Explosion VFX Tutorial

In this VFX tutorial we will show you how to create an extremely realistic explosion using Adobe After Effects and Video Copilot's Action Essentials 2. If you don't have Action Essentials 2 you can use other stock footage that has similar elements to the ones we use in the tutorial.

This tutorial may be over a half our long, but we will explain every single step in great detail so that you can follow it effectively.

I'm only 8:50 in, but I already love this video.

Unlike ANY other tutorials, you let me know what's going on like what your clicking and why.

THANK YOU. If you didn't do any of this, I would've left this video 2 minutes in. <3
