What Lumen does
Lumen recreates the look of a high-quality optical glow, the soft, blooming light that spreads off bright highlights through a real lens. It runs entirely on the GPU as a real After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve effect, so you get a live, render-accurate preview while you work, with none of the layer stacking or plugin chains the look usually takes.
Drop it on any clip and shape the glow from a gentle dreamy haze to a wide, cinematic bloom with anamorphic streaks across the highlights. Every control is animatable, so you can swell the glow on a flare or pulse the light in time with the action.

Gaussian blur
Spread the extracted light with a wide multi-tap blur for a smooth, clean bloom.
Anamorphic streak

Tint
