in ur gunz 1 movie at 2:40, you had a big gun that fired a rocket. it had a trail of fire, and it kinda curved a bit and exploded. i can do the explosion part (thanx) but i was wondering how to do the whole trail of fire and rocket thing.

btw how are things goin. the forum isnt very crouded yet, so ill take advantage of it while i can. ask u Qs b4 you get flooded. hehe

You create the effect with a 3D program, or a particle program such as Particle Illusion. Look at 3D Studio Max for awsome tutorials about how to do this. You can also find other stock footage online. Once I get the time, I will insert a royalty free rocket.

cool, i cant wait for the rocket, but i have a mac, will that software work for a mac?

i found the particles program for mac, but how did you get them from the program to video files?? cause there are like 30 or them and theyre awesoem, but i dont wanna learn how to use particles.
thanx

You should be able to just add a video layer. Look into adding video with the help. Did you download PI?

i downloaded particleillusion SE, and you had 9 or so effects in your download section with stock footage. how did you get the demos from PE into video files?

You have to import the video files into the background. Of course you can chroma key, but inmporting them is much beter.
