Sorry, I tried to upload a screen shot of the effect and expressions, but didn’t work.
Expression that works:
4 color gradientPoint2: effect(“4-Color Gradient”)(“Point 1”).valueAtTime(time – .5)
Does not work:
Point 2: effect(“4-Color Gradient”).param(propertyIndex – 2).valueAtTime(time – .5)Johnny Cuevas, Editor

If you have CS5, you probably have media encoder, I would use that, a very handy little program.

I know I have read it on Andrew’s forums, but I couldn’t find the post anymore. Anyway, SureTarget has a problem when there is only 1 target, it jumps around, blinks…add a 2nd target and your problems will be solved.

Go to https://www.videocopilot.net/ and check out the SureTarget Tutorials. They created a preset/plugin that is incredible for doing exactly what you saw.
Tutorials: 82, 83 and 101

Create your composition, add solid, apply particular.
Emitter
Particles/sec = 10
Emitter type = box.
Emitter position XY = middle of comp, bottom of comp(ie in a 872,486 comp = 436,486)
Direction = directional
X Rotation = +90
Emitter size x = width of comp
Emitter size y = 50
Emitter size z = 10Particle
Particle type – Glow Sphere
Size = 50
Size random = 50
Color random = 86%(there a bunch of different ways to get random color, sample from a gradient, precompose a layer that samples the color….)
opacity random = 25%
Transfer mode = add.These settings will give you a pretty good start, experiment from there, particle life, opacity over life…
Good luck

Todd, I just said exactly that. Just without the cool website, pictures, precise definition and the authority that comes with actually working for AE.

Screen shot would help, but it sounds like you may need to do this on seperate layers.
The guitar would be on the top layer and masked out. The bottom layer would contain your other footage keyed out. You could then precomp the entire thing.

You don’t need a big comp with CC Particle world. Assuming your other settings are correct, to do what you need to do, you just need to adjust your producer setting(Radius X, Radius Y, Radius Z).
I’m not exactly sure how they work mathematically-but in a recent project using sure target and particle world, I set them at 4.0 each and didn’t overshoot the particles.
