How to Burn Down a House Using Stock Footage in After Effects

[@SkiMaskBros101]

Your voice soothes my soul Rodolphe

[@GlamourSwinexXx]

You should narrate every tutorial video. Ever. Great stuff!!

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hey, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GeorgeLaird]

really like this tutorial, lots of helpful advice on getting the best from Action VFX products in your projects

[@red_alert]

Really great 😀 would love to see a tutorial using your explosions, you know with the smoke, debris and all, etc. Keep up the outstanding fiery work 👍🏽👏🏽😀

[@ActionVFXofficial]

An explosion tutorial is next on our list!

[@cheroki11]

Great tutorial, flame was really realistic and final composit was brilliant.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you very much!! :)

[@VideoByJer]

Great stuff, really had to take a good look in the beginning to see that it wasnt actually a real fire. Explained it all very well. Would like to see a continuation though on what other minor detils you could do like shimmering on the glossy stair railing, overall glow flicker intensity, smoke, etc.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hey thanks! If you ever need specific help on those details you mentioned, feel free to let us know and we'll do our best to help.

[@GeorgeLaird]

great tutorial, lots of good tips on compositing

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you George!

[@rreinhard43]

Thank you for your tuitorial and not being so expedient. I'm not an expert in After Effects so I require more input. Must say, I'm impressed with the quality of your photos you have for sale, better than Video Copilot, opps! Wish you would provide more tuitorials. I am trying to make my kitten roar like Godzilla and shoot fire directly at the spectator.

[@easypnetwork8138]

thanks for sharing. the final results were brilliant.

[@Comedyschule]

Awesome

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vivekdornal8012]

AWESOME TUTORIAL... thank you!

[@LesHenderson]

Add my kudos to the mix. I'm tempted to use some puns that use flaming and hot but will refrain from doing so. I now see that just having the fire stock footage is but a small part of achieving realism. Your tutes are value added to my purchase and will hopefully ensure I don't just slap on flames without consideration of the many other factors needed. I'll be tempted though.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Haha, thanks Les! Yea, there's always more work involved than simply "dragging and dropping" stock footage if you want great results.

[@denisfilming]

A great complement to structure fire would be structure smoke. Imagine a scene where flames cannot be seen yet, and heavy dark smoke is just rampant everywhere, following the (top) contours of door frames and windows, or emanating from under the door, or cracks in a wall...that sort of thing. For sure this can be faked with other smoke assets, but nothing beats the real thing. I would definitely add this to my collection.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

That's a great idea! Thank you!

[@KevinGPalencia]

Great tutorial! Too bad we have to buy the fire elements though...

[@flatearthreality8683]

well done man

[@benwoodbridge765]

[@ActionVFXofficial]

[@海天林星]

[@midotvadventure504]

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hello! The fire elements are available for purchase here: www.actionvfx.com/collections/structure-fire-stock-footage

[@jakeEDITsyt]

can you please make a tutorial on how to make your fire look more realistic in after effects

[@VFXProductionsRT]

[@jakeEDITsyt]

yes but can you make a separate tutorial???

[@ActionVFXofficial]

We should have more fire tutorials in the future!

[@jakeEDITsyt]

thanks : )

[@orangeofficer528]

Where's Casey and Severide when we need them?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

That's a good point. Where are they?!

[@moglitheiceburgYT]

Why is it that when I add elements with the screen blending mode they come out mostly transparent? What am I doing wrong???

[@richardvilchis5408]

Jacob Horenburg try add

[@moglitheiceburgYT]

Richard Vilchis no luck either

[@rahulace8860]

Coooooooooolllll,,, please tell me system requirements , my system getting hang because its just have 4gb ram

[@jakeEDITsyt]

the free smoke plumes dont work for me even when i use keylight to get rid of the white backround do you know how i can fix this???

[@ActionVFXofficial]

I wouldn't use Keylight to get rid of the white background. Just use the Blending Mode "Multiply".

[@jakeEDITsyt]

so to use the blending mode multiply do i search it in effects and presets???

[@MrBurrellKobe]

Is there anyone out there that can shoot a short music video doing this?

[@gejiesoo9628]
