making a logo look like fireworks
Hi Does anyone know how to make this logo (just the red part)look like a firework? https://www.dpacoms.com/images/finallay/Experience/Casestudiespic/hamleys.jpg
Basically I trying to make the letters sparkle after exploding abit like those fireworks with writing. I am after 3 different firework explosions. One normal fire work in one corner of the screen the second in the other corner of the screen and the grand finale of the logo firework in the centre. I have the original logo if anyone wants to have a try.

I think you might need to buy Trapcode Particular for this. It allows you to use a layer as a Particle emitter. You could hide the logo layer, use it as an emitter, then fade up another logo layer to resolve it at the end.
Anyway, here’s something on the Trapcode site that might help you:
https://www.trapcode.com/help/particular/layer_emitter.htmlYou might want Trapcode Starglow as well.

Try this:
1. The logo has to be a layer with transparency around the letters. Add it to the comp. Make it 3D.
2. Add a camera.
3. Add a solid to the comp and apply Particular. Leave it as 2D, of course.
4. In Particular, set the emitter to the logo layer, set the direction to Directional, and set the particle type to Glow Sphere. Add a bit of gravity.
5. Maybe apply stylize>glow to the Particular layer.That’s it. After that, you’ll want to tweak it for the look.
Now that’s the best that I can do here, but if you Google “trapcode”, “particular” and “fireworks”, you’ll get more info, including some presets and projects. You might also check the Trapcode COW forum.

Can also be done with CC Particle — umm, I forget which one — you can use the alpha of a layer as the emitter shape. Not nearly as flexible and lovely as Trapcode’s particle options but I use CC particle systems often (cuz I odn’t have Trapcode).
bogiesan.
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
