Best Fireworks Plugin for AE
I’m specifically looking for the best fireworks plugin. I have DigiEffects Delirium,
but I’m looking for a little more realism. A particle plugin that can also create
good fire/smoke would be a bonus.Thanks,

How ’bout Trapcode Particular?
Look at the demos on http://www.trapcode.com and the clips (in the Pyro Pack if I’m not mistaken), they’re very realistic!
Good luck.

Buy some stock footage of fireworks or wait till July and shoot ’em yourself.
All fireworks simulations look like they are simulations, even Trapcode’s. It takes a lot of work to introduce such chaotic randomness as air movements and misfiring payloads into a simulation. Today’s audiences see simulations immediately and this can seriously detract form your communications efforts. Depends on your need for realism.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Thanks for the suggestions. Stock footage is a good idea, but I was looking for more control of the colors & an alpha channel as well. I checked out the Trapcode Particular plugin and I think I’ll go with that. No, I didn’t believe I was at a celebration on the Fourth of July, but it seems pretty impressive & versatile (and luckily, not out of my price range).
Thanks Again!
