film burning
Hi everyone
I’m a newbie with AFX. I would like to create the effect of an old film getting burnt. Two little
holes which get bigger and spread across the screen, no flames. I’ve been taking a look at
the “bonanza look” tutorial here at creative cow and it’s close but not quite there. A bit difficult too.
Is there any other easier way to accomplish this effect or failing that a plugin?thanks in advance.

Depends how real you want it. If you really want it authentic (outside of making a film print and letting it sit in a projector) is to buy a stock clip of a film burn. A lot of times these will come with it’s own matte. You can use that matte not only as a track matte on your own footage, but blur it and use it as a displacement map as well so the edges distort the image as it disinigrates.

Stylize > CC Film Burn
Or
Animate two Oval Masks on the layer
Oval Mask Tool
“M” reveals the Masks, keep twirling down.
Set Masks set to Subtract (or whatever combo you need to get two or more black ovals)
Then keyframes for Mask Expansion (makes it grow or shrink) and Mask feather to soften edge. To get irregular Expansion you’ll need to keyframe mask shape (moving vertices or Double Click and tranform like in PhotoShop) or Roughen Edges.
I like adding Stylize > Roughen Edges (Edge type: Roughen or Roughen Color to get a little glowing edge (choose color you like).

And a litte Stylize . C Glass if you want some bubbling action.

thanks, It seems a good solution to me but I don’t seem to have that CC Burn Film effect
in the effect list. Do I have to have an special copy of AFX for it? I’m using AFX 7.0 by the way -
They’re on your install disk. Look under the Cycore folder. There are tons of plug-ins for you. Also in the Synthetic Aperture folder you can install Color Finesse.
The CC (Cycore) effects are the same as the old Final Effects that used to be tons o’ money.
