Sun position control
If you have a stationary frame or wish to control the position of the sun, use this cross hair to set position, after selecting the option from the setting above. NB The sun will still fade in at out at the frame edges, adjustable in the advanced sun menu.
Fine-tune intensity
Set the overall brightness of the effect. This will affect all added light. If you don’t want to use the Master twinkle amount (below) or want to add extra twinkling/variation to the light, you can animate this value.
Sun master size
Set the overall size of the sun.
Twinkle reacts to :
Master twinkle amount
Sets the overall amount of flickering of the light, or “twinkling” of the sun. This will in turn affect the light getting through to the light leaks, which have additional variations on them.
Hi / Med / Lo color
Set the overall color palette. NB there is another tin function available for the leaks in the advanced leaks section.
It is not usually necessary to have a Mid value. As usual, starting with a pre-set in the ballpark you want is usually a good idea. Usually, it is also good to start with something that looks realistic / matches the existing image unless you are going on an avant-garde hallucinogenic odyssey.
Leaks intensity
Set the brightness of the light leaks. This will only affect the leaks and is always relative to the sun's brightness. The leaks automatically vary slightly in addition to the main sun twinkle, however, If you want extra flicker in the light leak, you can animate this value if you like to bring in extra flicker. You can set the extra leaks flicker in the advanced leaks section at the bottom also – see below.
Lens smudges intensity
Set the brightness of the lens smudges. The lens smudges are reactive and only show when there is some light from the light leaks or sun in the frame. Use this value to set how visible they are. It is usually a good idea to set them just slightly fainter than the level that makes them obvious. They show up more in plain skies and empty frames.
