Trapcode Particular 3 is considered the top plug-in for creating motion graphics in Adobe After Effects, and it’s a powerful beast. So powerful, in fact, that it can be a little daunting to get started with it. Even if you’ve been using it for years, it’s packed with so many hidden features there’s always more to learn. Red Giant Software introduced a new free Trapcode Particular 3 training series with motion designer Harry Frank. Not only has Harry been using Particular since it was created, he's been a part of the development team for several years. Sit back (or lean forward, it's your life!) as Harry shows you everything you need to know to use Particular to its fullest.
