adding fx to clips eg, particle illusion

[garjobo]

Particle Illusion - where you can add some neat effects like fireworks, explosions etc to video - is pretty expensive..well it was back when I downloaded the trial years back..6yrs ago I think. Lovely programme though.

I want to add some explosions etc to my VS projects...does anyone have another programme they can recommend?

Price always an issue...I recall particle illusion being in the £100's..but that was years back..

Have you checked out Digital Juice. They have some fantastic effects including explosions and fires. I saw just a few days ago an email from them advertising lifetime membership for US$99. I didn't keep the email as I am already a member, but you might want to check digitaljuice.com to see if they are still advertising it there.

Thanks once again Ken for your reply, will check that out, although any price is too much! yes, i was something for free!!!

Well, a few quid is ok...i will give it a look though.

thanks again

Try a Google search as well as one within You Tube while not forgetting to add the word "free".
I have collected many effects including explosions from there.
"free explosion effect" will get you a couple off You Tube with download links to get the file.
