In this After Effects Tutorial, we will be creating a particle reveal along a path for text and logos. No plugins are required for this tutorial. We will be using Optical Flares, but I will show you how to use the built lens flare effect as well. The main effect used is CC Particle World.
Expressions Used:
target = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”); // this would be your layer to track
(target.position[0]-(thisComp.width/2))/thisComp.width
target = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”); // this would be your layer to track
(target.position[1]-(thisComp.height/2))/thisComp.width
target = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”); // this would be your layer to track
target.position[2]/thisComp.width
