Thanks Paul, It worked. But unfortunately it didn’t work for the thing i’m trying to achieve. I want to create a writing effect with the trapcode Particular plugin. In the tutorial the path of the emitter is arranged with the expression (wiggle(.5,100). I Changed this path the path of the tracker. So i imported the image-sequence and used a null-object for the motion target and pickwhip the position of the emitter to nulls position.

I would expect this to work but it doesn’t. Hope you see what I’m trying to accomplish here and could give me some tips.

Well.. here’s what i’m trying to achieve. I have this great robot that is modeled in Maya. I want it to write a text in free space. De text should be written with the trapcode particular plugin. In the tutorial the emitter is linked to the light. That’s why i’m refering to the light I want to animate. If you have a better solution I’m happy to hear it.

So in Maya i’m going to animate the finger of the robot along an motionpath. This motionpath is the text he’s going to write. It would be great if I could export this animationpath (or a locator that is paranted) to AE so i can link the trapcode plugin to it.

Hope you kind of get the idea what i’m trying to do here.
