I don’t think I have an answer to this one. I might be able to figure it out if I looked at the code long enough, but there are a lot of variables.
– framerate of the project
– if any of the particle types in the emitter use a non-zero number variation
– if you’re using the “use old number calculation” optionHere’s what I suggest you do:
1) load the “blank” emitter library
2) adjust the “number” property to 1
3) determine the time between each particle’s creationThen you can use this for your own calculations.

There is no way past the 10000 frame limit, and I would hate to see how particleIllusion responds when working at such a high frame number.
The only reason you’d ever need to use a particleIllusion project that is that long is if you have emitters going the entire time, with no breaks at all. Even then there is a workaround.
First, the smartest thing to do is break the extrememly long video into smaller parts… let’s say 5000 frames each (I’d probably use a smaller number like 2000). Use points in the video where there will be breaks in the emitters. Then work on each section as its own project.
Use your video editing software to put the pieces back together.

You can get a greyscale (black and white) rendering by turning on display of the alpha channel in the stage window and rendering that way. Don’t “save alpha”.
You’ll end up with the alpha channel data in the RGB channels.
Make sense?

Try switching pIRender to use software rendering. Run pIRender, click the Options button, then uncheck the hardware acceleration button.
If this works, then you should check if there are updated video drivers for your card.

You’ll have to sacrifice frame 1, as layer offset needs 2 data keys to work (in your case set them at frames 1 and 2)

Is it an area emitter? If so, use the “area emitter mask” option instead of transparency.

What sort of script? Check the “others” page of our downloads page.

This video explains that exact thing:
