If you disable the animation capabilities for a particular lens flare parameter,
the corresponding entry in Track View immediately disappears. For more
information, see
Track View on page 3426 .
WARNING When you animate Lens Effects parameters, this creates pointers into
the actual scene, so Lens Effects animation is lost if you save the Video Post queue
in a VPX file on page 7967 . To preserve the animation, save the Video Post data,
including Lens Effects animation, in the MAX file.

The Lens Effects Flare dialog lets you add lens flare effects as a post process to
rendering. Flares are usually applied to lights in your scene. The lens flare will
then be generated around that object. You can control all aspects of the lens
flare in the Lens Effects Flare dialog.
