How To Get Explosion Effect On Your Video Using Filmora

Start Wondershare Filmora and Import Files

Video import is the first thing you must do after starting the Wondershare Filmora. For this purpose, you need to click the "Media" bar from the top-left side of your screen and click the "Import Media" button again. This way, you can import your required video from the device that needs explosion effect editing.

Drag the Video to the Timeline

You have already imported the video to Filmora. Now you’re required to drag the imported video to the project timeline below.

Blend Explosion Effects into Video

Click on the “Elements” bar from the menu at the top of the screen, navigate into the "Cinematic" category, and choose your desired explosion effect from the options. Whatever explosion effect you select, drag it to the timeline below.

Customize the Duration of the Effect

By using the playhead in the timeline, delete the excessive part of your effect using the "Scissor" icon. Make sure to set the duration of your chosen effect similar to the duration of your video in the timeline.

Improve Effect Movement with Motion Tracking

Your video may not be synchronized with the added explosion. To overcome this, double-click on your video in the timeline. A window will open, choose "Video" from the bar and tick mark the "Motion Tracking" feature. A motion tracking box will start appearing on the screen, adjust its size by placing it on any object in the video and make sure to keep it as small as possible.

Track Through the Object and Set the Effect as Subject

Now click on "Start Tracking," and the video rendering process will start with the application of motion tracking. Moreover, your motion tracking is now set to none; click on the dropdown menu and select the effect named Epic Film Effects. Adjust the explosion effect on the screen by dragging it to your desired location.

Edit Background Colors from Basic Parameters

Upon double-clicking the video in the timeline, a window will open on your screen. Press the option “Color" and then press the "White Balance" option and adjust the background color, temperature, and tint as required.

Adjust Advanced Coloring

You can also adjust the shadow of the background. To do this, click on "Advanced," select "Adjust," scroll down and click on the "Light" menu and then adjust shadows and other aspects as well. Click “OK” once all changes are done.

Save and Export Explosion Effect Video

Now preview your final video by pressing the “Play” button. After this, click on the “Export” button and set the file saving location on the device. Your video will be downloaded successfully.
