so I decided to upgrade from Windows Movie Maker to Lightworks, and I'm still getting used to it.
But I had a question. Can i generate gun fire or set a man on fire (with the program of course! :))

If it's possible, can some explain it to me. or am I in need of a different program!?

Thanks in advanced!
 
Im not familiar with lightworks, but if you have the money i highly recommend Adobe After Effects! I use it for my VFX videos on my channel!

really love after effects, but it's also really expensive! lol maybe there's a cheaper version, but i've seen it for $1000 +

If your a student you can get it for cheep. Though you could also get stock footage of fire and smoke n such and over lay that on the clips.. Iv done a few gun scenes in videos i make and i use stock footage all the time to replicate the effects such as muzzle flashes, explosions, smoke, etc.

i'll check to see if I can get a student discount (though I'm not sure they'll discount a Biochem major, lol). In the meantime, it's try and got some footage to sue!

I would think they would, but ya there is plenty of free stock footage websites out there and plenty of stock footage on youtube you can download also! Best of luck bud! :)
