Can’t tell from the screengrab, but that appears to be the position graph, and since you (or I) used “record position” there are keys at every frame. When you say you want to change the “start time of the particle moving across the curve” I assume you mean the start time of the emitter?
Let’s take a simple example. Add any simple point emitter to the stage at frame 1. Then jump to frame 30 and move the emitter so it should now take 30 frames to move in a straight line. With that stage emitter still selected, Copy it (using Edit menu, ctrl or cmd-c, or by r-clicking on it in the stage). Now make sure you’re at frame 30 and Paste using the Edit menu or ctrl or cmd-V — not the r-click method. The new emitter will act just like the original, but will start at frame 30.
Suppose we now want that one to start at frame 10 instead of 30, but leave everything else about it the same. With it selected use Cut (ctrl-X), move to frame 10, then Paste.
If you use the r-click Paste option, it repositions the emitter at the click point, but the other methods don’t change the position.
Hope this helps.

That’s an OpenGL redraw issue. Maybe driver-related?

Open the emitter properties dialog for the stage emitter.
Select the “Crystals” particle type in the hierarchy at the left
In the middle pane set the “random range” value to 0 (it’s at 60 right now)That’s it.
There are some growing icicle emitters already. Use particleView and search for “icicle”.

Tony — sorry I didn’t see this earlier!
You’ve never been able to make the particles bigger by using any on-screen controls, but maybe you mean an ellipse or area emitter? You can still change the radius and/or width/height by grabbing the emitter handle while in “select” mode.

Hi Kevin!
Complete guess, but what if you try 1920 x 1920 — does that work?
That LW script is probably so out of date, there may be something simple that needs to be modified.

There is none. For some reason the PAR is being set to something other than 1.0 internally when the file is saved. Force your viewer application to show square pixels (ignore PAR).

pI3 renders WYSIWYG — the entire “stage” area must be visible in the stage window at 100% zoom or you won’t get true output.
It’s weird, but always worked that way.
