What is a lens flare?: A lens flare is a response to bright light, such as the sun that leaves starbursts, circles, or rings in a row across an image. The non-image-forming light reflects off the lens elements, the diaphragm, and the sensor, generating artifacts in the footage.
 
Not all lens flares are alike, in fact, there are various types: veiling, ghosts, sensor, and anamorphic lens flares.
 
What’s a veiling lens flare?: it commonly transpires when a bright light source (like the sun) is outside the lens’s angle of view. The result is hazy, with a lack of contrast effect.
 
What’s a ghost lens flare?: are all of the artifacts that are visible in the image, whether it’s reflections of the light source or shapes similar to the lens diaphragm.
 
What’s a sensor lens flare?:
 Different from lens flares as they are not just light getting reflected by lens elements and the diaphragm but are light reflected from the imaging sensor to the lens and then back to the imaging sensor.
 
What is an anamorphic lens flare?: these flares are created by a type of lens that captures a wider field of view without distorting the image.

A Beginner’s Guide to a good workflow for post-production video editing

  • Plan your shoots for success. Decide what shots are needed and how best to get the right ones way before you even get to the first shoot day. 
  • Always pay attention to the details when shooting. You don’t want a mishap like a takeaway coffee cup to appear in the scene where it doesn’t belong (Ahem, Game of Thrones).
  • Stay organized. No one enjoys hunting for misplaced video files while editing. So, knowing how your editing software imports and stores files can be very beneficial. 
  • By developing a good file management system for your assets at the very beginning, you can stay organized and prevent yourself from a maddening experience tracking down missing clips later.
     
  • How to make your edits easier? Become familiar with the shortcuts for your editing program. Knowing the shortcuts will minimize the time it takes to execute many actions. 
     
  • Use an EQ filter to clean up dialogue in your edits. If there’s a lot of hum in the background, it can be toned down using the low-shelf frequency and adjusting the mid-shelf to make the dialogue crisper.

  • We all know how the right song can make or break a scene. It can take your audience from laughing to crying and feeling everything in between. Solve your audio woes with royalty-free tracks available exclusively at ClipStock.
  • From animals to cityscapes, mouthwatering foods, and awe-inspiring travel destinations, we have clips of everything editors, and creators need to intercut or tie together primary shots to achieve a cohesive story.
  • Why use stock video? Sometimes a script may dictate the story travels beyond the U.S. borders. Sending out a crew may not be affordable, possible with time constraints, or even unsafe. Stock footage can take the place of sending out a crew, helping you fill out a storyline in a way that is affordable and quick.
  • Music licensing can be tricky, especially when you’re on a tight budget. That’s why we offer royalty-free tracks, so that no matter your project, you’ll have the perfect song available at your fingertips at a cost-efficient price.
