How to Make an Anime Inspired God Speed Effect

A demo to the start including the requirements. Usually, you can kickstart with a camera, a tripod, and the Filmora that will make it suitable for the newbies as well.

There will be the need for two videos where the first one is the empty shot and the other is the character moving to different locations to record the video for the effect. The character needs to pause for some moments during the recording.

Head towards the Filmora and import both videos. The import shall take a few moments and ask for the resolution to be adjusted. Go with the flow and add the videos to the timeline from the import window.

Adjust the video to make the clips from the video scenes. Continue for the different scenes with the character and then separate the clips from the main video. This will enlist the clips in the other video track.

Masking is the way to separate the subject from the scenic video. This will remove the extra parts from the video frame. Head over to the Masking window and select the shape to include in the timeline.

Increase the blur strength to make it realistic for the character to move across the spots. This will make the video frames in lieu of the scenes and blur out any ambiguity from the main video. Adjust the slider to the required level and preview the video alongside.

Go to the second video to freeze the frame of the video. You need to do the same with the other videos as well. However, you may need to speed up the process. Add the freeze videos to the secondary track of the videos.

Mask out the subject in all the video segments. Select the video and open the mask window by doble0clicking on the video. Also, add the blur strength and do this to all the other videos as well. After that, lock the tracks as well.

Add keyframes to the videos to make the video smooth. In order to do that, add the freeze frames duration to overlap with the main video. Head to the animation tab to add the keyframes to the videos respectively.

Customize the keyframes using the Customize tab. Here you can scale as well as Position to match it with the other video. This will also give you the Opacity option to make the character movement looks smooth.

Go to the effects menu to go for the Blur effect. This will add a real touch to the video featuring the character. Add the Blur effect to the character clip in the timeline. Finish the Blur effect customization with the options it provides.

The keyframing video is a bit too slow and in order to make it shorter, drag the keyframe slider within the video track and make it shorter. Now adjust the next layered video on top of it as well so it will get in sync with the character clip.

For the final video, add the keyframe to the beginning and end of the character video in track 2. After adding the keyframe, adjust the slider by dragging the keyframe to the left which will squeeze the slider.

For making the effect smooth further, use the Transition effects on the videos. Visit the Transition menu and add the Dissolve transition to both the beginning and end of the videos in the video tracks. This will smooth out the overall video as you can see in the preview window.

Add the color grading to highlight the colors and correct the color disruptions within the videos. You can use the black and white filter to make it more dramatic. Search for the desired filter from the list and drag it over to the video.

You can also add as many effects as you want. In addition, you can add LUTs to make it more interesting. Drag and drop the effects on the character video and preview the effect. You can also customize them according to the scene.

Finish the editing and preview the final video which is inclusive of all the effects and the filters. You can preview the editing from start to end and easily add this anime effect to your video using Filmora.
