I am very new to this product and editing in general.
I have a project where a wand is waved and I want sparks to fly from the tip which has a colored end.
I have successfully done the following
1) Added a motion tracker to the wand in the correct place at the end
2) Created a particle effect that I like and would like to apply to the motion.
I have NOT been successful
1) Finding a way to attach the particle to the motion. It seems that the particle can only follow a track that is preset?
2) Save the particle clip in a way that it has a transparent background ( I figure then I can just use it as an overlay)
I am getting very frustrated and I have been surfing the help file, google and youtube for hours and not getting any answer except that maybe it is impossible.
thank you very much for your help
