How do i create a custom title with effect using particle as the background but without the background particle takes on the whole screen? I just want the particle background to be around the title text

Thanks

Hi Kristinabalai -

When you're preparing your particle effect, under Emit Method you can apply a mask. The attached screenshot shows where...

Here's an example where a mask has been applied to block the centre space - & here is the same particle incorporated in a title template.

The mask is a simple black & white image - the black section gets blocked & the white part shows through. I've attached the mask I used for the particle effect above.

Cheers - Tony

Thanks Tony,

The problem now sloved.
First I create the title with the particle background and convert into movie.
Second, I use the masking to hide the unwanted section.

What a powerful tool this is.

Cheers.
