when i change the blend method to add the black layer doesn't disappear but when I change it to none the black screen goes?

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@SamEvans98 Sounds like you're changing the blend mode of the effect rather than the layer itself.

How do you get the particles to stay put on the floor? They just bounce right off of my deflector or they roll away.

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@Keegandhi Try increasing the friction and reducing the bounce for the particle system.

how do you make the particles bounce of the floor?

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@MrBradez1234567890 You use a deflector, aligned to be in the correct place to mimic the actual floor of the live action shot.

Do some jokes like Andrew Kramer :P

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@PivotProDD I'm not sure we can compete with Andrew's superb wit, Pivot.

[CRYOmine]

How can you make one like the one at the very end of the film? It looks different - a lot more full on and powerful.
