    Thank you for your help. See this awesome clip –

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr1oCf0JRbs

    watch at :20sec and :33sec (words break up into little square particles and at :33 they break apart, float and form another words).

    Is it something that can be done through trapcode particular. or if not which tool can help ? would you suggest any direction ?

    Trapcode Form is probably easier for something like that, but Particular can be used.

    Thank you John for your help but I don’t know how to do it in particular or form, could you please suggest any tutorial or way to do it ?

    Follow most any “text to sand” tutorial and do it for both words. Precompose one of those and time remap it so that it’s time-reversed. Then fade the two together. (That’s one way.)

    If you use Form to break it apart with your text in a precomp, you could simply change the precomp and then undo all your text breaking apart business. Again, there are several tutorials out there for using Form like this.
