How to Add Stock Fire Footage to your Hitfilm Express Project!

[@ZephyrTac]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! That smallest detail of changing the blend to add helped me so much! I had been searching for a video like this foe a long time.

[@HitfilmSensei]

Glad to hear it!

[@slapout7]

It amazes me how much you are able to work into a short video! And I like how you tell us what buttons your are pressing. Thanks.

I love your tutorials! Please also do a tutorial about the teal and orange color grading or cinematic color gradings ☺️

[@HitfilmSensei]

I will put it on my list!

[@adriangeicu]

awsome!

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thank you! I do believe that as of the release of the video, the stock footage that I used (along with 24 others including smoke, sparks, and explosions) are still available at the link in the description above!

[@Rjstubbs]

Was thinking of doing (or trying to) this exact effect the other day. Perfect timing, haha! Question though... When you do the first couple snaps and the fire doesn't lite, I was thinking of adding sparks. Would it be better to splice the footage during those snaps and track it separately?

[@HitfilmSensei]

Sparks is a good idea... I wish I had thought of that! I think since sparks quick fire out from the source, I doubt you will need to track anything. Instead, just place the sparks footage on the spot where they would emulate. The Hitfilm video giveaway includes stock footage of smoke, fire, explosions, and, yes, sparks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKLcfZSCaZiqodk

[@Rjstubbs]

Awesome! Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. Already have the stock footage giveaway. I grab all the free footage I can find! =)

[@HitfilmSensei]

I agree! That is on the list for the developers to add. Hopefully they will!

[@tillhenkel6219]

I have a question... When I mask something out a person for example. Is there any way to keep the original background visible?

[@HitfilmSensei]

Till Henkel Yes... but you will need to have a clean plate.
