A Free After Effects Template

Using the Light Leaks

Simply drag the light leaks over your desired footage in the NLE of your choice and set the
blending mode to Screen or Add.

Premiere Pro: ​With your footage selected in the timeline, navigate to your effect controls
(Shift+5) and select the dropdown arrow next to Opacity. Hit the dropdown menu next to the
word Blend Mode and select Screen.

After Effects: ​With your footage selected in your composition, simply click the dropdown menu
under the word “Mode” (see image). If you can’t see the “Mode” menu, click the “Toggle
Switches /Modes” button at the bottom of the composition. You can select Screen or Add to
get the standard light leak effect. N
​ ote: Until background footage is placed under your light
leak, you won’t see any change.

FCPX:​ With your footage selected in your timeline, click the inspector button to open up your
video effects controls. Scroll all the way to the bottom. Under the section labeled
“Compositing” you will see a “Blend Mode” menu. Simply change the blending mode to
screen.

support requests that require detailed responses. This means that unlike our paid products, ​we
currently do not offer technical support with RocketStock freebies​.

All of the freebies found on RocketStock are 100% free to use. However, you may not distribute or sell the
