Add realistic heat signatures to your videos with Video Copilot's Heat Distortion Plug-In for Adobe After Effects. Not simply a moving blur mask, Heat Distortion provides a controllable image distortion with noise that mimics the look of a heat source affecting the air around it. To customize your heat signature, the plugin includes controls for the amount of distortion, noise scale and speed, heat bias (distortion:blur ratio), as well as wind direction and speed. The effect can be masked off and feathered to have it gradually fall off farther away from the heat source.
