adding lens flares and lights to scenes and animations in After Effects. It is built inside After Effects from Standard Elements, so there is no separate plug-in to install.

A light is added to a composition and animated through Essential Properties. Everything stays adjustable via layers, expression controls and expressions, and layers from different lights can be mixed together to create layered looks. Artists who want glints, glows and flares that remain fully editable can use it directly in their comps.
