How to make a muzzle flash in Pinnacle Studio 14.
Things needed: Pinnacle Studio,
a picture of a muzzle flash,
a gun sound effect,
a smoke clip (not necessarily),
Red Giant plugin Knoll Light Factory (not necessarily)

I got my smoke and muzzle flash from Corridor Digital's After Effects Muzzle Flash tutorial:

Also watch my short action scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEfH8VjInRQ

Music: Cage the Elephant: Ain't no rest for the wicked, Johnny Cash: God's gonna cut you down.

  • Hey dude nice tutorial! :)

    I have one question.....

    I did the exact same thing that you did with the smoke and the flare.

    When i play it on the timeline it works, but then when i finally publish it as a mp4 or AVI file the part till the video where i shoot works but then just before the smoke works then it freezes. when i remove the smoke the flare works just fine as a published video.

    Can you help me out?

    I use Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate.

    thank you so much! :)

  • @THEMASKEDDRUMMER1 Thanks!

    But I never had that problem, so unfortunately I don't know how to fix it.

    The only thing I could comu up with is that maybe you didn't let Pinnacle render the video out in the timeline?

    Because if you didn't there is a chance that the publishing doesn't work well either. It should be like that, but it's just one of those little Pinnacle Studio errors.

  • @severaleffects oh yeah! i realised that the rendering line was still green! I let it render and now it works fine! :)

    Thanks so much!

  • @THEMASKEDDRUMMER1 You're welcome :)

  • Very nice, man. But how do you import the .MOV clips into PS?

  • @Codex1 Which clip do you mean?

see all

  • I am new to this software so don't make fun of me, but how did you get the few second video of the smoke?
