Will the fire match the lighting in my shot?

The model grounds the flame in your footage and casts warm firelight onto nearby surfaces, so the burn reads as part of the original scene.

Can I make just part of an object burn?

Yes. Describe exactly what should catch fire and how far it spreads in the prompt, and adjust if the first render goes too far.

Is this safe for footage with people in it?

There is no real fire involved — it is generated VFX — so there is no on-set risk. For the result, describe how the flame should relate to any people in frame.

Fire & explosions

Set objects on fire on video — without the burn

Burning a real prop is a one-shot, high-risk affair that most productions can't insure. vfxmagia spreads photoreal flame across whatever you point it at — a torch, a wreck, a building — with licking orange-yellow fire, drifting embers, and heat haze. The warm light even spills correctly onto the surfaces around it.

Why it works

What you get

Make any object or surface catch fire convincingly, with embers and rising heat haze.
Warm flickering firelight realistically illuminates nearby surfaces in the shot.
Zero safety crew, fire marshals, or destroyed props — your footage stays intact.
Iterate the intensity and spread cheaply until the burn reads right on screen.

How it works

Three steps

01Upload the footage of the object or surface you want to burn (footage mode).
02Choose the Object on fire template and name what should catch and how fiercely.
03Render, check the flame spread and firelight, then download or refine.
