Star animation

I would probably suggest the shockwave tutorial from video co pilot https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/shockwaves/

There are light burst and blur effects that might do what you want, but you’ll have to animate multiple parameters within a couple different effects simultaneously to get that flickering lens flare (or you could just get a lens flare plugin like Optical Flares or Knoll Light Factory).
As to the red, gassy stuff, the shockwave tutorial already suggested would be a good place to start.

Yes it is a supernova that I’m trying to re-create and well my interviewee mentions the supernova and it’s first sightings and that brought me to the conclusion of wanting to show what is being send to have a better understanding.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you as well for the suggestions, I’ll give it a go and get back to you guys. Very helpful.

The shockwave tutorial will probably be useful as others have said. Check this one out from video copilot too. Might help to make the firey part if shockwave doesn’t give you what you’re looking for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff0rdzVROeA

Hello, Thanks! I tried the shockwave tutorial. For some reason the hole is to big. Have any suggestions on how to make it look more like a ball rather than a circle? Thank you!
