What is it?
This free preset for Adobe After Effects is a big improvement on the standard Glow effect that's built into AE. AfterGlow delivers much brighter, larger, and more realistic glows that are intense at the edge, and have a large gradual falloff.
Once installed, you can apply the AfterGlow preset to your layers just like you would the old Glow. You can customize it with the same familiar controls, with added functionality to adjust the glow’s gradient ratio to create more realistic glows that are intense and brighter at the edge, and have an extended, subtle fade. Separate controls allow you add a massive, faint glow around the whole layer. Additionally, you can add and rotate glow streaks to give your designs extra flair.
AfterGlow can be applied to any layer, such as shapes, text, or footage. No need to bother with costly plugins – this coveted effect can now be part of your design toolkit for free, no strings attached!
