The demo of the effect where the video is shown with the pre-recoded footage. Make sure you’ve the recorded footage renames as the base video so it will be easy to spot-on the main video in the upcoming sections.
Launch Filmora and open up the Video Editor. Import the base video to the program and bring in the video to the timeline below. Now you can preview your base video in the preview window.
While you are previewing the video, hit a Pause where the arm is clearly visible in that video. At the same instance, add the base video one more time in the above video track so it will have the same frame of both the videos.
Go to the Effects to add Luma Key Effect and make sure to add this on the top track. Double click on the video and go the Effect section to customize the Effect. Use the Threshold slider to adjust the background image.
Go to the Elements menu to add rain effects. Go to the menu and use the Rain Effect 11 and Rain Effect 08 on the timeline. Preview the video to check it is behind the arm and not on above the hand.
Go to the Effect and flip the effect to make the rain effect in the one direction only. This is to correct the rain drops movement that is abrupted with the inclusion of another rain effect.
Right where the effect is visible clearly, make a cut on the rain effect using the Split key and get rid of the second half. Drag another effect element Rain Drop 12 to the timeline and customize it accordingly.
Find out when the rain drops show up and freeze the frame right over there. Get rid of the other part of this element effect. Repeat the process for the other video effect as well. Freeze the frame where the drops are clearly visible.
To add the forest effect, drag the video tracks one step up to make a space for effect track. Now go to the effects menu and add the fog effect from the effect list. Customize by lowering the opacity to make it look more realistic.
Add another fog effect on the top video as well. Double click on this video now and go to the Effect section where you can customize the Opacity. Use the Opacity slider to lower the effect’s opacity to this video as well.
Go to the transition menu and type glitch to add the glitch transition between the two clips. Make sure the duration matches with the other tracks so it won’t affect the main video preview.
To finish off, add some color grading effects as well. Type in Blue and add the favorite effect to the timeline track. Adjust the blue from the footage. Also add the Dark Film to customize it further.
As soon as the glitch effect is started, go to the Filter section to add sideways shake to the other hand video. Make a cut when you want this effect to end and adjust it accordingly.
Export the current video and create a new project in the similar window. Now add the base video to the timeline and then customize the project.
Add animations to create the keyframes to change the scale, rotation and the position of the hand. You can then customize the keyframes to match the movement to the camera movement and then hit Ok once you are done with the customization.
Right before the rain effect shows up, add another keyframe using the Add button and add another keyframe at the instance where the effect is finished. Now double click the video to adjust the animation key frames. Customize the scaling and the X, Y axis of the effect.
Add the customizations until you’re done with the final aim of your effect video. Preview the final video and make sure you do not miss your favorite effect that you want to use in your final preview video.
