I don't ever leave comments but I learned SO much from this video. I've been using After Effects for over a decade and I learned things in this video that I never knew. Great job Visionary Fire!
If anyone's coming here in 2022, the only obsolete blur I found for the effect at 12:05 is called Gaussian Blur (Legacy).
New to this channel and I have to say, the realism of this effect is mindblowing! Hard to believe you created this digitally even though I just watched you do it.
An After Effects fire tutorial with no third-party plugins? DUDE! Where have you been all my life?!
Totally lost my eyes for bad quality 🤦🏻♀️😁😂 He is like: little bit like that, little bit like this, and I'm like: where? I can't even see anything.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am part of a team making a student film with a hearth as the film's centerpiece, and this really saved the day! I learned so many cool ways to use expressions and masking thanks to this video!
one of the best channels out there for seeking advanced level of after effect
Think this is the most detaild after effects tutorial (which you can actually follow the steps) that I came across on youtube. Good job man.
Let me know if I can help more
Now, picture a 2020 update of this in high resolution and dubble the length of the tutorial 🔥
(I prefer speeding up/jumping forward myself when suitable, and when not: I'd like to have it all in the video, no speeding up nor cutting out)
I opened After Effects for the first time at 9AM, by 1PM I had a working flame FX for my trailer. I have a small working knowledge of Illustrator and Premiere, and a decent amount of Photoshop knowledge... but this was the first time I've ever used After Effects, and this tutorial was detailed enough to get me to where I wanted to be. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for posting. Fantastic result! You get right to it and motor along at a good pace. A couple times I had difficulty seeing what you clicked with the 480p resolution, but I figured it out.
seriously awesome tutorial, man. god, so many years of trying to achieve decent-looking fire with particular and all i needed was turbulent noise and displace this whole time.
Yeah, you can actually create a very similar fire look with particular. Just create one of those fluid simulations I covered in another video here on the channel and from there, add texture with fractal noise and a few of the other adjustments like we made in this video and you can get a pretty sweet result! :)
You are a genius, thank you.
Another video for you my Wizard: ruclips.net/video/MUPkK4r-M-c/видео.html
I see every comment popup up on my youtube phone notifications.

You know what would be a great addition to this video? Or another video. A tutorial on how to make the fire light interact/bounce off of objects, like a wall. Adds a whole new level of realism.
Really great work!
As always, your tutorials are awesome. I've learned so much from you and will continue to do so! I tell as many people as I can about your awesome channel and style of teaching.
My one piece of feedback: The vid being at 480 is really difficult.
Thank you for saying that. I agree with Chipp, this video is genius; however it can be hard to follow along at 480.
Question.
If you use an adj.layer with set matte, over the flame, and use the separation layer as mat, won't you get the effect you need, but without the solid layer?
And with this you can have it as transparent, and everything bellow will show, while now you need the black background?
Finally, someone else who's OBSESSED with fire!!!
[ User tip: If you can't find "Mask Reference" under "Compositing Options" then click the little plus sign to the right of it :) ]
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, Lendon, I know there's a lot of out-of-the-box plugin stuff out there but it's cool (and very flexible) to make fire from scratch. Much appreciated x
You made an amazing job! I think this is the best video teaching about making fire from scratch in After Effects. You've made history, son. Thank you.
You know the best part is the Interstellar music.. it really adds to the immersion of learning hahah thank you so much
Dude I was able to use Curves to color grade the Fire element perfectly. Thank you Lendon!
jesus these videos have had an amazing step up in quality... great work.. i will be following your tutorials now that i know about you!
Using AE since 2001, version 5. Seen a lot of things, did a lot. This is impressive.
From a Veteran: Very nice and creative work!!! You problem solving skills proof that you looked under AEs skirt more than once.
Dude, you are a prodigy. Don't worry about the 480p, although it's not ideal, you can still do the tutorial just fine. Thanks for the awesome tutorials, and hope you keep at it!
Thanks, man! I think I remember one of your comments on another one of my videos. Your picture is familiar. Thanks again!
Great stuff!
