Overview
Creative theme: Video editing
Asset type(s): Video clips
Everyone loves fireworks! Apart from celebrating New Year’s, they’re most popular in the UK around 5 November as we celebrate bonfire night (or strictly speaking, Guy Fawkes night!). We braved the local weather to attend a fireworks display and bring you 4k finale footage 🙂
Here are two stills from our downloadable fireworks clip:
Project Suggestions
1: Save individual frames from the 4k video clip to use as still images in their own right. Each ‘4k’ frame contains around 8 megapixels of detail, giving you enough information to print as a picture or crop it for use online.
2: Use the video clip as an animated backdrop for a text title. This ‘video inside text’ technique is regularly used for cinematic effect and is a useful technique to add to your video editing arsenal!
Here’s how to do ‘video in text’ in After Effects:
Here’s how to do it in Premiere Pro:
…and here’s how to do it in Vegas Pro:
3: Source appropriate music and sound effects from freemusicarchive to accompany the fireworks as part of your own video edit!
Download the video clips
Below is a fireworks finale video clip, saved as a 4k file and a separate full HD version. It’s 30 seconds long and recorded in 24fps. You are welcome to use our downloadable files for your own personal projects or for educational / classroom use. Files files must not be redistributed elsewhere or used for personal gain.
This is just one of our Festive Treats! Make sure you join us for the others!
