This isn't possible in my adobe after effekts, dont know why but when i'm going to Parent the particle's position with the Null's position, i coudn't parent it position by position, didn't happen enything when i hit "ALT" on the X's position. so i needed to parent the whole particle instead.
I tried to parent the whole particle with the null objekt but it was just wierd, it followed the X's and the Y's position but not the Z's position.
Im running in Windows 7 and with the Adobe After Effects CS5.5 is that a problem?
I'll be happy if anyone answered that for me,( Snirklund@hotmail.com) im a newbe at this animation stuff so explain it to me like i'm a three year old. btw, im from sweden.

Great I'm finished but how do I make the particle cast light on the other layers. I know I could just add another light and animate it but is there another way. Have I missed something

Great tutorial!
I wonder how many other workarounds could be found to give stock AE similar tools as the Particular plugin via presets.
In fact, that sounds like a great idea for a product. You could produce a preset similar in function to Particular but charge considerably less. Even if it is slightly gimped in features, it would probably be something the budget minded would consider. The main reason I don't have Particular myself is I just can't afford it (I just bought AE and Sony Vegas).

When I change the particle radius, velocity, and gravity, my particle disappears. I can\'t see it at all on my screen.
And it won't let me pick whip the Particle to the Null position. Please help!

do the tutorial again, and make sure your camera has the exact same settings as the ones in the tutorial. Also, in order for you to see the particle again you have to animate mkey in the PRODUCER position properies.
Hope it works...

Hey, great tutorial. My problem is that my particle producer moves around when I move the null object, but there is no vapor trail. It seems the particles just cling to the producer location as I move it through time. Why is that?

hello, i am using cs5 and this is my first project i am working on. now my question is i can not make my solid while have that wiggly tail affect. it does wiggle but i can not make it have the following comet tail. i did manage to find the wiggly affect on the right side under effects and presets only because i have no idea how to write in the bar's ''wiggly3,100'' so i dragged it to my solid white. can u please explain to me how did you write in the box or make the tail affect.. thanks. oh and i also tried the alt+click on position but it will not let me on null only on x,y,z on solid white.. i hope u understand what i mean thanks..

Try doing an easier effect to begin with, this is more of an advanced effect. Try basic training on the homepage especially if your a begginer

Thanks for the amazing tutorial Andrew but i would like to know how to get the particle to move where i want it to. Where its at now is just random and i would like to be able to control it but still give it that frantic every where look

It all depends what you want to do with it? For controlling it, I can either suggest going through it every, ten frames or so, and moving it to the exact spot where you want... Apart from that, if you want it to follow something, I know I may be saying the obvious here but, you could motion track it in?
DFTBA,
Luke.
