    I’m stuck… I purchased the upgrade to Mac AE, but can’t seem to get it activated… it’s showing up, at least the preview window is, in AE as a trial version… however, nothing happens when I apply an emitter to the footage… is that because it’s a trial version? I apply the affect as instructed and… nothing. The footage remains unaffected… am I supposed to use the “add” transfer mode or something I’m missing… should the effect be applied to a solid layer?

    In trial mode you should see particles. When the trial period is up, you’ll see particles with a red X. Are you seeing the red X, or nothing?

    Try turning “Fast Previews” to a setting that doesn’t use OpenGL and see if that makes a difference.

    Try it on a solid too. It should work on footage, but maybe something weird is going on.
