where is stock footage

[fxhome]

@9augusta There are many stock footage libraries on the web. We sell some pyrotechnic-themed stock over at the FXhome website. A quick Google will also reveal lots of interesting sources.

Dear FXHome,

When I'm done adding my effects into my scene, how come it makes me render it at a very small size, and with no sound? It won't let me change it.

Thanks.

[fxhome]

@triforceman12 The render uses your project settings, so if it's rendering to a small size it is possible that you set the project up too small. If you have further questions please do submit a support ticket over at the FXhome website.

[fxhome]

@LegoBuilder123 Yes, it does. VisionLab has everything.

[CooookieMonster12]

Sorry to be so stupid but.. when I finished making the energy beam.. what if i made 2 energy beams or more hit each other? will it automatically have the thing between the energy beams?

@ThePopularJerks The software we used for this has now been replaced with HitFilm. Check out the HitFilm dot com website for details.

where can i get theese progs?



[cadester101]

were did you get visionlab studio and for how much pleaase respond

[cmak5]

@coolguyomega are you serious? have you even used WMM? WMM only lets you edit the video, and WMM sucks! buy Sony Vegas Pro 9!

as for the effects, you need fx home, or adobe after effects. personally i think with after effects you can do alot more effects, but fx home is a good way to get yourself started!

[MrLaxdude89]

doesn't help me, because I don't have visionlab, just Effectslab pro + Compositelab pro, so no lightning settings on either :(

[calebhopeman]

@fxhome can you do it on effects lab pro??? if you can make a tutorial for that
