  • Reverse /invert star field particle emitter

    Posted by Joe Coyle on October 9, 2011 at 11:55 pm

    Hi

    I am new to motion so please be patient with me :). I have added the star field particle emitter to the canvas, and can see the stars are flying towards me. How can I reverse the effect so that the stars fly away from me in the opposite direction?

    Thanks
    Joe

    Is this for use within Motion itself or as a clip in Final Cut? If the star field will be used as a clip within Final Cut, you could just render it out from Motion as a movie and then in Final Cut go into the Speed setting for the clip and set it to reverse.
