Lightning Strike VFX Tutorial for HitFilm Pro & Express

I took advantage of the arrival of spring and rainstorms to create this close-up, powerful lightning effect.

We’ll build the whole effect from scratch, including:

1. Adding individual flashes of light
2. Setting up the Lightning & Electricity effect
3. Using a three-tier Glow effect to customize the color of the lightning
4. Importing a lens flare from Radiance 2.0

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions.
