I couldn't open up your file the first two times I downloaded it, seems to work now though.
The key thing you seem to be missing is that you haven't hidden the background image on frame 58 by following the steps in the second paragraph. Other than that, all you really need is to add a lot more particles and play around with the Weight, Velocity and Motion Randomness so that the particles scatter nicely.

I'm having probs with this tut, but mostly because I'm a complete newbie to this, so pardon my questions. When I bring in the background image on a new layer, I uncheck the Hold Last Frame box. However, there is no "End" box under Sequence/AVI. Just a "Start Project at Frame X" box. I'm assuming that I imported the file incorrectly (It's bg.png).

I'm also missing the start and end fields in the Background Image property box. There are a start/end fields to fill in for sequence or avi in the tutorial image. Anyone know why the end field is not there?
