Sci-fi & holograms
Add a hologram or HUD to your footage
A hologram has to glow, flicker, and float convincingly in space without looking like a sticker on the lens. vfxmagia projects a glowing holographic display into your footage — floating UI panels, scan lines, subtle glitches, and a soft projected glow on nearby surfaces. It's instant sci-fi, from a wrist HUD to a room-sized projection.
Why it works
What you get
- Project floating holographic UI panels into your scene.
- Scan lines, subtle glitches, and a soft glow on nearby surfaces.
- Choose the color and scale — wrist HUD to room projection.
- Iterate the layout and flicker cheaply until it reads.
How it works
Three steps
- 01Upload the footage where the hologram should appear (footage mode).
- 02Open the Hologram / HUD template and set the color and placement.
- 03Run, review the projection and glow, then download or refine.
Get started
A prompt to start from
“A glowing cyan holographic display flickers into view above the table near the engineer's hands, floating translucent UI panels, faint scan lines and subtle glitches, a soft projected glow on the desk. Futuristic, clean sci-fi.”
Prompt pack
Prompts to copy for each kind of shot
Wrist HUD
“A small glowing cyan hologram projects up from the agent's wrist device: a rotating map with a blinking marker and a few lines of floating text, faint scan lines, the light reflecting softly on her face.”
For close-ups on a device. Keep the wrist steady and visible in frame.
Table-top map
“A 3D holographic city map rises above the briefing table, translucent blue buildings and glowing route lines, flickering slightly, the crew leaning over it with its light on their faces in a dark room.”
For briefing and planning scenes. Leave empty table space for the projection.
Hologram video call
“A life-size translucent hologram of a man in a suit stands in the office, flickering with scan lines and occasional glitches, edges glowing blue, talking with small hand gestures to the woman at the desk.”
For sci-fi dialogue. Describe the person's pose and gestures so the hologram does not look frozen.
Helmet heads-up display
“Point-of-view through a pilot's visor: a green heads-up display overlays the view with a targeting reticle, altitude numbers, a compass strip, and warning icons that flicker as the ship turns.”
For POV shots. Shoot the view through a windscreen or window and let the prompt add the overlay.
Before you upload
Shot checklist
- Frame empty space where the hologram will float: above a table, beside a person, or over a device.
- A dark or dim room makes a projected glow read far better than a bright set.
- Say the size and position: wrist-sized, table-top, or life-size.
- If actors interact with it, have them look and point at the same spot throughout the take.
- One hologram color per shot keeps the look clean and consistent.
FAQ
Questions, answered
- Can I place the hologram near a character's hands?
- Yes. Describe where it projects — above a table, off a wrist device, near the hands — and the model anchors it there.
- Will the hologram glow onto the scene?
- The template casts a soft projected glow onto nearby surfaces so the hologram reads as a real light-emitting projection.
- Can I get a glitchy or a clean look?
- Describe heavy glitching and flicker for a damaged feel, or a stable clean projection for polished tech.
