How to make awesome special effects in movies!

First of all, most movie makers really want to learn how to make cool special effects in their movies.
Most are extremely easy to do-once you know how to do it. Because I don't have the time to make a whole guide, I'll give you some tips to find good guides.

  1. To learn how to make explosions/flames/etc in videos, go to GOOGLE and type in: "How to use Chroma key", or "Chroma Key explosions". (The Chroma Key is the tool you use to use blue/green screen effects, and how to use explosions in your videos. 
  2. If you have the program "Adobe Photoshop", you can use this to make gun muzzle fire and other effects: go to the video editing program, import the video you want, play video until you get where you want to put effect, and then find out how you can take a "snapshot." Then, import it into photoshop, and use the paintbrush tool (yellow/white color) and simply paint in a random pattern. Save the pic., and import into video editing program. 
  3. Be creative, and look up guides for everything!
