Thanks, Elvis. What SHOULD it be set to in Premiere?

[Paul Hansen]

Thanks for the encouragement, Tim!

Thanks, my friends, I live on encouragement!

Have you looked at Emitters_04_06.il3? There is an emitter there called Simple Slow Smoke. If it is not just what you want, perhaps you could go through it’s properties and see how the smoke is made to rise so slowly and apply it to another emitter.

I don’t know if it works the same on a MAC, but, before you render, do ALT+1 to make sure you have the full resolution and, for the audio, I found this in the PI HELP files: At the bottom of the Output Options dialog is a checkbox called Use audio from layer: followed by a drop menu. These items are only enabled when 1) saving an AVI, and 2) the project contains a background image AVI that contains audio. When this option is checked, the output AVI will use the audio from the bg image AVI — very useful when adding particleIllusion effects to a “finished” AVI that contains audio already. (Note that the audio will be transferred from the bg image AVI to the output AVI in a “direct stream copy” — the audio will not be converted or recompressed.)

And, I suspect you haven’t changed the number of frames in the little upper right hand white window that lists the default # of frames for the video. Change it to the number of frames in the video you want to which you want to add effects.

Thanks, Alan… I guess I will just use the “Load Library” function then… my C drive is pretty filled up!

[Paul Hansen]

I moved the library to a different drive but kept the name “Emitters Library”. When I do, “Load Library…” The program has no problem finding all the libraries and I can load them from there but not from “Quick load library”

Or, take a look at this little video I made: https://phansen.ca/Champagne4.wmv

Thanks! I am truly flattered!
