Instructions for 3rd Comp

Imported an image and Effects-Keying-Luma Key(Key out the white. lining)

Pre-compose this comp twice

set the TrkNat to Luma Matte to make it fade away.

Create an adjustment layer and then Effect-Distort-Displacement map and duplicate the texture comp (renamed displace and the adjustment layer (Displace)

Set Displacement Map to displace layer to offset it (using Max Horizon and Vertical Displacement)

Effect-Distort-Transform-Alt+Click the position and tyoe value+[ and drag your parenting tool to Max Horizon and Vertical Displacement

Place “Transform” above Displacement (this keeps image in place wile displacing)

Create an adjustment layer (named “Blur”)

Go to effect—blur—compound blur (drives how much blur is applied)

duplicate the “Displace” layer (Blur Comp)

Take the original blur comp and set to the copied blur and invert it to give it a smokey effect.

Pre-compose the first comp (original texture comp)

Add a fast blur and turbulance displacement (shrink the size of the turbulance)

Animate the evolution (time*250) Drag blur below turbulance

Create another adjustment layer copy the blur comp (name texture comp)

Set turbulance below texture

Line up texture comp with image and set to luma inverted

Adjust the curve and animate the evolution

Turn blur opacity to 90%

Select turbulance and texture comp and duplicate and alter the setting to get a good blend

New adjustment layer and duplicate texture (rename Hot Stuff) layer amd move below blur above displacement

Alt+drag the ‘’original texture comp” to texture comp 3’’—effect—blur—fast blur—effect—distort—turbulant displace and animate evolution (time*250)

Effect--color correction—colorrama—ramp grey

(on wheel) top(black) bottom (white) left and right (black)

alter blur and select Hot Stuff

effect--color correction—curves adjust curves and tint until you get a firey look and set Luma Matte and Mode to Ad

Another Adjustment Layer—duplicate Texture (Luma Invert)

Color Correct and Tint Color Layer and create a black solid (set to screen) below the color layer

Also used the linear transition to guide where the fire burns
