Question

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.

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

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