Trying to create a burning effect on video
Hello Creative Cow,
Let me start out by saying i don’t know much about AE, I’m new to working with it and have only done basic things with it. I am working with AE 9 is CS4.
I’m trying to create an effect that essentially burns up the video as if you lit the corner of a piece of paper and the fire engulfs it from right to left.
So far I have added the CCBlobbylize effect which I like and has given me the kind of disintegration look that you would see when burning a piece of paper.
Then i also created some fire using the fractal noise effect but my problem is it just looks cheesy. Ideally i would like to just figure out a way to incorporate fire on the edges of the Blobbylize effect instead of an entire layer of fire under my video. Does anyone know how I would be able to achieve this look? I saw the creating fire tutorial using fractal noise but that tutorial is for a still image. I’m trying to add something like that but have it move with my blobbylize edges. Thank you in advance for any insight.

You don’t even need to search the tutorials; there’s a whole section (link on the right of the tutorials page) dedicated to fire. Including this old-school one using Fractal Noise. (When I say “old-school”, I mean it uses AE version 5.5 – CS5 is actually version 10)

Sorry, I see that you already found the Bonanza tutorial.
Is there any reason you can’t shoot actual fire? It’s way more fun and way more realistic.

I have live action fire but i don’t know how to manipulate it and have it “burn up” the video so i thought i would be able to do it AE.
