  Assistance requested. Trapcode Form stopped working

  Posted by David Cabestany on February 9, 2015 at 2:44 am

  I have a Form system which has a custom particle, which in turn it’s a sequence of images each lasting one frame. My intention is to have each particle to be a different image.

  Everything was working fine until I noticed that first when I scrolled all the particles looked the same and then they would update as soon as I released the scrolling. Then they all disappeared altogether.

  If I change the particle type to any other thing, including custom-current time, custom random loop, sphere, cloudet, etc it all looks fine, but when I go to custom-random still it disappears and there’s no way to make it come back.

  I already tried prerendering the sequence and entering it as an .mov file, didn’t work either.

  Can anyone help please? I have a really bad deadline with this.

  Thanks,
  D.

  P.S. Why can’t I use the words urgent or help on the subject? I had to change it before I could post.

  What version of AE (down to the last decimal)? For example, is it 13.2.0.49?
  What OS? What are your system specs?
  How large is the composition containing your custom particle?
  Have you tried clearing your cache?
