  • Controlling Already Spawned Particles with CC Particle World?

    Posted by Aaron Ramos on September 17, 2014 at 12:31 am

    So I’ve been working on a project for a while focusing mainly on the aspects of Audio. Right now I got the keyframes and everything, but Im having some difficulty with CC Particle World. I can’t seem to find a way to make affect particles that are already spawned, and rather am only able to control what happens to to newly spawned ones, not existing ones.

    Im trying to create an effect like the video has done so below with the particles in the background, the Stop-and-Go effect.

    Rather new to the forums, so if I should be posting somewhere else, please tell me.

    I think that was done with Trapcode Particular, keyframing the Physics Time. You could probably do that with CC Particle world, by creating your particles and look, precomping the effect(move all attributes into new composition), then adding a Time Remap to your precomp. Then just adjust the time to start/stop/ramp the particles.
