Glow Lab

Every glow. One filter.

Get the highlights.

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 Looks, One Filter

A whole glow toolkit, behind one popup.

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.

Eighteen looks. Infinite light.

Clean Bloom

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

Diffusion

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

Halation

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

Anamorphic Streak

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

Star Glint

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

Neon

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

Chromatic Aberration

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

Orton

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

Gradient Glow

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

Eye / Veiling Glare

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

Dreamy

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

Iridescent

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

Aurora

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

Aura Spiral

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

Spikes

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

God Rays

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

Edge Rays

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

Hue-Selective

Hue-Selective Only the color you choose blooms; everything else in the frame stays perfectly sharp.

Physically-Based Engine

Light that behaves like light.

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.

Film Looks & Light Shows

From emulsion bleed to a full light show.

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.
