Need a Sparkly Effect for a Swimming Pools Shot

Hey all...

I have to do some post on some swimming pool shots and the client wants little sparklies on the water highlights. I have lots of plug ins but nothing like that and can't seem to find anything.

Anybody know of something simple for this?

Look at Boris Continuum Complete
Glitter or Glint.

RedGiant Universe
Glimmer or maybe Glow Highlights.

… I wouldn't call Boris Continuum as a 'simple' one , nor do I want to compete with it, but I made you quick'n dirty a lil' generator:




After DL & extract, install in Movies/Motion Templates/Generators…

The sliders are self-explanatrory, hopefully.
set Compo mode to Add
apply mask to keep sparkles inside the pool

This is jsut a rough built, in case you own Motion, feel free to customize it (Motion offers diff. sparks)

again karsten being very helpful..good onya mate.

Thanks for the input...and Karsten, Thanks for your ingenuity. I have also discovered that Magic Bullet Looks has a tool for this.

What is the Looks filter/tool you found?
