Bright light transition?

[momoffduty]

How do you make a bright light transition in AE? Here is an example with a white blur, but I've also seen some with a color:

Aren't those just animated Lens Flare effects?

I was wondering that too. But, I have seen some with full color that starts a various x y positions and blooms outward. Animated mask? with a glow maybe? When I run across another example I will post. In the meantime, any other ideas?

I wonder if you could manipulate the properties of the "additive dissolve" transition??

Just a thought

It sorta looks like that transition. I used that one recently and it is very random. I've seen this transition dozens of times, but now can't find any more examples.

This isn't it but this is still pretty cool

Chuck great minds think alike! I was just over at Video CoPilot looking over the tuts looking for that transition. Looks the lens flare is the one. I have his plug ins and will play with it. Looks like you can tint it too. Thanks.
