I can get very close to this shatter effect with the AE shatter effect but cannot seem to get the DOF as shown in the above example

Thank you this really helped!! I’ve built the particle in form then using it in particular, no idea where to start trying to build this effect in form

[Chris Reynolds]

here is my best attempt based on the tutorial you posted, I just can’t seem to get the particles to move any slower, the velocity is set to 0.0, and i’ve mucked around with the air physics to no avail,

My AE project file is attached

Thanks, I had already been through this tutorial 3 or 4 times, all I could mange to do was build a realistic drop in form and grade it to match the scene, getting the particles to move the way I want them to however has left me very frustrated!

also the effect around the 1:42 mark 🙂

here is a link to one of my tests,
https://www.appendixj.org.au/twixtortest-720HD.mov

the main problem can be seen in the camera right hand, and slightly in the other hand.

So do I need to make a tracked mask/matte in something like after effects and import the peices of footage wih transpartent backgrounds into fcp? I still don’t understand how how to to tell twixtor to use these masks, and what actualy needs to be masked in the first place.

yes im shooting a 60fps and conformingto 24/25 with cinema tools, also shooting with higher shutter speeds to make the images sharper which seems to help twixtor.

I am getting some pretty good results but still have unwanted artifacts appearing.

I can’t think of any other way to reduce this!

I have read the manual but it’s not making much sence. I know how to make a very basic matte/mask in fcp. But how do i make a mask that follows my subject in the foreground that i want to be clear and in twixtor slow mo? and how do I tell twixtor to use that mask!?
