How to add a sparkling light effect in Premiere Elements [For Beginners]

2023-02-02

Here's how to add a sparkling light animation in Adobe Premiere Elements, usable for wedding videos and more.

The version used this time is Premiere Elements 2022.

What you can create

Here's a sample.

Looks pretty good, right?

From "Add Graphics", filter by "Animation Overlays" and find "Lens Flare_1".

Premiere Elements グラフィックアニメーションオーバーレイ

Drag and drop it onto the timeline.

At this time, make sure the added "Lens Flare_1" is on a layer above your video or image.

Premiere Elements レンズフレア_1

This will result in a black screen with sparkling lights, so open "Effects" > "Opacity" > "Blend Mode" for Lens Flare_1.

Set it to "Screen" or similar.

Feel free to experiment with different options here.

Then, it will sparkle over your image!

In addition to the "Lens Flare_1" we just added,

"Light Leak_2" also looks beautiful.

Since "Light Leak_2" has a brightly glowing part towards the end,

If you cut that part and overlay it on a scene transition, it will look effective.

And that's how to add a sparkling, soft light effect in Adobe Premiere Elements.
