Default How to add effect to movies - such as flaming or backlit background to a gif or avi

Forgive my noobness, but how does one add effects like flaming or blacklight to a gif, jpeg or into an avi?

What program/utility is best for this? Are there anyones that are free/freeware?

TIA

Download Particle Illusion SE, a cut down version of Particle Illusion as it is used to add all manner of effects to video (I haven't tried it with still images yet) such as flames, smoke, fire, dust, clouds, water etc.

Even though it is the cut down version of the full app, it should have enough effects to cover what you are looking for. Let us know how you get on.
