How to create glowing particle string that ebb and flow back and forth
I’d like to overlay two different effects to create movement. the fist it like a string of particles wrapping around an image, like a trophy. It looks a bit like this

Secondly I’d like to create bouncing light lines that emanate from the edges of an object. This is the closest style I can find to what i’d like to do

To achieve the first one, maybe create the line, then use an animated noise to break it up and add DOF effects etc.
2nd one, i dont think theres a way around needing particles, most likely particular

CC Particle World can be linked to a 3D null, and then animated to move around a object. You can have it go behind an object using the Extra’s setting Composite with Original.
Fiddling with the birth rate will get the look about right.
As for particles bouncing from the edges, I think you would be looking to pay for a plug-in like Trapcode Particular, unless you weren’t doing a camera move, then could possibly fake it using Turbulent Dislace.
