In this video, we will show you how to create this rapper light effect in Wondershare Filmora. First, drop your footage on the timeline. Then identify where the hand starts to move, split it and do the same for the other hand too. Then duplicate both split clips on track 2.
Select the first split clip, go for the "Smart Cutout” tool, and mask hand frame by frame. Then do the same for another hand on the second split clip.
Then go to “Effects” and apply the "Burning Outline 2" AI portrait effect on both duplicate clips. Select the first clip under the "Effects" setting, change "Radius" to 2.5, "Alpha Start Node" to 0.3, "Alpha End Note" to 0.9, "Eclosion" to 89, "Section Length" to 0.9, and turn off CoreLine.
Next, select the second split part; just change the "Radius" to 3 and set the same setting as the first split clip. So now our first effect is completed. Now split the clip at 2 seconds and the 16th frame. Apply the "Lightning Twined" effect and change the color to “orange” or “yellow.” Split the clip right after the hand motion is completed. Then stop when the hand is in the gun position.
To create a bullet shot effect, go to the "Stickers," download this big gunshots effect pack, and drop the "Big Gun Shots 04" effect on track 4. Go one frame forward, and you will see the gunshot. Turn on "Transform" keyframes and place them on your fingertip. Place the keyframe at the start, then go one frame forward and again set it at the fingertip position. Shrink the effect for a bit. To create the next effect, split the clip at 4 seconds and the 20th frame.
Duplicate it on track 2. Go to the "AI Tools" and turn on “Smart Cutout” to isolate the rapper. Now if we want to hide track 1, you can only see the rapper. Hide track 2 for a while and turn on "Motion Tracking" for the original split part and track the head of the rapper.
Then go to the "Media" and drop this horn PNG, which you can download from PNG egg for free. Split it at 4 seconds and the 18th frame, flip it horizontally, then select the main clip. Under "Link Element," select PNG clip, select horn clip, and adjust its "Scale" and "Position" in the preview screen. Change the "Zoom Level" to 10% and "Rotate" it by 1 to 2 degrees. Change "Zoom Level" to "Fit," then select the "Linear" mask and rotate it by 92 degrees. Place the playhead at the start on PNG. Set "Blur Strength" to 16.4 and change.
"y value” to negative 406. Turn on keyframes, change “y value” to 427, and move a few frames forward.
Then go to "Color" and make some color adjustments to blend the horn PNG to the main clip. Unhide the track 2 clip, copy it, and create another duplicate on track 5. Extend the gunshot effect. Next, go to the effect and apply the "Laser Eyes 2" effect on track 6. Set its duration accordingly, change the "Color" to orange, and turn off the "Ray" effect. Now select the duplicate clip on track 2, turn on the "Transform" keyframes at the start position, change "Scale" to 149.8, and move a few frames forward. Then go a few frames forward, and set "Scale" at 133.2. In the end, change "Scale" to 100. Turn on the "Opacity" keyframe for the second keyframe, select the last keyframe, and set "Opacity" to 0. You can also add another keyframe after the second keyframe to slow down the fade-out effect.
Apply "Burning Outline 3" effect on it, go to the "Effects" setting, change "Radius" to 20, "Alpha End Node" to 0, "Duration" to 0, "Eclosion" to 100, "Segment" to 1, turn off coreline, "Intensity" to 0.7, "External Light Intensity" to 20, "External Light Density" to 3.0, "Core Light Intensity" to 3.5, "Core Light Density" to 5. You can create different light effects by changing values.
Now split the clip at 5 seconds and 5th frame. Apply the "Neon Ring 6" effect and change "Color" to “orange” or “yellow.” Last, split the clip at 6 seconds, and duplicate it on track 2. Use “Smart Cutout” to isolate the rapper. Again duplicate it on track 3. Split it into 3 parts, then apply the "Edge Grow” effect on track 2. Duplicate the clip and turn off “Smart Cutout” for track 2. For the last split clip, change the "Edge Scale" frequency to 20.

Smart Cutout to Isolate Rapper

Apply a split through the scissor icon and duplicate this split in another track on the timeline by copying and pasting. Double-click on the split and select "AI Tools" from "Video" on the screen's right side. Turn on "Smart Cutout" and press "Click to start Smart Cutout" to isolate the rapper by brushing the entire body. Press "Save" once this is done.
