Oooh, don't do the frames as individual files. Then you have to apply the glow effects to every single frame individually. Not fun at all.

That about sums it up. 
Clashes can be done a number of ways. Most of the effective methods involve heavily modified lens flares. You can use Radial Blur to get rid of the yucky artifacts (the circular and polygonal shapes). Levels can be used to change the brightness; Hue and Saturation can be used to give it a golden color. Just experiment around a lot. If you own Star Wars DVDs, freeze-frame some clashes to study the appearance of the flash.

I meant that you should stick with FLMs, not invididual images.

I explained it; you just fill those areas with black. I know it's not the quickest solution, but it's not that time-consuming. It would take WAY longer to add the glow effect to every single frame in your movie.

So, you've got your glow layer or layers. They have black backgrounds and they're set to Screen or Color Dodge, right? Here's all you have to do to get the unwanted glow to disappear.
Hit M to choose the marquee tool. Make sure it's the rectangular one; hit shift-M if it's the elliptical one. Now press D and then X. Now draw a rectangle around an unwanted glow, making sure that you go all the way to the glow's edges. Now press ctrl-backspace. This will fill your selection with black, causing the unwanted glow to vanish. Now make a new selection over another unwanted glow and press ctrl-backspace again. Keep doing this for every frame with unwanted glow. Click, drag, ctrl-backspace. Click, drag, ctrl-backspace. Boring, I know. But it goes by pretty quickly once you fall into the rhythm of it.

Not bad at all. I personally would go for a brighter glow on the blue one, but it's looking good.
