I see way too many badly done muzzle flash effects on YouTube to not want to do this basic Visual Effects 101 tutorial. And this video will show you how :) Compositing the layers for a realistic muzzle flash It is really not hard to add a few layers onto your scene to create great looking gun fire. Of course, these are not hard set rules so experiment if something doesn’t seem to fit right – to me, that is always the most fun part anyways :) To create this effect, you will have to composite a number of layers.

#REBASLIGHT MUZZLE 720P#
I really love the Action Esssentials 2 package from VideoCopilot and for $99 for the 720p version, I highly recommend it. However, you can also find free action stock footage just by searching on google :) It’s filled with pre keyed stock footage and I use it almost daily. Here’s a useful link to free stock footage from detonation films.Īnyways, take and position a muzzle flash element on top of your base footage. Next, add another solid colour layer to simulate the light emitting from the muzzle flash. Set it to a colour that is very similar to the muzzle flash and change the blend mode to additive.
Just putting a solid layer over everything does look pretty crappy. If there was a real muzzle flash in the scene, only the elements facing the front of the gun would be lit. The color and textures can probably be re-used from muzzle flash.
It can be installed on any modern Windows platform in under a minute, without making any complex configurations.
#REBASLIGHT MUZZLE SOFTWARE#
The software is free to try, without any noticeable functionality restrictions. Once you’re done, your shot should look something like this: We can simulate this by applying some masks and cutting out only the areas that would directly be hit by the light. Probably need to draw/rotoscope the shape and direction of the explosion. Muzzle Flash Make your gun shots look real. You can add lightning, muzzle flashes and even lightsabers to your videos without any effort. It’s not bad, but I personally find that using a simple overlay layer to simulate the muzzle flash light sits very unnaturally on top of our footage rather than in the scene.
We can make this look a lot more natural with a technique I described in my After Effects – Natural Lighting VFX Using Mattes tutorial: by creating a matte layer.
