Whenever it comes to making special effects, Adobe After Effects comes at the top of all software applications. It is one of the most popular motion graphics and compositing software applications in which you can create amazing stuff like fire effect which we are going to see this blog.
This blog will provide you the important 12 steps to create
fire effects in After Effects.
Start from the initial steps.
Step 1- Take width as 1920 and height as 1080 then create a
solid layer with same width and height.
Step 2- Right click, then select effect > Noise & Grain >Fractal
Noise.
Step 3- Use Fractal Noise and do some setting also. Use key frame in offset
turbulence for moving Fractal Noise.
Moreover, go to the effects > select distort > then choose turbulent
displace and use key
frame in offset (turbulence).
Furthermore, duplicate turbulent displace and change the setting to create the
effect.
Step 4- Again go to effect > stylize > then choose CC Glass and do some
setting like the given image.
Step 5- Create duplicate main solid layer then do some settings in effect as
shown in the image given below.
Step 6- Again duplicate solid layer and change the setting of Fractal Noise.
Moreover, select both duplicate layers and then change the
blending mode to Screen. Also do some little changes in
both layers like given in the image below, then pre compose all layers.
Step 7- Take a solid layer, then go to effect > distort > again turbulent displace
Furthermore, use Ellipse tool to create the mask, in the mask use feather and
do some changes in turbulent displace.
Set the key frame in offset for movement of turbulent displace.
Moreover, in the first layer select alpha matte and select both layers, then do
pre compose.
Step 8- Select layer then go to the effect menu > effect > video copilot
> VC color vibrance
Step 9- Some changes in VC color vibrance and add hue/ saturation.
Then, go to effect > distort > select mesh warp to create the shape of
fire
Next, change setting in Unsharp mask
Step 11- Go back to main layer, in effect > stylize >
select glow
Then change the setting in glow and duplicate glow for fire effect.
Glow 2 will look like this.
Glow 3 will look like this.
Step 12- Go back to main fire layer and do duplicate 2 time then, the blending
mode and size
In the last you can change the setting little bit like change the shape, color,
& key frame setting according to you and according to your work.
There are many more special effects that you can create in this motion graphics software. So, do you want to master this software? Then go for Adobe After Effects course at Delhi's best video editing and post production training institute that is ADMEC Multimedia Institute.
