  • Video inside particles?

    Posted by Adam Farron on April 28, 2015 at 12:06 am

    Whether it be with plexus, or cc particle world, I want video to be in my particles. Like, not just a matte layer, I mean like, each bubble has the video inside of it. Any ideas?

    Also, is particle to video possible? As in, a whole bunch of particles slowly start forming to make video all together

    Simply place your video in a precomp and use that precomp as the texture for your particles.

    You could use Shatter to make lots of particles coming together to form a video.
    CC Pixel Poly would also do it.
    So would CC Ball Action.
    So would CC Scatterize.
    Pretty sure you could do that with Form too.

    That solves the last part but what about the video inside particles?

    Read the first part of my post. You can us a precomp as the texture for particles. Put a video in a precomp.

    What particle effect are you using?
