  Freeze Particle Playground

  Posted by Nick Maschinski on July 28, 2008 at 8:35 pm

  Is there a way to freeze the particles in Particle Playground at a specific keyframe, move them, and then start them back up from where they ended?

  I suposse that the easiest way to achieve this effect is by using Time Remap.
  After you add the Particle Playground effect, Pre-compose that layer (CTRL+Shift+C) and then Right-Click the pre-comp then go to “time” and finally “Enable Time Remap”
  Two keyframes will be created, one at the start and a second one at the end. In the timeline go to the part where you want the particles to freeze and add a keyframe. Then copy that keyframe and paste it where you want the animation to continue. Then you just have to play a little with the position to move the the layer where you wish.

  Hope It Helps.
