In particleIllusion, after clicking on the emitter you have chosen, you simply click again in the 'Stage' window on the interface's left. This is not a negative, it is simply a bit different and using the tutorials explained everything as I went along. Starting off with the tutorials was almost mandatory as applying the emitters was accomplished differently than one might do in Motion.

The caveat is that there is much to learn as, fortunately, the editor and user of particleIllusion has full access to an extraordinary number of parameter adjustments for any segment of the library emitters. Provided several extensive and well-organized tutorials with the download that enables you to learn the program at your own pace. There is a learning curve as can be expected with any application that offers so much in the way of layering and parameter flexibility. ParticleIllusion appears to have been designed for the intermediate and advanced editor. When I first installed particleIllusion on my DP 2GHz G5 with the 9800 Radeon video card, I was faced with a different interface than I had been familiar with, however the PI interface is user friendly and getting used to it occurred quickly. Individual emitters can also be transferred to the user's own 'favorites' library folder for quick and easy access. I found that those labeled by month are best retitled by the user according to type so as to easily find them once again. By right clicking the library manager one can go to any of the different sub-libraries to open up any of the many emitter collections. Supplied with a default library of almost 60 emitters, the user of particleIllusion is provided with the link to download additional libraries consisting of over 1400 additional emitters all in one file. ParticleIllusion 3.0 (there is currently a 3.0.1 download available) is not a plug in but is a complete standalone application capable of some truly excellent effects delivering a myriad number of possibilities when producing comet streaks, explosions, fire and sparkles, smoke, weather effects and watery applications within a digital production.

Having heard so much about it from my PC editing associates, all I could do was bide my time and hope they came out with a Mac version.

This is one piece of software I have been looking forward to reviewing. Wondertouch particleIllusion 3.0.1 for OS-X Hmmm, I just tried importing an AE saved file into Premiere and I got an error saying that Dynamic Link is only available with Adobe Production Studio, I only bought Premiere 2.0 and AFter Effects 7 with a student discount, so I didn't get the production studio.Wondertouch particleIllusion 3.0 for OS-X I can do the compositing easily enough in After Effects, but I'd like to be able to do it in Premiere without having to render first, obviously option B is the easiest.Does anyone know how it's done?Īlso, if I have to do it the long way, can DV-AVI be exported many times without losing quality? IE there wont be a difference in quality between the original footage and the footage that's been composited on in AE and then exported and brought back into Premiere?

A question to those who use Particle Illusion with Premiere.Ī) Render out the clip that the effect will be on with Premiere and use it as a background in PI, apply the particle effect and then render as a separate clip and replace it with the original in Premiere?ī) Make the effect against a Black background and export as a series of TIF (Or other files that support Alpha Channels), then bring it into premiere (How do you bring 100s of images into Premiere as a each-image-is-a-single-frame sequence, like you can in After Effects?) and then key out the black/alpha channel?
