This LIVE (or maybe undead) tutorial (well, less "tutorial" and more "let's find out together") may or may not be happening in the town of Halloween.

Work faster with Real Lens Flares Maxon Red Giant 2023-10-03 | A tip for working faster with Real Lens Flares. Since it's an actual ray-traced simulation of light, Real Lens Flares might be a little slower than you'd like. This tutorial shows if you switch your RLF layer to be in Draft Mode in After Effects, the flare will switch into a faster-rendering mode, but After Effects will automatically render it in full quality at render time!Learn more about what makes Real Lens Flares so unique here: maxon.net/red-giant/vfx/real-lens-flaresGet all our tools here: maxon.net/red-giantGet the latest news and updates: maxon.net/email-updatesFollow us for more awesome content:Twitter: twitter.com/RedGiantNewsInstagram: instagram.com/redgiantnewsFacebook: facebook.com/RedGiantSoftware
