Thank You
by Stacy McDougall on Oct 29, 2009

I just wanted to say I really appreciate this tutorial. I haven't seen anything like it and it is a really great and fast effect.

Rob Neal - Thanks for the tip you made as well. Those are really good suggestions. I've never tried using a light with Particular or using the shading options though. There is so much to learn about Particular.

Adding to this effect
by Martin Corona on Oct 29, 2009
Would be cool to have the particles/photos sucked into a vortex/black hole.
A few tips
by Rob Neal on Aug 31, 2009
Once you have imported the folder of images to the projects panel, drag the folder icon to the New Composition icon and you will get a dialogue that offers to create a new sequence. Set the value to 00.00.00.01 (ie: 1 frame) and it will create the comp of the right frame lengths and comp duration. Select all the layers and select layers>transform>fit to comp and they will all adjust to optimum size.

It's also worth switching on 'depth of field' in the camera settings to get a nice blur for more distant or close panels. If you have Particular 2.0, add a light and use the new shading function to really make the whole thing 3D.

Keyframe assistant
by Gabriel Camoleze on Jul 28, 2009
Hi! I have a question about the tutorial. When I was using the keyframe assistant to make the photos 1 frame each, after I used it, just one photo become 1 frame size, the others all became the same size as the time line (wich by the way is 30s im my project). How can I do to make all of them just 1 frame size? Please, PLEASE somebody help!

Videos Instead of Photos???
by Ed Daher on Jun 21, 2009
Great tutorial !! I haven’t used Particular much but I’m going to use it more now.
Is there a way to use 60 second video clips instead of photos and if so, what tweaking in Particular would need to be done. A tutorial on that would be fantastic but it’s probably too much to ask.
Thanks again for the tutorial,
Ed

Preview without rendering in FCP
by Edward Brosens on Jun 13, 2009
I saw you scrubbing trough the timeline in FCP, but you can also hit alt+p to preview your timeline without having to render even when the clips are marked red on top of the timeline.

Great tutorial by the way,

Edward
