Light Trail Preset for After Effects CS6

Made 100% by me for a project im working on, thought id just share the preset instead of wasting time with tutorial videos that dont explain what parameters do

100% free light trail preset, simply download the after effects project file and import the sequence, copy and paste the layers, and youre ready to animate, etc

Requires:

Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.0.378
Trapcode Particular 2.1.2
Video Copilot Optical Flares 1.2.132

you dont have to mention me if used but would be nice if you do

tips:

some of the methods to setup this scene were used in this video:

velocity is the spread of the particles

things that affect the size of the light using trapcode particular

the scale of the null
emitter intensity

trapcode particular > emitter > velocity

trapcode particular > emitter > emitter size x
trapcode particular > emitter > emitter size y
trapcode particular > emitter > emitter size z

if you increase the above, then you should increase

trapcode particular > particle > size


trapcode particular > physics > air > turbulence field > affect position
however you need to compensate for the emitter particles per second, because the more position you take up the less particles there will be in that one area, so either increae the
trapcode particular > emitter > particles/sec"
or
decrease
trapcode particular > physics > air > turbulence field > scale

keep in mind that if you increase the affect position the evolution will be more obvious so decrease its speed with:

trapcode particular > physics > gravity
AND
trapcode particular > physics > air > turbulence field > evolution speed
