I spent an entire afternoon trying to figure out a way to orient the particle emitter to the path. You are the ONLY person who thought to include that, in like 3 hours worth of tutorials I watched.
I don't get why nobody but you saw the need to do this, but there it is. ty for this.
I didnt get it how?
Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Perfect for what I needed, really easy to follow and worked great first time. Thank you so so much!
Thanks man! I'm nearing the end of a project where particle world comes into play; this really covered an effect I was hoping to figure out.
Josh, it is an amazing tutorial, I really enjoy learning, wow! the knowledge that you have, Thank you!
Josh this a wonderful tutorial using for a Class in AE on Particles, Thank You! You are truly amazing!

Best tutorials
I dont know you but I love you
Thanks, Mr. Quack
Hey! Thank you so much for the video. Fantastic content, you're an awesome teacher!
Just wondering - are your project file downloads still available? The download buttons don't seem to be connected to working links.
Thank you this is very detailed and well presented. Would it be possible then to track a hand movement and then apply particles to that?
MAGIC!!!😍
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm really grateful for all the awesome stuff that you teach on the channel! Just a small request though. Can you perhaps try to zoom in on the panels when you adjust and tweak stuff? Even on fullscreen on a fairly large monitor, the interface looks small and cluttered and it can get difficult at times. Keep up the great work!
I likenhos style of no nonsense full speed work along as fast as you can then rewind. Really really helping me learn.
Thanks alot 👌
Great. Best particle effect creation without third party / trap code particular /
thanx bro ,, really appreciate
Amazing!
Nice!
This is a freaking amazing tutorial dude, thank you sooo much. And thank you for remembering to verbally state what keys you push at certain times, like alt click for the positioning. Makes it so much easier to follow.
If I could ask one question, is there a way to add new particle shapes? Like 5 pointed stars and stuff?
Try this: Import the png of the image that you want to be the particle. Drag that png on to the comp and shut the eye off on its layer. Next, Inside of the Effect Controls twirl down "particle" and next to "particle type" choose "textured square". Then twirl down "texture". "Texture Layer" gives you the option to choose the source from your comp to be the particle.
u are the best i only understand ur tutorials
Thank You 🙏
Thanks a lot!!!!
Bless up.. Thanks..
Ez pz, thanks 👍
Might wanna check the expression for Z though. Had to mess around with it because the copy/paste one you gave seemed to be firing errors off with that 2 for some reason. Got it working fine though.
Hey Josh, really good videos! Loving it! How do you made your name poping in letter by letter effect? I love it! So smooth
thank you sir
Very nice
thankyouuuuu!!!
can you make the particles follow the path and then split off into multiple directions?
Nice tutorial Joshua (Y) It would be great if you could explain to me what those expressions doing to the properties? Thanks :)
First Comment>>>From Egypt !!All my Support
thanks bro
Excellent job
Superb bro!
Thank you so much!
Keep it up!
😍💛🧡🦋👍😱😘💜🌹☘️🌷💚❤️🍦💞♥️
is this possible with trapcode particular > . < thank u sm for all the amazing tutorials !
You my friend, have earned +1 sub
Thanks for subbing :)
Thank You For the Great trick 😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😋😋😋😋
You are so slick with Ae Man! Ill be hitting you up on the Discord some day when im better at making stuff like you!
Could you use this simulated effect to make fireworks? Im planning on a title similar to this but instead of a path (or in addition to the path) i am going to creat 7 fireworks (1 central, 3 scaled and symetrically palced around the main one)
Kewp the up the BRILLIANT work! Thank you so so much Josh👊
Incredible 😍😍🔥
you can download the project from the link to Google drive and send it to me, please
@@olekksandr the link is in description
@@HasmieMusic after clicking download writes the file will not find
@@olekksandr it's there i believe... If not, report to sounduck film. He made it free
I really want to buy that pack from CinePunch but can you just clarify if i purchase the extended licence does that mean I can use elements within the pack multiple times for different end products?
Great turorial Josh. Bur when I past the mask path in the position it doesn't.
Hey! This has been super helpful, thank you so much for making this! I did have another question - is there a way to i.e. draw or import shapes yourself to use as particles?
Yes, select Texture square in particle type
Great tutorial and channel. My only complain is the is to hard to see the value you input because the letters are so small to see them.
Thank you for your amazing tutorial! I have a quick question: am I allowed to copy and paste these expressions into my work project for both commercial and non-commercial use?
I am not going to remember anything after this tutorial ^_^ i didnt know expression scripts are a big part of AE!
I LOVE YOU
Hello Joshua. How to do the logo reveal that comes in the beginning of the video that is the SONDUCKFILM's logo reveal ? Please tell me.
Im a graphic design student and I really like your tutorials I've been following quite a few to help with some projects. But theres some like this where you don't explain how you made the title. I wanted to see how you did the title as well but can't exactly do that if I can't download. On your website after I press download a 404 page pops up.
Hello! The tutorial works fine when the camera is in its default position but when I rotate it to the left along the Y-axis, I can't make the movement work. The particles are good but the lens flare was always off the screen. They were not moving in the same position. Can anyone help how to fix this?
I do everything right but when I create the new particles layer, and do the particle world, nothing shows up on screen. no particles. I see the layer etc...
AMAZING! thanks for support whit the tutorial
i followed this tutorial but my particles seem really mashed together and not really spread out like yours..any advice?
Where did these expressions come from ???? and my project and paths are different! so this video basically works for just this tutorial and not anything else!
Thank you for this tutorial, it was helpful to create a trail. Is it at all possible to animate particles like that to go along a path very slowly, for a full 6 minutes, but have them leave a trail behind them that doesn't vanish, and instead keeps generating particles? When I increase longevity to 700 seconds, and tune velocity, resistance and birth rate to fit the width of my trail, the particles basically become motionless. Is there any way to fix this and make the particles move?
Hey I know it’s 8 months later but you simply need to duplicate your path and connect it
Nice video......how can we this without expression....tell me
you"re basically rapping, thanks for the tutorial
Hey, good video but it is awfully difficult for me to see the text on your screen on a 15.6 laptop. Could you zoom in on them? It would help a lot! Thanks
can u add the key command at screen pls? im not an english native so i try to follow mostly by looking at the screen lol :'D
good
what if my mask change size? and i can't change the size when its pasted in Position
I wasnt able to do this step regarding the pasting part of the expressions you mentioned .. its actually not pasting not in the effect controls neither on the time line .. please can you tell me what to do in this case
Is there an explanation of the Expressions used here? I can't quite fathom it, simple as it is.
Hey, what if we are creating particle system in case. how will this expression work there?. can you help me on that
You dont need to copy and paste any code you can attach the simulation to the curve just like you attached the null object
is there a way to make to diferent trails ?
Josh, what could be going wrong and my particles (object) doesn't follow the path? Thanks in advance
Hi Josh! After I draw my path is there a way to move the path to another location on the comp; I need to move the whole path a little to the right...is there a way to do that?
there is a way to offset the whole path left, right, up or down!
you can replace target.position[0] with (target.position[0] +/- offset). for example, to offset my path 200px to the right, i used the following code in the x expression:
target = thisComp.layer("Path");
((target.position[0] + 200) - (thisComp.width/2))/thisComp.width;
this would also work with a vertical offset, i could move the particle's entire path up by using this code in the y expression:
target = thisComp.layer("Path");
((target.position[1] - 300)-(thisComp.height/2))/thisComp.width;
How would one do this if the shape consists of more than 5 paths?
Hi dear, i was trying to apply your way but it couldn’t be pasted thr expressions on thr xy position (effects) may you help me or suggest another way?
