Muzzle Flares
Our first tutorial is kind of required viewing so see this first!
We reveal a couple of more techniques – basic masking, adding glow to blend flares into the environment better, and basic shells.
MOTION BLUR SHUTTER ANGLE CONVERSION
Frame rate is how many frames per second your camera records. Shutter speed is how long, in seconds, those individual frames are recorded at. So if you shoot 24 frames per second, the maximum your shutter speed could be is 1/24th of a second.
Here’s the shutter speed/degrees conversion for 24 frames/second (or 23.98 frames/second):
1/24 = 360 degrees
1/48 = 180 degrees
1/60 = 144 degrees
1/100 = 86 degrees
1/200 = 43 degrees
1/500 = 17 degrees
Here’s the shutter speed/degrees conversion for 30 frames/second:
1/30 = 360 egrees
1/60 = 180 degrees
1/100 = 108 degrees
1/200 = 54 degrees
1/500 = 22 degrees
Or use this formula:
(Shutter Speed) / (1/frame rate) * 360
So for above, if we’re shooting 1/60th of a second at 24 frames per second, it would be:
(1/60) / (1/24) * 360 = 144 degrees

Very nice tips, I never thought about adding glow to the muzzle flares, but it does look like it helps. The shutter speed conversions are also very helpful.
I dont kno if my camera has shutter speed, help to find out?
do you mean adjustable shutter speed? all cameras have shutter speed. whether it’s adjustable or not is probably what you’re looking for. do you have the manual? can you look it up online if you don’t?
are there really going to be 12 days of vfx
Hey I am a few months into video production, it’s a slow start but it’s getting faster lol, and i was wondering, I have call of duty for PC (get the jokes out now) and with cod world at war comes the mod tools. the thing i like best about the mod tools is that i can make a black map perfect for keying out muzzle flashes, and i have used them on some of my videos, i was wondering how they looked if anybody wanted to view them and give me some pointers, thanks!
what editing program is this?
Great tutorial, but i have one question, what’s the name of this software about you are talking at the begining \raw mask shape\ or something like that, cuz i can’t find it ; )
