Introduction

This is the final result we will create: the city square during the day transforms into a blue night with a glowing fire pit, smoke rising, flying embers, and flickering orange lights around it. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The third final project is a composite of E6FX, combining techniques from the effects module and E6FX. The key is to build the scene layer by layer, then combine it with light and grain.

Step 1: Day becomes night

Create a composition from the old city footage. Add a night adjustment layer with Lumetri, exposure minus 1.5, highlights minus 60, temperature minus 40, and saturation 60%, then a gradient multiply to darken the sky. Import the night fire footage, place it on top of the scene with the screen mode, reduce it to 35%, and position it in front of the pine tree.

Step 2: Campfire

Apply a feathered ellipse mask so only the fire pit glow is visible.

Step 3: Smoke

Create a solid smoke with fractal noise turbulence smooth, screen mode, and 35% opacity, an elongated ellipse mask over the fire pit, and an upward offset turbulence with the evolution expression to make the smoke rise. Create a solid ember with CC Particle Work, producer above the fire pit, negative gravity, small fading yellow-orange particles, and add mode.

Step 4: Embers

Small embers floating from the fire pit.

Step 5: Light and unifier

Create a solid fire light with a radial orange gradient ramp in add mode and the wiggle expression on opacity. Add a glow to the fire pit. Finally, add an adjustment layer at the top for blending with add grain and Lumetri vignette.

Step 6: Preview and render

Play the preview. Blue night in the old city with a lively fire pit, flames, smoke, embers, and moving lights together. Render the result with render cue.

Done!

Done. We have built the E6FX composite layer by layer, day for night, fire with screen, fractal noise smoke, particle embers, flickering lights, glow, grain, and vignette. In the last project, we created a music visualizer. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for a short film?
