I didn’t really look at the example. This was a blind shot and I was under the impression he needed a specific feature of the organic lines preset. Apart from that, I rarely use the PTF unless need be, since it changes the entire evaluation of the particle system. I would have come up with a different solution, I think. But hey, use whatever gets the job done.

Don’t have the book handy, but I think they just duplicated the layer a bunch of times and turned the audio off. You cannot really copy and paste layer markers.

Ohmigosh, neither of you sees the obvious (not meaning to be rude here): The motion of the t_OrganicLines preset is created by:

a) the emission itself (Velocity)
b) the Turbulence field

Nothing really moves, so how can you expect it to follow a path if there is none? Basically all you need to do is

a) Load the preset.
b) Set Emission Velocity to Zero
c) Change Emitter Direction to Uniform
d) Change Emitter Shape to Sphere
e) Adjust Velocity from Motion
f) Adjust Lifespan and Emission Rate of the Aux System
g) Adjust the Turbulence field

I m not exactly sure I understand what you mean, but mask data is 2-dimensional and will end up in the X and Y position values. Z is just left empty (assumed to be zero). If that’s your problem, just switch the values using a simple expression.

X=position[0];
Y=position[2];
Z=position[1];

[X,Y,Z]

Don’t worry, these are just a few typos(among even more) in this tute. OUT and IN refer to the in- and out-points of the layer in the timeline and the values are indeed meant for the scale parameter.

Nope, you can’t. If use this adjustments, you have to copy & paste everything to the other layer. Some parameters can be adjusted with multiple layers selected, though, so give that a shot.

Just pickwhip the position parameter in addition to the source text. They are treated separately by AE.
