Every glow. One filter.
Watch the Video

From a clean, natural bloom to neon edges, god rays, and animated aurora — eighteen distinct glow looks live behind one Look popup.

Halation's warm emulsion bleed, Pro-Mist diffusion, Orton dreaminess and chromatic fringing — the looks that make footage feel shot, not filtered.

Anamorphic streaks, 4-, 6- and 8-point star glints, volumetric god rays and crisp radial spikes — many with optional rainbow dispersion.

Iridescent oil-slick sheen, flowing aurora curtains and a spinning aura spiral that animate on their own — no keyframes required.
Eighteen distinct glow looks live behind a single popup. They all share one physically-based engine and the same handful of core controls. Switch the Look, and the inspector reconfigures itself around it.

Clean Bloom The pure, natural highlight bloom the whole filter is built on — soft light scatter, done right.

Diffusion A misty veil that blooms across the frame and lifts the blacks, like a Pro-Mist filter on the lens.

Halation Warm amber bleed around highlights — the organic red-orange glow of light blooming on film.

Anamorphic Streak A single light streak at any angle, with optional rainbow dispersion — the classic anamorphic flare.

Star Glint 4-, 6-, or 8-point cross stars on every highlight, like a star filter — with dispersion to taste.

Neon Traces the edges and lights them up — a crisp core and a colored halo, for neon and outline glows.

Chromatic Aberration A luminous glow whose halo splits into prismatic red-and-blue fringing along its edges.

Orton The dreamy, soft-focus, screen-blended glow loved by landscape and portrait shooters.

Gradient Glow Maps the glow through a two-color ramp — fire, tungsten, or any duotone you design.

Eye / Veiling Glare A heavy-tailed physiological glow with a veiling lift, mimicking how bright light blooms in the eye.

Dreamy A wide, warm, lifted soft-focus haze for a gentle, romantic, glowing atmosphere.

Iridescent A thin-film, oil-slick spectral sheen riding on the glow — controllable band density.

Aurora Flowing, domain-warped color curtains that animate over time, all on their own.

Aura Spiral A spectral rainbow spiral radiating from a center point, slowly spinning around it.

Spikes Sharp, crisp radial spokes shooting out of every highlight, with 6-to-8 controllable orientations.

God Rays Smooth, volumetric crepuscular rays streaming from a center point you place on screen.

Edge Rays Rays cast from the edges in your image toward the center point — light raking across a subject.

Hue-Selective Only the color you choose blooms; everything else in the frame stays perfectly sharp.
Glow Lab blooms in true scene-linear light. So highlights scatter the way real light does — soft and natural, never a muddy gamma-space haze. It's compositor-grade glow, running live in Final Cut Pro.

Glow Lab reaches far past a basic bloom. Halation, Pro-Mist diffusion and chromatic fringing give real film character; streaks, god rays and spikes give the drama. The spectral looks even animate on their own.
