  Hey –

  anyone know if creating realistic muzzle flashes (gun shots from small caliber handguns) is something that can be done in Motion?

  Thanks.

  Hey Spak,

  While you can certainly try to roll your own, using shapes and gradients, I’ve gotten good use out of both Artbeats’ Gun Stock footage <https://www.artbeats.com/prod/product.php?pg=1&id=165> and DigiEffects Delerium’s Muzzle Flash filter <https://www.digieffects.com/products.shtml#DELIRIUM> .

  The biggest challenge with digital gunfire, assuming that it’s not in broad daylight, is faking the light flash on the surrounding objects. Some diligent roto and color correction can get you a long way on that stuff. Good luck!

  Also the Motion collection from Particle illusion has some great muzzle effects.
