That looks pretty interesting, looking forward to an actual video of it!

Hi again.
I've uploaded a first clip.

Impressive !
-
That's quite nice. Even better than I was expecting, in fact. Adding sound effects really helps ramp up the coolness factor, resulting in a brilliant effect. I can't really think of anything to suggest as far as improvements; there are of course variations that could be tried, but as far as the effect itself, it works great.

Well done Majahr! it looks real good!

Hi.
Thank you 8-| Well, the effect itself is quite easy, but due of the fact, that HitFilm particles currently can't interact with other layers (e.g. like Trapcode-Form), you had to sync all parts together (text disolve, glow/blur, lightning, particle flow, ...) to create a realistic look.
Greets,

That was pretty awesome! Very well made effect there.

Do You Have a tutoria looks like AE not HitFilm
-
Well, that could be the case because hitfilm is really up to after effects in many points, and even better in some...

Hi.
Well...I'm new to HitFilm and have only played a little bit with AE at my company before...so I had to find out, how to do some things first...as soon as I understand, how this effect can be done with HitFilm, the real composition was done in just 1h...
...and yes, I'll try to explain the used technique in a tutorial soon... 8-|
Best regards,
Marc
Here's a shortcut of what I've done:
I've took a look at some tutorials for AfterEffects (Text to Sand, Wind Effects, ...) and noticed, that nearly all particle effect were made with Trapcode Particular, which can interact with layers, i.e. a text. This can't be done with HitFilm yet, so it's just a fake effect: While the particles are ermitted and positioned in space, the text is faded out smoothly. This can be made using a feathered mask or by using a gradient (black -> white). The mask or gradient had to be in-sync (keyframed the position), so it looks like, the text will be dissolved by the particles.
