Oh that's how you did the cinematic particles. I've been trying to replicate that with no success. Can you upload the cinematic particle picture as well

@TehWorldVids It's actually not a picture, it's a composition with a bunch of random shades or orange. Make a comp and fill it with random shapes with different shades of orange and you're set! :) Don't forget to feather them!

Watched the tutorial and I played around with the Displacement, Fractal and Disperse & Twist options, I cant seem to get close to the image you have in the beginning of the turorial. That was a nice affect.

Overall the tutorial was good on teaching how to use particles as masks but hopefully you can go into more dept on how each property affects the overall finished product.

Thanks and keep them coming.

Now we talking. Stick to the tutorials and not the unboxings. Hey, Verizon got the iPhone now. It sucks for you because you got locked-in to AT&T usury plan for 2-years. LOL If you just waited a little longer, you could have went with Verizon. YouTube has spell check now -- interesting. Hey, do more trapcode tutorials. Thanks

@GeneralDee3000 I paid full price for the iphone to get it contract free if you watched the unboxing video at all...I could easily sell it on ebay and switch to verizon now.

hey great tutorials but I have question, how would you use form to transition to a new object or text

Hi Vinhson! I saw the video you told us to see, the Cinematic Particle Animation.

I was very curious how you did the particle, where they fall to the ground and then bounce after the thump. IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF YOU DID A TUTORIAL for that.

sorry I had to use caps, I have thought about that effect in a while now :D

thanks for you time :D

If someone wants to have a Photoshop file of that just go to -- Composition>Save Frame As> Photoshop Layers...

and add a background to it so it won't be almost transparent.

And another tip: use that effect on text and it will look pretty cool...

[hasanhalai123]

Hey Vinhson,

These form videos are helping me with form a lot, I was hoping you could make more? I think your one talented guy! Have you heard of the plugin from red giant software, psunami. Its a really cool one, check it out, I think you could do a lot with it.
