  Problem when using Particle world effect with parent camera to null layer?

  Posted by Vuong Nguyen on August 13, 2012 at 6:58 pm

  I started to make a text logo video.
  I created 1 text layer and 1 solid layer for particle world and created 1 3D null layer then parent camera layer with it.
  After that, I modified some value on particle: gravity, x,y,z position to make particle rain.
  The problem is that if I change z position of 3d Null layer, I can see both text layer and Particle layer move following the z axis. But when I set keyframe at 3d null layer’s position, just text layer moved to the z axis, the particle layer doesn’t change any thing.
  Can somebody tell me what is going on? I followed exactly a tutorial from videocopilot.

  Here is af file: https://www.mediafire.com/?4wahxat8k85dbgi

  In your file you are only keyframing the text, not the null. I keyframed the null and it worked fine.

  Here’s you file with some changes: 4528_textv2.aep.zip

  I know that, but can you see the layer Particle that does not move, just layer text. I dont know why when i did it in AE cs5.5 it is ok, but in CS6 i can’t do that.
