Listen David,
The best way to work with particle illusion is not to
render out a finished shot from it, but to render out the
particles/effects in a image sequence with an alpha
channel…(eg in targa format).
THEN, bring that in vegas where you composite it in your project.
Avi Raylight files opens in Particle illusion,
But You only need to import a file in particle illusion
as a reference to get your effects arranged correctly.
