so my plan i this, have a shot of someone and then they start to dissolve away into particles. My initial start is to have a mask of the person in the scene, precomped that and added a particular layer in the precomp. next I put the masked someone clip and use that as the layer to the particular... ok looks fine but particles are everywhere, i want them to start where the person is and then start flying away. Next i tried to put particular back to point emitter type and then used the masked clip as a alpha matte for the particular... awesome now i got what im looking for BUT i need each particle to hold its color and also float away...


any suggestions or tips?
 
ok now where im at is... it seems like when i have the particular using the masked clip of my person... it ignores the mask and just uses the entire clip... any tricks around this? i just want the person whos masked to have the particles come from
