In this example I used a stock photo of a torch, along with stock video of flickering fire (but certainly feel free to experiment with your own stock elements). <em>Note, for free HD stock video of fire check out <a title=\"Free HD Stock Video\" href=\"http:\/\/mitchmartinez.com\/free-4k-red-epic-stock-footage\/#\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">these nice clips by Mitch Martinez<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>By adding a digital light in After Effects we can make the isolated lighting source of the flame more believable. The flicker of the light is made even more realistic by adding a simple Wiggle expression to the AE light.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fixed_heat-displacement-lighting.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-102791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fixed_heat-displacement-lighting-300x109.jpg\" alt=\"fixed_heat-displacement-lighting\" width=\"300\" height=\"109\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, in the last 10 minutes we&#8217;ll jump into generating the <strong>After Effects heat displacement map animation<\/strong>. We&#8217;ll create the heat animation with the <strong>After Effects turbulent noise<\/strong> effect and then isolate it by masking only the effected areas of the frame.<\/p>\n<p>For your convenience I&#8217;ve included the project file for the <strong>heat displacement map.<\/strong>\u00a0If you&#8217;re interested in how to use it, you can jump to 14:30 in the video where I discuss this specifics of this <strong>free AE template<\/strong> (<em>works in After Effects version CS6 and above<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>[maxbutton id=&#8221;1&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This simple heat effect can really add a level of realism to your <strong>After Effects projects<\/strong>.
