Noel is an artist. His tutorials and templates are simply amazing. Here he makes the best fire available in AE I've ever seen without plug-ins -- all in AE. His space effects are stunning.
Thanks Noel. Thanks for actually teaching instead of just playing music and hoping people will understand visually. Although I'm mostly a visual learner, tutorials are best when tge creator uses a combination of auditory and visual learning. The auditory actually explains what is happening amd even why. And the visual information backs that up. There are so many tutorials but they lack a teaching element. I'd sat you're good enough of a teacher to run a course on Pluralsight or LinkedIn Learning. Believe me when I say this is a big compliment. RUclips lacks teachers. Thank you for teaching. 2nd of all. There are many RUclips tutorials that are not so fundamental as you would like. No one needs to shoot fire from their hands or bring in a video of a video already made. Masking is a small tutorial in itself. It all starts with a no-frill fundamental understanding of creating fire inside AE and have fire fill your screen. That od basically what you just taught. Then once you have a basic understanding of creating fire with particle systems than you can go on to other techniques and compare other tutorials to reach your own solution. For example, some teaching to use a displacement Map and fractal noise instead of turbulent displacement. But it all starts with creating the basic of basics. And that's wgat you did. Yes, you used alot of filters. But it's not super hard to understand. After doing so many RUclips searches on fire in AE, I think yours should be placed as the top video for creating fundamental fire in AE. In fact, your video came up in the algorithm, not my RUclips searches. P.S. You are the first actual person named Noel, not as in Noelle. But an actual Nole, as in Nole. Why is your name cool? Noel is a character in one of my video games Noel Kreiss from Final Fantasy XIII-2. Usually Final Fantasy characters have names that kind of sound like names but are slightly off. There is no one named Bartz but there are people named Bart. And while Celes is a name, Celeste is the preferred spelling, not Celes. Just like Noel Kreiss (Nole Christ) sounds like it should be Noelle Kress. But that is good to know that Noel (saud like Nole) is a real given name.
It's a real name, but definitely not common. I've run into a few Noel's in my lifetime, and the lead singer of Oasis is Noel Gallagher. Anyway, thanks for the kind comment. I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful.
My heart literally sank when you stopped in the middle of it being done and was like ok thanks for watching heres your fire lol thank sweet baby Jesus you were just kidding 😅 but on a serious note thank you so much this helped a ton! Loved how you get straight to the point and didnt go over every single little detail about every setting you used. Really appreciate it!!!
If you have just one layer, you can add a Transform effect, and scale it down with that. Or with multiple layers, precompose them (select layers, go to Layer, then Precompose, and "Move all attributes to composition".
Since it's procedural, you should be able slow it down with the time effects in After Effects. Precompose the whole comp, then add a Time Stretch or Time Remapping to the layer.
I think if you bring your fire comp into a new comp, so that it's all on one layer, and then add a Time Stretch, it should be able to smoothly slow it down, since everything is done procedurally. But I feel if it's too slow, the imperfections become more noticeable, and it starts to look less realistic.
Thanks. There's no easy way. I think I would probably render 2 or 3 fire movies of different widths, then bring them into After Effects and composite them onto the letters, using masks to control where they show up. Of course, then you might as well use stock footage of fire. I did create a Fire-Text effect for another template, where you just type out the text and it's on fire, but I think I used some different techniques than here. You can see it in the animated GIF, here: creationeffects.com/creation-title-effects.html
I think you're asking, why did I have the "Displacement" property set to "Turbulent" instead of setting it to "Vertical Displacement". It's because I want both horizontal and vertical displacement, not just vertical. But I want that displacement to move upward, hence the expression. I could move it upward with keyframes as well, but I prefer expressions.

Wow, thank you, Nick!
You see? When something works, it works... 8 years and counting... Thank you!
7 years later and this tut is still fire.

Really really helpful. Thanks a lot

Sorry to make your heart sink. Glad I could help though!
Fantastic tutorial, terrific teacher, great sense of humour -- thanks Noel.
Thanks, glad to help!
Also learned how to do fairy dust, thanks!
This tutorial is great thanks so much noel
Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much.
Excellent Tutorial
superb & so helpful
Thank you Sir!!
Fire... Yeah!!! 🤟🤟🤟
sir, can u pls tell me how to remove that black BG, ive tried blending it but no luck
The best way is a Shift Channels effect, with "Take Alpha From" set to "Luminance". You may need to add a Matte Choker effect to soften the edges.
great dvd fr. now how do I scale it down
If you have just one layer, you can add a Transform effect, and scale it down with that. Or with multiple layers, precompose them (select layers, go to Layer, then Precompose, and "Move all attributes to composition".
this fire is so cool ;)
Fantástico !!!
great tutorial thanks... How can I make it go slow? like slow motion?
Since it's procedural, you should be able slow it down with the time effects in After Effects. Precompose the whole comp, then add a Time Stretch or Time Remapping to the layer.
Thanks

Excellent Tutorial. Does anyone have any insights on how to slow the flames? They seem too "spastic" for my taste.
I think if you bring your fire comp into a new comp, so that it's all on one layer, and then add a Time Stretch, it should be able to smoothly slow it down, since everything is done procedurally. But I feel if it's too slow, the imperfections become more noticeable, and it starts to look less realistic.
Thanks! I'll give that a try and finesse it.
Time Stretch worked! About 500% and the result was slow enough without making it too low-quality. Thanks again!
0:40 did you show how to do this one? that one looks amazing
I don't show how to do it, but it's included in the template.
Sir really thank you so much for this . itz superb sir :-)
I used this and it worked great, looks realistic, but upon rendering it says it'll take... 13 hours to render. What can I do to fix this??
Hmm, did you set the out-point for your render area, so it doesn't render the entire comp?
@@creationeffects Thank you so much! I'll make sure I did that!
awesome guys thanks
Great tutorial Noel Thanks. Is there a way to add this effect to text? If so, do you have a tutorial for that?
Thanks. There's no easy way. I think I would probably render 2 or 3 fire movies of different widths, then bring them into After Effects and composite them onto the letters, using masks to control where they show up.

You rock. Thank you.
You're quite welcome. Glad you liked it.
If i uncheck change Alpha, it just gets more white and blurry. Help!
I would need some more details. I don't remember any checkbox named "Change Alpha".
On 7th minute why don't you set "vertical" in Turbulent displacement but use expressions?
I think you're asking, why did I have the "Displacement" property set to "Turbulent" instead of setting it to "Vertical Displacement". It's because I want both horizontal and vertical displacement, not just vertical. But I want that displacement to move upward, hence the expression. I could move it upward with keyframes as well, but I prefer expressions.
Ok. I understand. After my comment I tried to use "vertical" and noticed that it's not the same. Your method is better.
which vearsion is this
I used CC 2015, but I believe it will work in CS5 and up.
Creation Effects I followed your steps in cc17 and I did it. I am really happy. Thank you bro And keep moving on
i really like the mid part jokes xD
not so realistic at all. a real flame looks better and keep more smooth similar to example number 6 but i think is good for after effects
