Re: BCC LED Filter: How to make a realistic glow

Hi Max,

Here's what I would suggest:

• start by applying the BCC LED filter to the image clip
• set the LED Gap parameter value to 2
• set the LED Size parameter value to 6
• set the Glow size to 10
• set the Glow Brightness to 25
• set the Brightness to 220

Then add the BCC Colorize Glow filter on top of the BCC LED filter
• set the Blur Amount parameter value to 10
• then adjust the value of the Intensity parameter and you should have a nice glowing result.

If you have a preexisting alpha channel, you can always use the BCC Glow Alpha Edges filter, or you can generate some alpha using one of the Keys and Matte category, precomp / nest, and and then use the BCC Glow Alpha Edges filter to generate a nice looking glow result.

I hope this helps.

Peter.
