🙂 I think Anil is just looking for a lightning op/filter in combustion which is, unfortunately, not there. I know that the sapphire plug-ins have such a thing and trapcode -but, I’m not sure at all of the last one.

best,

You can do lightning with particles, there’s a preset in one of the libraries. Or there’s one for sparks or something like that.

This is how I did lightning fx for a project i’m working on now (it was suggested by my boss after asking for a lightning plugin). A little tedious but looks great, maybe even better than some plugins.

Get a bunch of photos of lightnings off the net. 4-6 will do for one lightning fx. Make them b/w, mask out the lightnings and align them in photoshop, then save them as a sequence. Now load it up to c*, set to blend mode to additive, try slowing footage to 50% with frame blending. voila, great-looking lightning without plugins. You may have a hard time positioning the image if you want the lightnings to go exactly from one point to another, but I think it’s manageable.

One question to some copyright-savvy folks in here:
Can I use copyrighted images from photo libraries for this? But not ones I’ve purchased but just demos without paying for them. It’s just a fraction of the original picture and it’s modified beyond recognition, so I’ll probably get by even if it’s not legal, i’m just curious.
