After Effects: Brainzout (1 of 2)

[NickSandlinTV]

I have CS5 and the blood spats i got from there stay white and when i choose screen on blending mode it just lightens it so much to where the blood isn't visible anymore. I do the same thing with muzzle flashes and it works out great! Please help.

@NickSandlinTV Yeah, screen works better with things like muzzle flashes. You might just duplicate the footage, that sometimes works. Color burn might be an option too.

I've watched part 1 and part 2 of this tutorial and it's a great tutorial. If there was a little more blood, shell ejection and a little blowback on the gun. This effect would be 100%. Great job.

@narutoboy073

Right click on the blood layer -> go to "Blending mode -> then Multiply

This is for CS3

spread the word on Detonation Films. They are the best!!

[WhiteRice187]

i tried to do the multiply layer on a detonation film clip that is black and i cant get the background to go away, it worked on the white backgroounds tho. Any suggestions?

[MachProductions94]

great technique

but I think the blood could be darkened a little to make it a little more convincing

[RoxFoxFilms]

I did multiply, but it won't work!

Any Help?

[BecauseWeCanFilms]

Thank you very much for this tutorial! I have been wondering what blending mode to use with Detonation Film's blood. Chroma Keying, Screen, everything, but you solved my problem!

[A2Alegends]

idk how to multiply, to make the white go away

???????

[simonsaysfx]

In the Timeline panel is the Modes column. If you can't see it, right click on the title bar for the Timeline panel and choose Columns > Modes. Set the Mode for the relevant layer (dropdown, should be 'normal' by default) to Multiply. Done!

I've just started using After Effects, and I must say that all of your tutorials are excellent!
