Part 2: How to Edit Your Own Galaxy Effect with Filmora?
Now that you know where to source galaxy effects, let’s dive into creating a disappearing space effect in Filmora X. Follow these steps to seamlessly merge your foreground with a cosmic backdrop.
Step 1. Upload your footage to Filmora.
Begin by filming yourself against a green screen—any smartphone or camcorder will do. Upload both the green‑screen clip and the galaxy effect to Filmora X, then drag them onto the timeline. Place the green‑screen footage above the galaxy layer.
Step 2. Trim and adjust the clips (optional).
If the green‑screen clip is longer than the background, trim it by selecting the clip, positioning the playhead, and clicking Trim. You can also adjust playback speed via Speed and Duration in the right‑click menu.
Step 3. Remove the green background.
Right‑click the green‑screen clip, choose Green Screen, and preview the result. Then, open the Chroma Key settings under the Video section. Fine‑tune tolerance, edge thickness, offset, and feathering until the background is cleanly removed.
Enhance the scene with suitable background audio—upload a sound effect or select one from Filmstock and place it on a separate track.
Step 4. Add a zoom‑in effect.
To create a dramatic disappearing motion, select the green‑screen clip and click Crop. In the Crop & Zoom window, switch to the Pan & Zoom tab and activate From near to far. Adjust the inner rectangle to set the focal point of your zoom. Once satisfied, apply the effect and preview the final look.
