Today I will be teaching you how Particle Playground works in Adobe After Effects.

Step 1: Step 1

The effect shown is called particle playground.  An easy way to find this is use the search bar above the arrow to find it.

Step 2: Step 2

Click where the arrow shows to change the color of your particles.

Step 3: Step 3

The sections shown are what allow you to control the velocity and move the position.

Step 4: Step 4

The particle exploder controls the exploding particles you create by enabling exploding particles.  To enable these particles follow the blue arrow and add a layer of exploding particles.

Step 5: Step 5

The option shown with the blue arrow allows you to control gravity.  This could be reversing it, intensifying and even shifting the centre of gravity.

Step 6: Step 6

You are now ready to use Particle Playground in your movie.
