Types of video effects
Want to make your video look amazing? No problem! There are many apps to add effects to videos, and you can choose among the best VFX software that let you add various special effects in just a few clicks. Now, let’s learn about different types of movie effects that can help you create the desired look for your video.
Color
One of the aspects that influences your impression of a video is color. It can convey a certain mood in a video and bring an aesthetic look. To experiment with colors in a video, you can apply ready-made color filters or manually adjust such parameters as brightness, saturation, contrast, etc.
Chroma key
This effect is often used in professional movies. In fact, it’s quite easy to change the background of your video – just shoot a video with a green screen and then use a video maker program to replace the background with a picture or video of your choice.
Intros
Another great effect that you can use in your video is intros. Create a unique sequence that you can apply to all your videos and make them recognizable. For intros, use animated titles, stickers, and unusual filters like the shake effect or vertigo.
Video distortion effects
If you want to give your video a touch of a retro atmosphere, use the glitch or VHS effect.
Sounds
Visual effects become even more impressive when accompanied by appropriate sounds. For example, you can add to the gloomy atmosphere of a video using the sounds of rain and thunder. Highlight funny moments with the sounds of laughter or applause.
