Is it possible to make particles shoot outwards from the edges of a mask? For instance, if I create a mask from text, how can I make the particles start from the edge of the mask and fire outwards?
Awesome! Thanks very much for the response. That helps a great deal. I’m definitely holding out, wondering if there might be any announcements at NAB. I’m also debating the possibility of switching to PC. The cost appears to be much lower and since FCP 7 will likely be the last iteration of that software I use, perhaps it makes more sense overall.
