For anyone getting a black ball when you change the gravity to zero, make sure you used the pick whip to tether the EFFECT’s Position to the path you created, not just the layer’s position (under the transform options). Thanks @Monique Golan for suggesting this. Also make sure you’re viewing the animation when the particle is actually moving. If it stays still, it’s just going to look like a black ball.

I love how you go step by step and are very clear! However, in 2024 I'm having a hard time with just finding the "express position" part at about 4:30 in the video, because I just don't see it. Has AE updated so that it's a different step now? I'm a beginner with this program, but am very experienced with Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign, and have some experience with basic animation from a long time ago. Hope you can help!

why my magic particle has no tail ?

@jbalien20 Жыл бұрын

Ok. When I started the pen tool, no new layer was automatically created as shown on the video. The pen tool is on the particle motion layer.

@trpizinth 3 жыл бұрын

This is so good! Thank you. But why when i change gravity to 0 it becomes a ball and not a trail?

@kolmaris 3 жыл бұрын

same here, kind of a bummer

@moniquegolan9102 3 жыл бұрын

I had this problem and realised it was because I was using the wrong position property, I was using the transform position property instead of the position property in the Producer, this fixed it for me :)

@thekaratecorner Жыл бұрын

Yes, this was it for me! Thank you! Also, make sure that you play it back when the particle is actually supposed to be moving. It stays still it’ll just look like a black ball

I'm stuck at the very beginning. How do I get forms with the pen tool? I only get paths and the littel star and mask sympols at the top are greyed out.

Im literally doing everything you are doing step by step but i can not get my position to move after pasting

@LayerAce 4 жыл бұрын

Please follow closely. Did you get the null object moving? to copy path of the shape layer line go to shape layer/contents/shape1/path1/ and inside is a path with stopwatch icon you have to copy that and paste on your null onbjects position.

LayerAce you were saying Ctrl (V) o thought you were saying Ctrl (P) once I figured I out it worked.
