How to Add a Simple but Effective Fire Animation to Your Instagram Reel?

Combining real footage and animation is a  great way to capture attention and make your Instagram reels really stand out. Let’s create a fire animation, that is cute and simple, but also very effective.

After you create the composition, start by drawing a simple line. Then change the Taper properties as shown in the video above.

Then simply add the Wave warp effect from your Effects panel. Change the effect settings as demonstrated above.

Duplicate the layer and shorten the path to create a realistic flame. Change the color.

Finally, add the animation to the real-live footage as shown in the video tutorial.

This is the final result.
