    Hi there,

    I wish I had a more eloquent way of describing this effect. I see it everywhere, which leads me to think it is an effect and not hand done with masks etc.

    An example of this effect can be found here (in the beautiful animation)

    (video Letras del tesoro)

    I’m specifically thinking about the blue, blue and orange swirls that create the logo near the end of the video (before turning yellow and flying off)

    If anyone can help me here, I would be so grateful. Apologies if it’s a stupid question!

    Michael 🙂

    Google “Trapcode.” Those blobs at the end look like they could have been done with Particular, and the swirls look like they were done with 3D Stroke, both Trapcode plug-ins.
