In today’s vlog-style blog, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I find, use, and create cinematic VFX elements for my projects. Whether you’re into action, fantasy, or music videos, these VFX can take your video from 0 to 🔥 real quick.
When I started making videos, I thought visual effects meant expensive software and big budgets. But over time, I found ready-to-use VFX stock elements that instantly gave my projects that big-screen feel.
🔥 Fire FX – Perfect for explosions, weapons, or intense scenes
💨 Smoke FX – Adds depth, drama, and atmosphere
✨ Magic FX – Great for fantasy, sci-fi, or creative transitions
