A flame or fire rising effect

[ultimateX021]

I'm curious about doing a fire effect where the flame rises up and covers the entire image. It can adjusted at a slow speed or fast speed. What programs will allow me to do that?

[jt_x]

what programs are you using now?

[ultimateX021]

Windows Movie Maker and I got Roxio Digital Media Deluxe Suite 10, but I'm still getting used to some of the controls and such. Last time I checked, I didn't see any flaming rising effect.

You need "after effects" and "eye candy for after effects"
just google it

Or just particle illusion 3. Has that effect from the beggining...

A cheap / free option is Quicktime. v6.5 had a flame filter in it, it wasn't very flexible but it was there.

I should point out that the filter was removed in v7 - so depending upon your setup you may or may not be able to go back to 6.5.

That's what I would do. You can download the trial version for free and export a bunch of effects that you can keep. Then put the fire effect into your video, In vegas you can use chroma or different compositing modes along with pan/crop (I'm not sure how your software works tho...) Or you could put your vid into PI but I never learned how to do that.

I used a flame transition at the end of 'Animerata', just before credits. It didn't fill the screen with flame though, not sure if it could. Sony Vegas Pro, might have been in a pack I installed.

Best thing to do is buy particle illusions for this kind of thing

if you want to do it like almoozaayaaf suggested than you can use this tut:

Code: Select all

(i've read the tut doesnt works out good though, try playing with fractal noise anyway should be possible somehow)
