    I recently downloaded Trapcode Particular and need a little guidance. Using the “Fire on Text” within the Pyro Pack: I can obviously change the text to place the fire on whatever word I want, but, what is the best way to create it multiple times for different words within the same timeline? Each time I change the word in the base composition it changes all of the words down the line and I can’t seem to get it to duplicate so that I can have multiple words with the same effect. I tried building the same thing that Trapcode provided but to no avail.

    So again, my question is that, I want to use the Trapcode Particular “Text on Fire” on multiple words…How might I accomplish this?

    Thanks

    You need to duplicate your layer. Particular won’t allow you multiple instances of it on the same layer. Alternatively, animate your words in a sub-comp and use that sub-comp as the emitter layer. Also make sure your layer sampling is set to “At Birth”, not “Current Time”.
