The Tsar Bomba nuclear explosion was the biggest above-ground test ever performed and the yield was fifty megatons or more. For comparison, Minuteman III missiles in the active nuclear arsenal may carry up to 1.5 megatons ... but there are fifteen hundred of them.
This one is outstanding for Final Cut as the perspective means the horizon can be cropped out of it and the image stretched to adjust.
It's conceivable the sky is enough of a monochrome behind the explosion that it can be masked out so this image can be composited with others. If that works it would be novel because that clip could be used multiple times and re-sized to blow off multiple nukes all over the screen.
Downloaded from YouTube, the video is 1280 x 720 and that's adequate for use in Final Cut.
There's another one from the fiasco of Castle Bravo and the resolution is about the same. The image isn't quite as good but it's one extremely big bang. I believe that's the one that got above-ground testing stopped because they screwed up so much. The bombers expected it to be about six or seven megatons but it went crazy high, maybe fifteen or twenty megatons. That blew up the whole atoll and sent fallout all over the place.
Maybe I'm getting into this because of all the rubbish from Donald Trump about Mexicans being the death of us all. So I can follow the stinks from his fetid little mind and spend much of time thinking, damn, what an asshole. Or I can find pictures of really high-end professional madness as these guys don't screw around with pitfart border fences, they're going to blow up the whole world. So long as Donald Trump is in it, I say go ahead on ... we don't deserve the place anyway.
