Hello 10 elements (psd, jpeg...) are not in the folder.
Is it normal ?
Thank you very much :)

Hi Mr.G

The image files are there, but somehow became unlinked. If you manually point one of images to its file, the rest will link up automatically. Or you can re-download the updated AEP.

Hi THX for ur great tutorial but i've 2 problems lol
1/ when i click on STARGLOW, nothing happened
2/ When i click on :
Particle type : custom colorize
Layer : 1swirly_1

I've this message :
Warning ! ur custom particle layer size is big (700*958)
It's recommanded to keep size roughly between 20 & 100 px in both dimensions unless particles must pass close to the camera.LOL

Can u help me pls THX by advance ;)

Best regards

Well, I think the warning explains itself pretty well. In this case the camera passes really close to the particles so we need to make them pretty big. Just ignore the warning in this case.

This is great thanks. How do you just change the speed of the clouds?

November 26, 2013 | Registered CommenterJeff Corvetti

It is the camera that is moving here - through the clouds. So change the keyframes on the camera to change the speed.

Great, thanks for all the help.
