Using light leaks to color grade your film can be a fantastic way to give your footage a dynamic, custom look. It's compatible with every video editing suite you've ever worked with (Premiere, Final Cut, Avid, etc.). Simply import them in and layer them on to add that extra depth.
How do I use light leaks?Light leaks are surprisingly easy to work with. All you have to do is layer your light leak element above your footage in your NLE timeline and set your blending mode to either Screen or Add. The Screen blending mode will add the light leaks into your scene in a more “natural” way, while the Add blending mode will create more of a glowing effect. Screen mode works perfectly 90% of the time.
It’s best to add light leaks in post so you have more control over the final image.
