    Hello,

    How is this done? The first seconds of the video show these awesome transitions from one layer to another. Is this some complex masking? Or can you use some middle layer footage (like a white paper being ripped up on a black background) and then using blending modes (alpha, luma, etc) to achieve this effect?

    Thanks in advance!

    It looks like they filmed cigarette paper over a different colored background, or similar, being burned and then just keyed out the changes and time remapped.

    I appears they used a mask consisting of simple film melting/burning effect as the mask (as would appear in the days when a film projector would freeze and the heat from the bulb would melt the film) … then added color/hue/tint/contrast changes … they also seemed to have reversed the order in a few transitions.
