Thanks for this! Will see what I can do and circle back.

This is to be embedded for web and either safari or firefox utilizes quicktime player for the video I believe.

You’re right. That rendering doesn’t look half bad. I think I’ll keep fiddling with it. If I were to switch over to try out Form would it be as straightforward as Particular? Really there should be presets for something like this already… maybe there are somewhere.

I don’t know guys. Trying this again…
Having a tough time wrangling the particles to behave how I’d like. I guess scrap my previous files… uploaded more current ones. Perhaps part of the problem is that rather than the particles look like it’s making up the text when it expands it just looks like it’s still emitting.

Ah, particular seems like the correct direction. Now, when I set a LayerEmit layer on the text comp, it just seems like I’m emitting particles from the text vs. the particles forming the text… what am I missing here? It seems like if I set some keyframes on the direction spread% from 0-some number I can sort of simulate this expanding and contracting motion.
After looking into this some more, I realized what I’m looking to do is a bit different than the standard particle disintegration you see examples of everywhere. I THINK what I want is for there to be no dimension, all the particles are on a flat surface (disc size 5 or something)… there is a set number of particles all the same size that make up the letters (400-500), they expand then contract.

Ah yes! And then maybe there could be a couple layers of flame with some slight random opacity or something.

Wow, at first glance it does look like that would be a really good distort effect for this. Would there be a way to set some randomizer on some of the parameters for that effect? Something like…
seedRandom(6);
wiggle(.8,15);on the different parameters?

lol. i have no problem. i just always think the pros have a better way of doing everything! i’ll just make two layers.
