Muzzle Flashes - Sony Vegas Tutorial

A long awaited tutorial. Having had a break from Youtube I have had a look and seen what effects viewers have asked for and a lot wanted a muzzle flash fx.
Although there is no muzzle flash generator in Sony Vegas I have come up with a way to give a half realistic effect.
I am also trying out effectslab pro from FXhome.

They have fully customisable muzzle flashes and great masking tools as well as particle generators for smoke, fire, blood etc and easy to make light sabers/neon effects, colour grading and optic effects.

if you got platinum, search for a gun flash on google. make sure it has a blank background. Chroma key the background out, then use event pan crop to move it around into the right place.
