need to find this sparkle transition or the plugin responsible

	need to find this sparkle transition or the plugin responsible by Ron Coy on Jul 1, 2008 at 10:56:25 pm I need to recreate a commercial for a client and though I could probably get away with a different transition, I would really like to use the same one he already has, or at least be able to, in case he is married to this one. I'm almost positive all of this was done in LiveType and Final Cut Pro, or maybe Motion, but I don't have Motion (we're still on Final Cut Pro prior to Studio here... don't ask) I have access to Motion elsewhere, if it's absolutely necessary, but I would like to use After Effects instead if it's not a FCP plugin. The transition is here: http://www.roncoy.com/Media/sparkletransition.mp4 and below, in color. Also, I have simulated the particles in this using Livetype, but I'm not sure if that is how they were originally created or if someone knows of a plugin for that as well. http://www.roncoy.com/Media/sparkleparticles.mp4 Thanks in advance.

Im 90% sure that is what they used, especially on the second animation. I love that program, its so versatile. You may want to ask this same question on the particle illusion forum, and ask them which emitters to use.

	Re: need to find this sparkle transition or the plugin responsible by Ron Coy on Jul 1, 2008 at 11:50:30 pm I'll check that out. Does particle illusion affect text or images like this is doing though? I mean, it's using the color values of the images/text to color the sparkles in the transition. I was under the impression that it was only a particle generator. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: need to find this sparkle transition or the plugin responsible by scott novasic on Jul 1, 2008 at 11:55:58 pm yes is the answer. 2 ways. Output your particles in PI and in after effects use an overlay and luminance composting mode. Or import your scene INTO PI and you can set the particles to take on the color of the background image.....
