Free Light Leaks

Ever need some quick and easy light leaks for your projects? Here’s 16 light leaks I’m giving away for free in my Light Leaks Pack! It’s the least I could do to give back to the awesome supportive community I have here at the Dojo.

The pack contains 16, full 1080p HD clips of real light leaks. Due to the high resolution, the pack is rather large at around 500mb. Please download gracefully, if the download is slow, wait awhile so the server can catch up with all the requests.

You can download them here:

You can use these in your personal or commercial projects. No link back required, but feel free to give the Dojo a shoutout. You may not redistribute or include these files in your own free/commercial products. The only place people should be able to get these files are from this website.

Ideas & Examples

Here’s an example of how you can use light leaks in your animations. I created this awhile back not using this pack, but it should give you an idea. Play around with the blending modes (Add, Screen, Color Dodge, etc) and add some color correction/grading, you should get some interesting results. You can even colorize the light leaks to something wild like a neon blue and combine leaks together to form longer/random leaks.

Hope you guys enjoy the pack and hopefully all the downloads won’t crash the server! These aren’t the greatest light leaks, but they should get the job done and allow you to play around with the old school style. If you create anything cool with these, let me know down in the comments below. I’d love to hear all the feedback and comments.

    Awesome! Thank you so much for these awesome FREE light leaks. I just used them to add a bit of styling to a motion menu for a wedding DVD. Check it out if you’d like to:

    I have a question: if I understand well I cannot use some of these leaks in an after effects photo gallery and then sell the gallery on videohive or similar sites, am I correct?

    Reply
    • VinhSon Nguyen
      March 1, 2013 at 12:21 PM

      Thanks!

      Correct because then you’d be packaging the files I made with the project. You “could” pre-render all the light leaks you used into one lightleak file and distribute that. This is a special case :)

    Hey VinhSon

    I’m new to After Effects and as I understand for me to use these Light Leaks (amazing by the way) I need them to be Alpha + RGB. Nice and easy to download but just need a bit of help getting them to work!!

      Just put them on top of a layer and change the blending mode to Screen or Add (:

      It’ll work in both, including all NLE editors. The clips are .mov files, so any application that supports .mov type files should support it!
