The first are the basic ones that appear in the Final Cut Pro X Inspector, the in-depth ones let you change the components of the flare itself and can be accessed only from the OSC Edit button. The mFlare 2 effects have two sets of configuration settings. Not too much to my surprise - given my previous experiences with MotionVFX’s plugins - it looked exactly like what I expected from having created similar shots at roughly the same angle using a zoom lens with no lens hood attached to it. I used a preset that came close to what I needed, tracked the sun and then watched the effect. In Final Cut Pro X, after dragging the mFlare 2 plugin to the clip on the timeline, I was greeted with On Screen Controls (OSC) that contained buttons for editing the effect, for tracking and resetting. In this case, I deliberately used a lens that was not “flare sensitive” enough, as I planned to add a nice flare in post using mFlare 2. I shot at an angle that I knew would normally cause the sun to generate flares. ![]() I tried it with a shot of a large square in my native city, Antwerp. I was especially interested in the Organic category, as that one holds the flare effects that come closest to the real thing. It has an impressive number of presets, neatly organised in Anamorphic, Cinematic, Organic, Offscreen and SciFi sections. MFlare 2 lives in the Effects category of Final Cut Pro X’s Inspector. Its plugins and effects are of a very fine quality and most plugins have mocha tracking technology on board. MFlare 2 is a plugin developed by MotionVFX, a European developer who is becoming an important competitor of FxFactory. It’s also pretty close to a real lens flare if you create an “Organic” one. MotionVFX created mFlare 2, a plugin that uses the Mocha tracker to bind your lens flare to the subject that you want it to move together with. In addition, most lens flare offerings don’t even come close to the real thing. That’s tedious and often not very accurate. But titles don’t move with the subject causing the flare unless you move them with it, using keyframes. To create flares in Final Cut Pro X, you can buy a collection of “titles” and by positioning these get more or less what looks like a lens flare. ![]() Erik Vlietinck has taken a look at mFlare 2, and is certain that it will give you your lens flare fix! MotionVFX have always had their finger on the pulse when it comes to creating useful plugins and effects. As such, sunspots can be seen as areas of potential solar activity.MFlare 2 lets you add realistic lens flares to your footage When these strong magnetic field lines suddenly move, solar flares and other eruptions of solar material like coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are released. Solar flares tend to erupt from areas of the sun known as sunspots, where the sun's magnetic field lines are so strong that they prevent heat from reaching the atmosphere, leading to cooler, dark-colored areas. In any case, even if the flare itself didn't pose any risk of disruption on Sunday, its source is worth paying attention to. However, solar activity website stated that the flare's classification may be an underestimate due to it being partially covered by the edge of the sun. Generally, flares only start having noticeable consequences on Earth if they are M-class or above. Flares can be classed by one of four letters increasing in strength from B, C, M, and X, and each classification has a subdivision from 1 to 9. Sunday's flare has been measured as a C9.3-class flare-a relatively weak classification relative to other solar flares. The flare indicates a potentially active region of the sun that is turning toward us. A NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory image of the solar flare that erupted on Sunday, July 31, 2022.
