To anybody, I need some desperate help on Lenzfx. Being quite happy with results I have on static images, as soon as I try some relatively simple animation effects, I get some very unsatisfactory things. I am being asked to do a simple commercial for french television. Nothing really painful, just a camera move in space following a logo arriving near our planet earth, with the sun appearing behind it. I was intending of using Lenzfx to do it, but I am running into a problem: I have placed a light behind the planet (my flare reference) which gradually appears and which isn't in camera at the beginning of the shot. The problem is that the flare doesn't appear gradually in camera (but doesit does so behind the planet), which means that from one frame to the other the glow of my flare just pops up. It doesn't look good at all. Lenzfx doesn't seem to calculate the flare when the reference light is out camera. So what's the answer to that problem? If anybody has any ideas I'd be really greatful… Pierre Coffin.
