Was the lens flare effect removed from Premiere? I am not finding it. Was it renamed? Combined into another effect? If it was removed, why? I am in Premiere Version 26.0.0 (Build 72). Working on a Windows 11 machine.

    If you look in the effects panel you will see the Lens Flare has been restored.

    That’s so disapointing. Was it replaced with any comparable effect?

    You may have to go to After Effects to do it.
