when I use the glare-effect with a background it works perfectly, but when the background is transparent the glare-effect doesnt overlap the objece, meaning it doesnt show on the transparent background.The glare streaks shoud go beyond the space of the object, but doesnt. enter image description here

There is nothing wrong with your file. Blender's viewer is broken, and has been broken for many years.

It cannot display pixels that are luminous and transparent (it cannot do proper Associated alpha). Switch to Color (RGB) view instead of color and Alpha. You should be able to see the halos and blurs.

As an alternative composite over a black background.

Beware that if you try to save the image as png with alpha you will get no halos or blurs, as the format doesn't support associated alpha either.

  • Don't be voting this answer down folks, as Susu's answer is absolutely correct here. There is a developer currently working on fixing this I believe, after all of these years. – troy_s May 04 '20 at 19:29