FYI at 10:08 you cut out adding a feather to the grey solid before you precomposed it!
you save my time like magic , thx cap
That is exactly that one thing that I was missing.Total beginners really need everything step by step :D
Thanks! There was something wrong with this step.
oh hey... 👋 I'm late to this party hahaa
I really want to thank you for this video. It's been my challenge as a AE beginner...and I did it. Really happy and awesome effect!! Thank you.
Hey! This is WAY better than the first fire tutorial! I was getting lost the first time, but now not only did I follow along, but the effect turned out great! Thanks, man!
worked on mine for about 2 hours and its looking insane! Thanks for the tutorial :))
You might want to change your Y calculation to (time*1800 % 33000)*-1 rather than time*-1800. It appears that AE has a limit of 33000 - -33000 for the y offsets
Beautiful, man. Did this tutorial for something Im working on. Fire in AE has always been difficult for me to simulate, but this does a great job. I actually prefer the look of your last tutorial for more stylized fire, but this can easily be tooled for a similar effect. Thank you!!
amazing tutorial, this helps out in so many different ways. You can even make the smoke yourself with all
the techniques you showed. Again Amazing!
Perfect, without 3rd party plugins! thank you!
Best fire animation tutorial out there, but next time upload it in 1080 please! haha
Amazing video really taught us ALOT MORE than just a simple fire effects, showing us LOADs of fundamentals and I love this video thank you so much
Creating an Adjustment Layer is Ctrl+Alt+Y btw if anyone else had a hard time understand his "Ctrl+Shrimp+Y"
You did the fire as a "sim", and brought in stock blurred sparks and smoke. That's nuts. I learnt some techniques, and I thank you for that. But that made me lol, if you're bringing in elements just buy some fire. ;)
After years of AE.. I wasnt aware of the new options to mask effects directly! Thanks!
Entertained we are! Excellent work. Thank you.
you can make another flame layer and make it more intense just above the star and add slightly more redish glow behind and around the edges ,will give it some nice details .
but it's awesome man keep up the good work ★
Can u make a fire tornado !?
you know similar to the one in "into the storm "movie as ur the master of fire tutorials .
I don't know, I'll have to try it out.
i dont know how did you manage to figure this all out, amazing thanks!
my god .... awesome! Keep on studying and maybe I'll be able to follow you along on this fire tutorial. Thanks!!
Very nice. Great explanation of your steps.
Good effects. Thank you for the links 👍
Hi ! I was doing the tutorial, everything was perfect, and then at 10:31 I couldn't do anything... The flames never work...
This is pretty extraordinary actually!
Thanks thanks thanks!
Very clear and easy to understand! Awesome tutorial! Thank you !!!!
Hi! There is things that are cut out 18:44. What have you added there? The effect changes.
Wow that’s very realistic!
14:28
Ah yes, CTRL+s҉̧̕̕h̕͢͟ń̡͜a̵̢r̵̷̷̡͝+Y
lol it was 'CTRL+ALT+Y' He says Alternate really fast lmao
I thought I was having a stroke for a second there
Much better than the other tutorial!
Absolutely great! CC particle world is great and easy for fire particles. Looks just wonderfull. Subbed.
Respect dude. This is looking very real. Thumps up for sure
that was so great but what about fire starting? you know like one super hero start a fire in his hand ,did you find a way to do that?
Yeah, it would probably be best to use stock footage or a 3d fire simulation. I'm sure it is possible using this method though, just not the best way.
I'm guessing if someone want's to create stylized fire a good route would be to make the displacement map with a higher contrast level?
Another great tutorial. I greatly appreciate touching on the techniques for masking with older versions of After Effects (especially since there are a lot of us who still use CS6). I'd like to see a conversion for the fire sim tutorial or at least something like that if possible. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Cool thanks. Yeah, I wish I could convert the project file. The only way really would be for me to install CS6 and re-create the effect.
You had me at "prpbably not" :D Awesome video!
I like your tutorials, Lendon Bracewell
great tutorial dude. learned new thing about masking out effects thanks😃
Glad you learned something!
Is there a text document with all the steps written out?
seriously man, ur skills are amazing.. nice one man
Duuuuuude, amazing that you made it really better than before !
