its a small video, so it doesnt look as good as it is bigger

Looks great Como. Do you have to tape in HD to achieve a look like that? I would think SD would get pixelated from the enlargement.

what do u meen? i filmed it with my dvx100b....

Can you share how you did the effect? Its very cool. What I was saying is it look like a paused frame with a mask to cut the background, (or possibly green screened), then the scale increased a bit. I know when I increase the scale on dv footage, it gets grainy and pixelated the larger you go. Yours doesn't seem to do that at all when it appears to zoom on Steve a bit.

i just freeze framed the part where i zoom him in, and i duplicated the layer, so the background fades out, now that i ahve its masked, i cabn take conytol of Steve, and i zoomed him in slowly, then i added a layer, and made that stroke, and added the Stroke effect from the render section. Keyframed it in and out

then for the firey bit, i just added a roughen edges, and turned on the color. I incresed the first number alot to get it closing in
