Offset the emitter position in Particular
I am trying to make some text as if it were being cut out of a sheet of metal. I found a tutorial at MaxAfter but my text is a bit more complex. I drew out all my paths that I want my emitter to follow but for some reason when I paste those paths in as position markers in the emitter position they seem to be offset. I tried adjusting the anchor point but then that effects my particles when they fall to the ground.
I tried writing an expression but I’m still not an ace on this. Any ideas? -

There’s probably a transform you could use, but it might be simpler to just add x and y slider controls to your particular layer, set them to accept values from -500 to + 500 or so and add this expression to Particular’s Position XY after you paste in the path:
x = effect(“Slider X”)(“Slider”);
y = effect(“Slider Y”)(“Slider”);
value + [x,y]Then just adjust the sliders to zero out the offset.
