Advanced Burn Effect - After Effects Tutorial NO PLUGINS!
In this tutorial, we’ll check out an After effects setup for a high quality burning transition effect. Using only native effects, we’ll generate glowing embers, trailing smoke, heat distortion, and more.
2024 Update! I moved Texturelabs off of Patreon - you can now pick up the turbocharged template version of this project here:

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback and hope you've enjoyed the vid! Couple notes based on requests: I’ve added a few optional steps at the end of the written description above if you need a different background (or keyable graphic). As for the music, I pulled a sample from the Ring of Fire intro, slowed it down, played around with some reverb and a beat from SampleSwap. Wish I had a full track but I just looped out enough for the intro!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:16-21 KJV bible.com/bible/1/jhn.3.16-21.KJV “Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:12-13 KJV bible.com/bible/1/jol.2.12-13.KJV my discord is only#2968 if you have any questions, i choose discord because sometimes i don’t get the notifications on youtube if you comment just search up discord in the app store then you’ll find it, if you’re on pc search it up

I'm with Ben. Pretty sure this just took the award for best tutorial of 2021.
Having watched all your amazing Photoshop tutorials I am actually not surprised how devastatingly efficient your AE game is. You are a great inspiration and gifted teacher. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos.

Very kind of you, thanks Alfred!
I just love how efficient it all works! Putting every native effect on AE to work on their best! Great great job
Possibly the most beautiful AE effect I've seen yet! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. you did EVERYTHING to make this accessible and easy to follow and learn. The Video, the markers, the description is a textual walkthrough. Well done
This is such a good tutorial, made me go back to 2007ish when AE didn't had so many external plugins and the tutorials used mostly built in tools and plugins, great work and very useful, I learnt a couple of ways to do some things I haven't thought about, and I've used AE for almost 17 years!
Your Ps. tutorials are all amazing and now your first one on After Effects makes me even more excited for your future uploads! Learned so much from this video alone! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! :)
This is my first time commenting on KZread in 11 years. Your fx chains processes are phenomenal. You make the most inspiring tutorials on KZread. Thank you
That was so great and so high end. So well-explained and just beautiful!!
So far the most well-composed tutorial I have seen on KZread for any software. Kudos and thank you taking the time to share your knowledge. Also for keeping us updated :)
Amazing tutorial! Would love to see more AE tutorials in the future. Your work and channel is much appreciated! :)

I've never used After Effects before but I still watched the whole thing! The way you explain stuff is just so captivating.
BRADY, JUST DID THIS TUTORIAL WITH MY FRIENDS, AND HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS TOTAL INSANITY! Thank you for sharing this!
Amazing process. Thank you so much.
could this be the best tutorial ever? and the additional notes for making it transparent background, excellent - thank you!
I am absolutely stunned. This is the best Ae tutorial I've ever seen. This is legendary. If you taught a class, I would pay for it.
Nice! One of the best tutorials I've followed in years of fiddling with AE. Thank you for your contributions! 👍
I have no words to explain how awesome is this tutorial!!! The way you explain all the steps (why to use each effect and how it's going to work) is amazing! I'll definitely put this technique to a good use! Thanks a lot for this video!!!!!
Absolutely amazing!
This is incredible work. Not just the result, but the amazing efficiency. I have been working with After Effects for over 15 years, and I learned some invaluable tips just from this. Keep up the good work!
such an efficient use of after effects
amazing tutorial! I enjoyed following it
Awesome as ever! Never ceases to amaze!! Even the most basic edits are HEAVY with knowledge for people to absorb and put to use in their own works. thanks!
So thankful for your tutorials and assets. You explain in great detail and i'm able to follow along without skipping a beat. All the best.
Not only the effect is awesome, but the effortless narration and overall teaching style makes videos on this channel outstanding. No stupid intros, no facecam, no shit. I've watched almost entire Ae playlist and it's crazy that this channel has so few subscribers. I also wonder how you come up with this techniques. Please keep it going!
This is the best tutorial I've participated in. EVER
Jawdropping tutorial. Insane to think this can be done without a single plugin. Gorgeous effect and an even better tutoring. Thank you so much for this. You're arguably one of the best AE designers I've ever seen and I'm baffled I didn't find your channel sooner.
Fantastic tutorial thank you very much. God bless!
Spectacular Tutorial!
You have an insanely deep understanding of the tools of Photoshop! Your videos are mind-blowning. I know you hear it in all your comment sections, but it still needs to be said!
The way you are using Alpha Matte to generate effects is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for showing me the different style of working with After Effects.
Bombshell! I am delighted!
This is the most make sense AE tutorial that I've ever found on internet! Cheers for texture labs
OMG!! This time I made it work, so thank u so much!
Can't say how is incredible when you see a native tutorial to Adobe programs! And this is a perfect one!
This is just rad! Great stuff 🔥 💨
Best tutorial EVER for burn effect. So mind blown how it is done without plugin! It is extremely helpful for a scene of burning out the map. Thank you so much!
I love how you making your effects staying responsive for later usage or changing something without repeating the whole process. I also like how you understanding effects working together are react. Old school tricks i noticed and introducing your own in the mix making it pure gold. Respect for your experience. Waiting for next one. Show us more you came up with :)

