Trapcode Shine

Blend Modes and Opacity

Shine has a built-in Transfer Mode pop-up menu so it can composite the ”shined” image onto the source image. Source Opacity sets the opacity (the opposite of transparency) of the source. Shine Opacity sets the opacity of the effect. Below are examples of the different Blend Modes. Most of them are identical to those found in Adobe After Effects. Notable exceptions include the ”None” mode (which eliminates the source layer, leaving only Shine), and ”Behind” (which composites the Shine effect behind the source layer).
