Love it man! Thank you, but is there any way to make the light reflect on the logo as well?

[placeholder_Utoob]

WOW! Another great tutorial! Thank you for figuring out how to make this work with AE's native tools. Particular seems amazing, but I'm about to spend $400 on a plug in. At least, not right now.

No matter what I do, my optical flare moves out of sync with the particles. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hi, I'm in to 10:52 of this tutorial and I copy/pasted the "target = thisComp.layer("Null 1"); // this would be your layer to track and got an error. Can't seem to figure what went wrong. Any suggestions?

Why did you have to use that expression instead of the parenting tool ?

[jgilesh]

@22:40 Could I just precompose the the particles (green and pink label) and make lower their opacity instead. I tried but something went wrong. I just want to know if it's possible but I missed it. Then I would keep trying. Thanks

So I'm at 9:47 in the video and I'm looking at how you have key frames. I'm scrubbing through the video to see where it went wrong, but I don't have any and I can't make the particle go around it.
