Text from particules

[Steve Roberts]

Try applying the shatter effect, rendering, then reversing the playback of the rendered clip.

You might want to look for the COW tutorial that lets you blow away text like sand … to get ideas on how to make tiny particles.

There’s also CC Pixelpoly. You need to set the grid to very small (2 or 3) to look like particles, but it does work. Then, as Steve said above, reverse the layer.
