Topic: Post Production Lightning effect
What software can I use to make a lightning bolt in post or that's free and easy to use?
Frame-by-frame

As a video doesn't matter to me

If you have Sony Vegas you can use a plug-in from there. If only it would work for me

Ahh, a question that has vexed man since creation.
Edit: WAIT, WHAT??? DON, YOU CAN DO THAT???

Yeah, gimme a sec, I'll try and get Vegas to work.

EDIT: Gotcha, in the Media Generators tab, click "Noise Texture" and then scroll down untill you see Lightning. Just tweak around and then RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!!!

Like coming out of a device and hitting a person to be specific
No, it's not 3D. For something like that you need the FXHome plugin and After Effects.

actually, if you do the Pan/Crop effect, you can make it sideways.
BTW: Ride The Lightning!
Schweet Platinum 9! Thanks Don, I'll go try it out!
