You can always just copy the Mask data straight into the Particular Position...I did find I need to use Keyframe Assistant/Time-Reverse Keyframes to get the path to follow.

[@Quick_VFX]

That's a great tip for After Effects users! Copying mask data to particle positions can be a quick way to get intricate animations synced up. And yes, using Keyframe Assistant or Time-Reverse Keyframes can be a great help in controlling the timing and flow of the animation. Thanks for sharing your process, and if you have any other After Effects techniques or queries, let's discuss!

[@oris_stihi]

Thank you for clarifying how null works, very helpful!

[@Quick_VFX]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrDmonahan96]

Hey, your videos are great. I can't get the tale of my particle to whip around like yours. It just moves in one direction, following the masked path. any ideas there?

[@KuroMai]

omg finally! all the other tutorial (30mn most of the time) for just this and none where working. Yours works perfectly and it's very easy to follow. thank you!

[@BONGUYT]

I am a noob gamer, who tried to make his own LOGO instead of copying or buying it, and here i am ended up watching and practicing hours of tutorials about AE and PS. :P I'm loving it though. Thanks for the video.

[@chavakano54]

Very cool, used it to mark a cars path on a map.!!!

[@grundvater]

Klasse Trick. Thank you.

[@OliverShore]

Great tutorial. I found that if you follow the steps and then go to the particular presets and choose the blue or orange "light streaks" pre set it yields even greater results. Thanks quickvfx

[@haripraxi]

It's cool. Thank for sharing.

[@dompower500]

Excellent tutorial

[@allawagner9993]

Very good tut, straight to the point

[@MMchannels]

Nice one

[@JBiggs54442]

Works with particle playground also

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

Requires trapcode. It's nice to state that in the description.

[@Quick_VFX]

Turn on "Aux System" to get the rainbow effect

[@Rollerrickk]

how can i make the light standing on that place ? very good tutorial

[@scottstevens5481]

Thank you. Great video! Can this be done with Adobe CC Particle World?

[@MLeonardReel]

This is just what I needed for a project. Very much appreciated.

[@chrisfayte8482]

[@thaneepopeasri1006]

[@JayBaggio]

Hi. on 3:45 when you 0 the velocity, the streak get some hard corners in it's trail instead of seamlessly moving in free flow. Is there any way to lose those hard corners? thanks

[@TerryMelic]

Thanks dude great tut

[@yannickl1159]

Why tell us we have to install Trapcode at 1:14?

[@berkeatacan4435]

How you can be use particular effect without trapcode suit? You need to install it.

[@crodgraphics1242]

Great for light trails on cars maybe Thank you!

[@oinkards1143]

Did you make a tutorial on how you did your intro, at the beginning of this video?

[@geetamathur1982]

[@t-producciones5138]

Thank you!

[@AwkwardsFromMARS]

THIS HELPED ALOT

[@libyaticketing8131]

please how to make one null object to track [ follow ] 2 or more different paths ??! for ex: text of 4 litters every character has 1 path , i want the null to move over all characters paths

[@alexvalladares3608]

I did exactly the same ias u did but i can't get the null to follow the path, when i paste the mask path i get no keyframes

[@zetetic23]

My light seems to wander away from my null. I make nice big smooth curves, and it doesn't follow very well, cutting into the curves and making its own interpretation of the path. Any ideas on getting it to follow better?

[@BagzAndPresident]

How come in particular workspace when I drag the streak it makes an after image on the spot but after effects it remains a ball of light with no trail

[@dineshkushwaha6786]

[@jean-philippegoo2134]

problem: my null is attached to the path, my particules to the null, but not attached at its center……

[@themightybadger8927]

How do I not have the damn particles stay in correlation to the null object, they don't have there own physics

[@jyotiprasadchakraborty1591]

Does anybody know... How can we make the light trail stay all over the masked path .... Not to fade away..???

[@loeykalel440]

Jyoti Prasad Chakraborty Use Motion Paths

[@peera9090]

I can't fine expression line when I click stopwatch to be parrent with Null1. What's wrong?

[@shadamyandsonamylover]

+peera vanmalec I know this is a long ways away - but you have to option+click the stopwatch. I only remember from a different tutorial.

[@SamMpakFallen]

Dude, your voice's very similar to Mike's from LP :D

[@obaidamohammed4819]

[@emmanueljr]

Anyone know how to embed multiple videos inside a video - but not as a collage , the videos are somehow animated and they move around...dunno what its called

[@Mads-hl8xj]
