636_Castle Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I'm working on a little film of my own, and I'm really trying push my editing skills to the max this time. What I have is a scene with a jet flying overhead and away from the viewpoint, then climbing upward and out of the shot. I'm trying to add an exhaust/smoke like effect similar to what you'd see after a sudden power change behind it. Sadly, I don't have the patience to "RTFM", and my brain is already worked enough during the day. Luckily schooling gives me permission to use Sony Vegas and After Effects. When it comes to Vegas, I'm somewhat knowledgeable at making a film "look cool", but I'm absolutely terrible at creating special effects that aren't already part of the film. What can you experts tell me about creating that exhaust effect? I'm not Glowing Amraam. That guy is the real deal. I just need a little tutorial/plugin/tool/probably many other things to give me some cool after effects on top of the footage. I'd be more than happy to give anyone who can help a section in the credit roll :) FEEL the awesome power of what after effects can do: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] How To Fix Your X-52's Rudder!

159th_Viper Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 WTH? I've seen this vid more than one year ago, I could swear! Correct - from 2007, authored by nellen_mellen http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=348393&postcount=1 In any event - I think the confusion stems from people assuming that 636_Castle produced the clip. Rather, after reading his post, it's clear that he is using the clip as an example of the effect he is possibly after and not passing the work off as his own ;) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Bucic Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 I'm too old to read topics through and trough and that it was my initial impression ;) @ 636_Castle At airspeeds (assuming - high) presented in the video you've embedded there should be no heat blur effects at all!
