Action

A cross-section of the VFX library gathered for action work: missile animations, grenades, building destruction, explosions, fire, dust, blood and henchmen and SWAT characters. Build a whole sequence here without hopping between categories.

Category information

Fire, sparks and fireballs: these give off their own light, so an MP4 on black drops into the shot with Screen or Add.
Dust, debris, blood and characters: solid elements that need real transparency. Take the ProRes alpha, or key the MP4 when its background is green.

Category help

Plan three beats and give each one an element: the setup (a launch or a gunshot), the hit (an explosion), the aftermath (smoke and burning debris).
Elements pulled from different categories rarely match straight away. Grade them all to the same black level and color temperature.
Give big hits physical weight with a short jolt from Camera Shake, timed to the impact frame.
Lay explosion sound effects under every hit, and let the smoke keep drifting as the sound dies away.

15 categories

Action VFX in one place: explosions, missiles, grenades, debris and building destruction for fight, chase and battle scenes.
