    You need to try out the various alpha render settings in PI, and export to various files.
    Then you need to take these files into Vegas, and try the various alpha settings for the clip (belongs to properties of the clip)
    I cannot remember off the top of my head what is the best, in fact, nothing is “the best”. Some settings a fine for intense partices, other settings a fine for more soft particles and so on.

    The video tutors that cover PI, especially the one by Ahron Rabinowitz, Particle Illusion Fusion Volume 1, covers this topic.
    I purchased the DVD for jsut $10 I think. Look up vieos on creative cow about this topic.
    IU cannot help u further bacause I am not in PI right now, but hope that this was some help in any case, good luck!

  • Sorry about the confusion I introduce by mixing termonolgies. I mean the particle, not the emitter. FTR, I managed to have the particle’s color change over lifetime, but saw no change to the transparency.
    If I want to just change the particle’s tranparency over lifetime, what of the options should I choose? Is there any tutor out there, dealing specifically with this?

  • Ok, thanks.
    I do not, however, understand how I can make the emitter become gradually more and more transparent. Yes, I have tried the various controls, but my emitter remains opaque and then suddenly disappears when its lifetime is over.
