-
Shift Speed:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Translation speed of the lights. If non-zero, the result is automatically animated to shift at this rate. The result of animated Speed values may not be intuitive, so for variable speed motion it is usually best to set this to 0 and animate the Shift Start values instead.
-
Shift Start:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Translation offset of the lights.
-
Use Source Color:
Default:
0.25,

-
Shape:
Popup menu, Default: 7 sides
.
Determines the shape of the simulated camera iris.
-
Circle:
round.
- 3 sides: triangle.
- 4 sides: square.
- 5 sides: pentagon.
- 6 sides: hexagon.
- 7 sides: etc.
- 3 sides: triangle.
-
Circle:
round.
-
Roundness:
Default:
0.3,
Range:
any.
Modifies the shape of the simulated camera iris. A value of 1 produces a circle; 0 gives a flat-sided polygon with a number of sides given by the Shape parameter. Less than 0 causes the sides to squeeze inward giving a star shape, while a value greater than 1 causes the corners to squeeze inward, giving a flowery shape. Has no effect if the Shape is set to Circle.
-
Rotate:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Rotates the iris shape.
-
Bokeh:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
any.
Softens the outer edge of the iris shape, which gives a softer look to the defocused highlights. A negative value darkens the center of the iris shape, producing a ring-like defocus shape.
-
Lens Noise:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
Increase to add noise to the iris shape, dirtying up the defocus a little. Can make the result more realistic. Turn up past 1 for a more stylistic result.
-
Noise Freq:
Default:
20,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The frequency of the added noise. Ignored if Lens Noise is zero.
-
Noise Freq Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.

-
Chroma Distort:
Default:
0.05,
Range:
any.
Adds some chromatic aberration around the edges of the image; red and blue wavelengths of light refract differently in real lenses, producing fringes of color where the rays strike the lens at oblique angles.
-
Color Fringing:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Color Fringing produces rings of color around every object in the image by varying the focal distance for each color channel. It gives a different style of chromatic aberration from Chroma Distort because it's not just in the image corners.
-
Flicker Amp:
Default:
0.2,
Range:
0 or greater.
The amount of random flickering of the lights.
-
Flicker Speed:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
The speed of random flickering.
-
Flicker Randomness:
Default:
0.7,
Range:
0 to 1.
Controls the variability of the flicker. When set to zero, the lights will flicker constantly, with a small amount of random variation. At higher values, the flickering will have longer steady spells, with the occasional large spike.
-
Seed:
Default:
0.123,
Range:
0 or greater.
Initializes the random number generator for light positioning, size, and color variation. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Combine:
Popup menu, Default: Screen
.
Determines how the lights are combined with the Source clip.
-
Screen:
performs a blend function which can help prevent
overly bright results.
- Add: the lights are added to the source.

- Add: the lights are added to the source.
-
Screen:
performs a blend function which can help prevent
overly bright results.
-
Affect Alpha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
If this value is positive the output Alpha channel will include some opacity from the lights. The maximum of the red, green, and blue light brightness is scaled by this value and combined with the Source Alpha at each pixel.
-
Blur Mask:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas. It has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Invert Mask:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If on, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Mask Type:
Popup menu, Default: Luma
.
This setting is ignored unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Luma:
uses the luminance of the Mask input to scale the brightness of the lights.
- Color: uses the RGB channels of the Mask input to scale the colors of the lgiths.
- Alpha: uses the alpha channel of the Mask input to scale the brightness of the lights.
- Color: uses the RGB channels of the Mask input to scale the colors of the lgiths.
-
Luma:
uses the luminance of the Mask input to scale the brightness of the lights.
-
Show Size:
