Utilizing plug-ins such as Trapcode's Particular and Knoll Light Factory, we'll go through the process of how a meteor effect can be created and integrated into video footage. We'll go through the process of creating an alpha matte, tracking our footage, creating a meteor effect with Particular and even work through a technique for converting 3D camera track into 2D data so it can be used with Knoll Light Factory. We'll also talk about how we can add in some lens effects and use animation to add polish to the shot.

Once you've completed this After Effects training, you'll not only know how to achieve a meteor effect but you'll also understand how you can use these techniques to create your own meteor effect in your own footage.
