Orbs Footage

Getting better, but the light rays are a bit confusing, they look like they are shimmering because they are behind the trees, but the orb appears to be in front of the trees.
Perhaps if you have the shimmer based on time and not position/movement
 
Yeah. Totally agree. The new after effects has mocha which is supposed to be good for that but I'm still trying to learn it. A lot to take in. I'll have to look at a few more tutorials to figure it out. This is a trial and error short for me. I figure I'll keep shooting it and reshooting, editing and reediting to learn things. I never filmed anything before this so I figure it's like going to film school for myself. Reading a lot and watching a lot of tutorials. And getting good feedback to help along the way. I appreciate it. I'll keep trying to make it better. Thanks again.
 
Okay. I didn't have to use mocha. All I had to do was set the stopwatch position in the bottom of the timeline after I added the effect then it just automatically picked up on it and I just adjusted and changed the position and size and shape as I went. Needs adjustment but I'm already liking it better. Here's some sample footage with 3 different magic bullet looks. If you have opinions just let me know. Always looking for feedback. Here's a clip...

Thanks. I'm still going to mess with the timing of the orbs and the strength of the light to see what else I can do.
