Particle Coalition

Many thanks for buying this project. I really hope you enjoy it, ind it useful and will rate it in your

downloads section if you haven’t already :)

This project will work with any audio but for a ready-made solution get the - best-selling -

soundtrack used in the preview. My thanks to the very talented author, alkis.

Prepare and import your logo

Ideally import this in vector format (.ai / .eps) so you can scale it without quality loss. Alternatively,

you can use a .png bitmap image with transparent background. It should be approx. 250px to

300px high.

Insert your logo

1) From the Project Panel open the ! Your Logo - Customise pre-comp

2) Drag your logo to replace the placeholder logo in the timeline

3) Adjust sizing to ideally it inside the guides provided

Write your tagline

1) From the Project Panel open the ! Your Tagline - Customise pre-comp

2) Change the placeholder text to your own wording / desired font

3) Adjust / apply any efects such as bevel, gradient ill etc

Main Comp customisations

Timing

If you are using audio, add it to the main timelione to make syncing easier (assuming you want the

text reveal to end in time to your soundtrack).

Next toggle down layers 9 and 10 (the main reveals) and layers 12 and 13 (the shadows of the main

reveals). Notice that each layer has Time Remapping enabled - not only to reverse the generated

particle efect (see later) but also to adjust overall timing.

You can move the Time Remapping keyframes until the get your desired timing - ensuring the

keyframe positions for the main reveals are matched in the shadow layers , so that the

shadows

appears exactly in time with the main reveals.

Background (lights and color grading)

Toggle down this layer (14) and change the ramp colors to your liking. You can then ine tune the

background color using the Color Balance controls. You may also want to adjust the layer’s Material

Options to control how the three lights afect this layer.

Three white lights are used. You can experiment with diferent colours (for dramatically diferent

results) and/or change their intensity and/or position in 3D space.

The main timeline has an overall Grading adjustment layer (6). Toggle down this layer and adjust

efects until you achieve the overall look you want. Notice that Noise is applied - partly to help

overcome any colour banding. Depending on your choice of overall colouring (darker tends to

sufer more banding) you may need to switch the project to 16-bit colour (which will slightly

increase render time).

Camera Controller

Toggle down the camera controller layer (4). Notice the gentle camera move-in and the wiggle

expression (very subtle drift) applied. You can disable / adjust these settings to your liking.

Other customisations

There are two layers of Particular particles in use which you can adjust. You can also experiment

with the Blur Edges adjustment layer (used to give the perception of depth of ield blur).

Generated particle efect

In the Project Panel notice the Logo Reveal Build and Text Reveal Build folders. Check out the

pre-comps inside to see how the reveals were made (and then time-reversed / mapped in the main

comp).

You can experiment with Particular’s settings (in the Reveal-Final pre-comps) - the options are

ininite. Notice there is also an animated camera in use in the Logo Reveal Build.
