How to Create Cloud Hanging Effect in Filmora

In this video, we will show you how to create this cloud-hanging overhead effect in Wondershare Filmora. First, drop your clip on track 1, change "Frame Rate" to 50 fps, and click on "Fit Clip to Timeline." You can download these different clouds' PNGs from pngwing.com for free. Also, download this "Blockbuster Pack" from "Filmstock" to create this effect.

Now, drop the cloud PNG on track 2, change "Scale" to 159, and adjust its "Position." Then drop this cloud PNG on track 3 and make it 6 seconds long. Add a "Position" keyframe, set X at -172 and Y at -9. Then, change the X value to -51 at the end.

Now, go to the "Stickers" and drop "Electricity 12" on track 4. Change "Speed" to 0.5x and make it 6 seconds long. Then, change "Scale" to 85; move it to the left of the cloud. Change "Blending Mode" to "Lighten." Go to "Color" and change the "Exposure" value to 72, "Brightness" to -20, "Vibrance" and "Saturation" to -100.

Then drop "Electricity 8" at 1 second and 44 frames on track 5. Change X value to -100, Y to 36. Again, drop the Electricity 21 effect at 3 seconds and the 25th frame on track 5. Unlock the "Scale," set the X value at 101.2 and Y at 187, and adjust its "Position," it will create a light and striking effect. Change "Blending Mode" to "Screen."

Then drop the same clip on track 6, go to "AI tools," and use the Smart Cut tool to cover the subject; then, you can see the cloud behind the subject.

Now drop another cloud PNG on track 7, reduce "Scale" to 57, and set its position. Duplicate the "Electricity 21" effect on track 8, split it at 3 seconds and the 25th frame. Select the second part, go to the "Mask," and select "Linear" Mask.

Rotate it by 90 degrees and change the Y value to -306. Turn on "Invert Mask," then select Smart Cutout clip on track 6, go to the mask, select "Linear" Mask, and rotate it by 90 degrees. Set Y at -736 and "Invert Mask."

Now check whether light and strike are behind the hand or not, and make some adjustments if needed. Then drop dark cloud PNG on track 9, and change "Scale" to 52. Now, we will make it travel from the left to the middle at a slow speed. Add a "Position" keyframe at the beginning and set the X to -631 and Y to 179. Add another keyframe at the end and set X to 191.

Drop another cloud on track 10, change "Scale" to 58.5, X position to -400, and Y to -72 at the beginning. Then, at the end, change the X value to -331. Just add a slight movement of the cloud, then again drop another cloud PNG. Set its "Position," again drop the gray cloud PNG, and adjust its "Position."

Go to the "Stickers" and apply "Electricity 11" on track 13. Change duration to 6 seconds, change "Blending Mode" to Lighten, and then adjust the color values to make it a slightly darkish cloud. Next, drop "Electricity 13" on track 14, make it 6 seconds long, and then set the X position at 231 and do some color adjustments.

Last, drop the "Electricity 7" effect at 1 second and the 44th frame on track 15. Change "Blending Mode" to "Screen," "Position" X to 249, Y to 13. Then go forward at 3 seconds and the 5th frame and drop the Electricity 9 effect on track 16. Change "Blending Mode" to screen and set "Scale" at 78.9, "Position" X to -150 and rotate it by 160 degrees.

Now render it to see the final preview. If you're interested in more creative editing, check out filmora.wondershare.com.