amazing tutorial
I’m a year late, but this is the single greatest tutorial I’ve watched on any subject since I logged onto the internet for the first time way back in the 90s. Not only is the end result stunning, you explained why you were doing every step and even showed why you aren’t doing other alternatives. Just brilliant all around.
I don't do much in After Effects lately but it's nice to know I can pull this effect off without too much trouble. Plus I love fire 🔥🔥🔥. All these tutorials are top notch. Keep em comin'! EDIT: Grats on 100k subs. Well deserved!
You are an absolute genius...
This is mind blowing. Truly one of the best tutorials out there!
Thank youuu so much !!! Amazing tut for an AMAZING result. TY
I was already extremely happy with the new and original insights in Photoshop, I learn new things, even after 25 years of using it. After Effects is surely another love of mine, with a less years under the belt, so the excitement is even bigger now you are doing this kind of tutorials as well! Your way of thinking in sustainable and repeatable methods is very much how I approach things (thanks to years of working for clients) and this effect is really cool, but more important is seeing you use effects that I might have seen existing in the menus for years, but never knew for what they could be used. This expands the tool box in using the software, and opens inspiration. Thanks for this! You are a great tutor.
This was an absolutely amazing tutorial. Of all of the After Effects tutorials I have seen this was the most thorough and most detailed without spending a useless time on random unhelpful things. Thank you, truly.
You and your tutorial is awesome!
Wow, just wow. Such a stunning effect.
Beyond the visual, I see art in your process! Thanks Texturelabs!
This tutorial is nuts! It's it so elegantly done that it drives me crazy. Awesome job man!
That effect is colddd , subbed.
really need to take the time to say that ... you put the tuto game to an ALL OTHER LEVEL dude ... all your content are very very very good ... quick , efficient, so freaking accurate ... keep going you the MAN fo real ...
Man these tutorials are fantastic. You explain exactly what to do and how it affects the layers and the objects. You have a walkthrough and a learning session all in one. Fantastic!
Thanks!! Amazing! Can't wait to use this!!
Congrats for 100k!
Unbelievably created.. Love it
the best tutor i have seen!
One of the best tutorial I've ever seen.Great job!!!
I'm sold, man this is the best its going to take me about 3 days to get it but I love it thanks.
I can say, for sure, that your channel is the best thing I discovered on youtube this year. Thanks so much!
This tutorial is on fire!
That was amazing!
Thats amasing, thanks!
amazing process. Thank you
This is the best native burning effect i've ever seen being done on youtube. Great job my dude. Great job! Being a VFX artist / Motion Graphics Designer myself I cannot commend you enough on this tutorial. Keep it up! Subscribing now!
I love this discussion at 11:50 about the joys of not pre-composing.
Bro your tuts are the best!
This is amazing. I think that i just saw one of the best tutorial of all. Such interesting, such beautifully constructed tutorial, no music, good voiceover, that is what i was looking for for a long time. I was watching your videos for a short period of time, but i definently adore them, thank you so much. Such underrated chanel. Thanks.
Awesome. What a great, useful and well-structured tutorial! It's been a long time since I've seen something so effective and comprehensible. Thanks a lot for this! 👍😊
awesome work!
i am in awe of this tutorial, this is definetly something i will come back to. you nailed a good explaining speed for this, for advanced and not so advanced folks

Thanks for this knowledge!

Amazing tutorial! 🔥 The effect is insane and you get us through like „it was so easy”. Such a great job
Loved it! Such an amazing technique.
This is so great!!! Thank u very much!!!
Wow!! As a fairly new After Effects user, I'm impressed by a large number of things in this video. The number of effects is so much higher than I'd think of using, but I've learned an enormous amount about how to streamline processes. Also, the pace of this video is fantastic. I can't stand sitting through a KZread tutorial where I can go faster than the instruction. Altogether, a great video, and you've gotten a new subscriber here.
Amazing tutorial thank you brother
Done it and it's so awesome
The best as always
Once again, high end tutorial. Thank you. I just love how your brain works.
Solid work, beautiful breakdown!

I did this last year and I forgot to do it again so I watch it again lol never fails to give me nose bleed. love you texturelabs
Absolutely top notch! Incredible. Thank you
