Particular Help

[El Director]

I have a layer in AE with Trapcode Particular. This layer has no masks, no opacity changes, or anything like that. I have the life set to 50, the animation is only 12 seconds long, and yet at the ten second mark, I have particles fading out. Any ideas? I need them to stay on the screen until the end of the shot.

Not 100% sure why. They should stay based on what you've said. Can you post a larger screen cap and I can check your settings as I can't see the one you've posted.

Hey thanks. Not sure what happened with the pics, haven't had that problem before. I think I found the issue. My Sprite Layer was only 10 or so seconds long, so once I hit that point the particles vanished. I duped the sprite layer, moved it over, and made a dissolve between the two. Precomp'd and made that my new sprite layer and it seems to have done the trick.
