Drop spaceship PNG at 5 seconds and the first frame on track 3, and make it as long as street footage. Move it to track 5, then make some color adjustments towards bluish, change "Exposure" to -14, and change the "Contrast" to 100. Select street footage and adjust the color to make it blend with the spaceship.

Now select the spaceship clip, split it after 1 second, then split again after 2 seconds. Select the first split part, add "Transform" keyframes at the start, and change the "Scale" to 1.8 and the Y position to 535. Rotate it by 28 degrees, go after 15 frames, change "Scale" to 23.4, Y position to -3, and "Rotation" to 0. Go to the last frame and change the "Scale" to 33.0. Turn on the "Drop Shadow” effect, change the "Angle" to 181, "Distance" to 69, and "Opacity" to 60.

Step-By-Step Guide to Create Ray Fire Effect

Preparation

What you need to prepare:

  • A computer (Windows or macOS)
  • Your video materials.
  • Filmora video editor
Step 1
Launch and Import Files in Filmora

Launch Wondershare Filmora and import your video footage to the timeline. Adjust its length as needed, duplicate the video by pressing "Ctrl + D," and place the duplicated video in another track.

After that, import the spaceship or similar-looking element PNG file to another track and adjust its duration to match the original video footage. Click the recently updated track and make color adjustments, if necessary, from the "Color" panel.

Step 2
Make Adjustments to Split Layer

After importing and adjusting your media files in the timeline track, split the spaceship track clip into three different durations. Add keyframes for the "Transform" section at the start of the first split part. Moreover, adjust the "Scale," "Position," and "Rotate" values to create movement and rotation effects according to your requirements. Add a shadow effect to the first split part and adjust its settings as desired. Repeat the same process for the other two split parts.

Step 3
Active Motion Tracking For Video Clip

Enable "Motion Tracking" for the first clip in the timeline track by accessing the "AI Tools" and locating the option. Hide the 2nd spaceship clip that is likely to be in the second track by clicking the "Eye" icon. Set the motion tracking target from the Preview window.

Step 4
Adjust the Element Using Reference Layer

Unhide the second spaceship clip in the timeline and place the first split clip in another track as a reference clip for adjusting the "Scale" and "Position" of the spaceship in the second split clip. Bring the first split layer back to its track and adjust the "Scale" value of these clips.

Step 5
Make Adjustments to the Neon Grid PNG Files

Import the neon grid PNG file to the latest timeline track and create a mask around the video using the "Rectangle" mask. Next, increase the "Blur Strength" for a grid showing up effect from the right side settings panel. Click the "Snapshot" button in the preview window, and replace the first neon grid PNG file with the snapshot.

Repeat the process for the second neon grid PNG file in the timeline and take a snapshot of it to replace it with its PNG in the timeline. Adjust as needed.

Step 6
Add Keyframes and Final Touch Up

Unhide all the clips and select the last split part of the element or spaceship. Add "Transform" keyframes and animate the "Scale," "Rotate," and "Position" values to make the element travel out from the screen, creating the Ray Fire effect.