And the 4 bad quotes 😂😂😂 Loool ^^ for the guys who gave bad quote - don't cry, deinstall AE !
You're the man.
Great video - thanks!
Keep it up! I really like your tuts, easy AND effective at the same time :D
Glad you enjoy the hard work! :)
thanks for redoing it because I couldn't follow after the first few seconds
dude, you are killing it! probably the best fire made from fractal noise i have ever seen! how old are you btw ?
Thanks Samrat! I'm 18 now.
Yay your alive!
Nice Video BTW
Could you kindly explain when your creating the first step with the star, when you use title/action safe, how your background turns to transparency and then to black?
Im trying to figure that out right now lol. Did you figure it out?
Great tutorial!
Hey man, great stuff! I also added some evolution to the fractal noises, to add a little more dynamic movement
We have a new Andrew Kramer right here! Wish I discovered your channel earlier. Love your tutorials bro
Glad you love it!!!
Hey Lendon I subscribed to your channel, your tutorials are great.
Thanks !!!
cool...you are a wizard!
best tutorial bout fire ever!!! thanks so much.
You are welcome. Glad you found it helpful!
Hey how about a smoke simulation or an explosion? Is there any chance you'll do one?
this was an amazing and really helpful tutorial. helped me with a school project that is turning out amazing! Thank you so much!
Thanks man, i learnt something today :)
This tutorial is FIRE!
This was the most amazing thing i have ever seen
Awesome ideas man. How would you make the flame appear reacting to some wind? Flowing to the side. With some liquefy effect or maybe something else?
This really is an amazing tutorial, but with having it be 480p on top of the very fast mumbling every so often, its pretty difficult to follow along.
Can I create a scene were this star looking object is burning in flames and my model is standing right next to it in a dark room and his face is visible due to the light coming from the flame?
Inshort can I create a fake lighting with this flames all around the stars?
Awesome tutorial! Thank you
vfx king! subscribed
thanks alot man, such a gem of a video!
Looks gret, but i have a hard time doing the tutorial with 480p as a lot is barely visible like text etc
Nice work bro. Thank you for the files too. I owe you one!
Great Tutorial. How do you make one against a transparent background? When the solid composite layer is added, i get a black background
having the same problem
so it's a bit late to tell you this now, but this is more for anyone in future whos wondering:
to get a transparent background but still make the separation what i did was get rid of the solid composite layer he makes, put the 'separation layer' right above your base flame layer and change the mode to 'silhouette luma', add an invert channel to the separation layer and that should do the trick.
Hope this helps anyone
@@BoyPorcelain love you man!! like really thanks for this!
Awesome thank you so much i really need this!!!!!
Your welcome and thank you!
Hey, can you do a visually pleasing portal effect? like in Film Riot's portal combat? i tried downloading the project files when i used to use Hitfilm but now i can't replicate it or install Hitfilm.
I really really loved the tutorial... but man the resolution of the video sometimes complicates things, still really loved.
Im writng comment just to help you, dude!
Really good job and interesting video! I wish you more good ideas and inspiration for your hard job!
Thanks!!!
Great tutorial, thanks!! Managed to follow along just fine and I definitely learnt a lot!! :D
I want to overlay the flame on some other footage but if I remove the solid composite layer then it all goes to hell with the separation layer. Likewise changing the blending modes just ruins the effect. Any suggestions? Feel like I'm missing something obvious
Do you do these for people? Like if i sent a picture/logo for my band. Could you animate it on fire for me?? We need this kind of effect for promo purposes
Sure, shoot me an email at visionarylen@hotmail.com
This is an awesome tutorial! Thanks!
how can i do the separate flame thing if i need the background to be transparent?
Jesuss that looks excellent damn
Was there a way to make this loop?
this was awesome. Great job
Dangpretty good for basic fire effects but I do see one problem witch is movement won’t make the fire naturally bend without animating the mask or using the puppet tool witch is a benefit of using some sort of particle systems I figured out a way to do smoke in after effects using the particle system might be able to pull it off with after effects particles
Hey I love how you think! Check out the updated fire simulation technique! visionaryfire.com/resources
He: We will make it a lot sharper! Lets feather it! xD
Grande bro very powerful tutorial
