dynamic lens flare like resolve 12.5? was created by Wright
Hi
I have tried the newest 12.5 version of davinci resolve an they added an effect to the studio version (anyone can test it via the free version but you get the effect watermarked) with a lens flare which you can insert like an automatic keyframed tracker on lets say a window, and then the point with the lens flare automatically tracks where it should be (at the window) and sends out light ray streaks and circles tha looks quite realistic and I dont have to do any manual keyframing since it animates the streaks and rays automatically depending on how the camera moves i.e. left/right.
Is there any similar fx / plugin for fcpx that responds to camera movement?
It would save a lot of time since I otherwise have to animate the movement myself from what I understand on the available fcpx plugins.
anyone?

I have never used daVinci. I have an FxFactory product from SugarFX called Flare. The flare components change as the flare center point moves, must like you would expect with a real lens. The center point is trackable, of course. You just need to know how to track in FCPX or Motion.

Thanks for the reply!
I tried some similar plugin from pixel film studios (ProVega: Volume 3) yesterday but their tutorial suggested manual keyframing by adding a new keyframe every other 5-10 frames and manually moving the centerpoint + the reflection of the flare inside fcpx and it does not look that natural at all.
I am on the trial version without motion at the moment and have not yet messed around with tracking but I guess that is the way to go.
I saw the borisfx bragging about their trackable 3d lens flare but perhaps I can achieve the same kind of realistic moving lens flare via other techniques or plugins.
Anyway did you mean this xflare plugin?
