4K Ignited Wooden Matchstick Animation – Seamless Loop with Alpha Channel
Photorealistic 4K fire animation, production-ready in seconds — a wooden matchstick ignites on screen with a natural, flickering flame, isolated on a transparent alpha channel over a black background. No keying, no rotoscoping, no After Effects project to unpack. Drop the .MOV (ProRes 4444) directly into your timeline and composite over anything — a product shot, a cinematic title card, a dark UI, a city background. The seamless 10-second loop repeats indefinitely, saving you the time of crossfading or retiming. Built for VFX artists, motion designers, video editors, and filmmakers who need realistic fire elements without the render time. Instant download for just $5.

A single, endlessly loopable shot — the match head ignites and burns with full flame behavior, glow, and heat shimmer:
Perfect For
Why This Animation Stands Out
Unlike stock fire overlays or stylized cartoon flames, this match animation was rendered with careful attention to real flame behavior — the irregular flicker cadence, the warm-to-cool color gradient from the base to the tip, the wood grain reacting to the heat, and the subtle environmental glow that spills outward. The ProRes 4444 codec preserves both full color fidelity and the alpha channel at maximum quality, so you composite with exactly what was rendered — no compression artifacts, no fringe, no banding. The seamless loop is genuinely invisible: the last frame blends back into the first without any manual crossfade or speed-ramping on your end. It's the kind of fire element that reads as real in the final cut, not as a stock overlay.

Drag the .MOV file directly into your compositing or editing timeline — works with After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, and any software that supports ProRes 4444. Because the background is an alpha channel, no keying or rotoscoping is required. To extend duration beyond 10 seconds, simply loop the clip in your editor.
