I see in many music videos that there is a small glow/soft effect done. How is this created in premiere - if that is possible. That would be a great help to me. Thanks.
 
Um... show us what you're talking about, or explain it a little better, and you'll find the answer.

Also, this should be posted in the "Premiere" section of the forums.:beer:
 
Just as an alternative to "doing it" in post, I was watching the extra features on the Haunted Mansion. They used a paint with glass beads in it, and when they hit it with a light, it would reflect causing a glow. They would paint hightlights and whatnot right on the clothes.

That's strange. Interesting, though...
 
I use FCP, you can either use a filter to do it or you can do it ala photoshop style, i.e. place the same clip into two tracks (similar to layers in photoshop). On one track, add blur to the clip and reduce opacity to your desired levels (say 50-70%). You'll get the same effect as the diffusion filter. I've tried both ways and they work fine.
