Size Affects the size of the overall lens flare. This value is a percentage of
the size of the rendered frame. Default = 30.
Other parts of the lens flare, such as glow, ring, etc., also have size adjustments,
but this size setting affects the entire lens flare, including secondary flares.
Adjusting individual sizes does not affect this size variable, or vice versa. This
parameter can be
animated on page 6647 . Animating the Size parameter causes
flares to grow or diminish in size over the course of your animation.
Hue If Apply Hue Globally is selected, it controls the amount of Hue applied
to the Lens Flare effect. This parameter can be animated.
Apply Hue Globally Globally applies the Hue of the Node Source to the other
Flare effects.
Angle Affects the amount that the flare rotates from its default position, as
the position of the flare changes relative to the camera. This parameter can
be animated. The lock button to the right of the Auto Key button locks the
secondary flares so they do rotate. When the button is disabled, the secondary
flares will not rotate.
Animating the Angle parameter does not animate the manual and automatic
secondary flares unless you turn on the L button. The default behavior mimics
a camera, in which the aperture does not rotate.
Rays, stars, and streaks don't animate either unless you turn on their individual
Auto Rotate toggles.
Intensity Controls the overall brightness and opacity of the flare. Higher
values produce bright, more opaque flares, and lower values produce dim,
transparent flares. This parameter can be animated.
Squeeze Squeezes the size of the lens flare, either horizontally or vertically
to compensate for different frame aspect ratios. You can set Squeeze from 100
to -100. Positive values stretch the flare horizontally, and negative values
stretch it vertically. The value is a percentage of the size of the flare. This
parameter can be animated.
For example, if you convert a film for use on TV, applying Squeeze would
cause the lens flare to look correct on the smaller screen, and not thin and
tall, although a wide-screen 35-MM film image is much wider than a regular
TV.
Although Squeeze is a global setting, you can apply this effect to selected
portions of your flare through the
Preferences panel on page 6653 so that only
the flare elements you want are distorted. The Squeeze spinner value is given
as a percentage of the size of the flare.
