Adding Particle Effects
Adding Motion to Particle Objects
Click on the Motion tab to add motion to particle objects, by enabling the particle's
source to move across the screen. You can choose from a number of predefined
motion paths or create your own custom motion path. The path properties of a
particle object is similar to a PiP object. See Adding Motion to PiP Effects for
detailed information on customizing a particle object's motion.
Utilizing Particle Keyframes
Use keyframes when modifying particle object parameters to define the start and
end points of the customized effects.
Keyframe Timeline
A custom keyframe timeline is generated for each particle effect clip when you
open it in the Particle Designer. In the below example, because the particle effect
clip is 10 seconds long on the project timeline, the keyframe timeline is also 10
seconds.
