    Hi, I finaly have time to improve my video editing skills, and I have question.
    Is it posible to make fire like 1:28 in post production

    As we all know, a lot people cant purchase or rent that kind of things, and will be cool if it is posible that can make like that in post proces.

    Also, I find a lot of footage of fire on web, stock footage, but nothing similar, that come from side or bottom, and stays all the way, always some explosion in stock footage I find. 🙁

    For realistic fire you need to use stock footage or create your own- although if you do not have experience with this I would not recommend doing this alone. Get a firefighter to help.
    The other issue in making this realistic is the light reflections- hard to create that in post.
    However if you’re going for all AE here’s a search you can do:
