“BCC Lens Flare 3D is an upgrade of BCC 7′s Lens Flare and Lens Flare Advanced plug-ins. The artist can now use After Effects’ own comp camera with the plug-in, or use the built-in camera from the filter. It also includes camera and light rigs for Premiere Pro. There are a multitude of choices to make, from fog to flickering. There are also a number of presets ranging from Big Bright Amber Light to Z-Stripe – a flat white stripe emanating from the light source. Other highlights include: the use of luma values to automatically generate flares; automated shimmers; colored rings; and chroma hoops and chromatic aberrations. There is a wide list of improvements to flares in BCC 8.”
