Particle Illusion was a Wondertouch product, I have had version 3 since Oct 2007, a very expensive program at the time, now Boris provide it free, can highly recommend this program

asik --- beat you by around 12 hours, but I deliberately posted in the Video and DVD Forum as the product did not relate directly to VS.

Unfortunately there is no Particle Illusion plug-in for VS. In any event, if you want a quick overview of what Particle Illusion does, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilUUHOkGc1o

But to purchase the plugin version will cost you US$295 assuming you have Adobe,Avid, Apple Final Cut Pro, Blackmagic, Vegas pro

Using as a standalone is no problem, just create and render, then import into VS

Hi,
Please be aware that the free standalone version does not allow the use of a background image or video. You can export the particles you create in ProRes 4444 but I don't believe that this is a format that Videostudio supports. If you can convert that to a series of image files with alpha channel, you could then import it into Videostudio and composite it using one of the blend modes.

Have uninstalled the Boris version, too many issues, none of the tabs work.

So will stay with my trusted Wondertouch version 3

Hi Robert
I dont have a problem with the program seems to work ok, all tabs respond.
Now how to use the program is another matter but it does appear to be responding to everything i try

Will try a reinstall later, problem is when hovering over a tab, the dialog box opens, but as soon as you move down to select a category, the dialog box disappears.

As VS has no particels engine at all, this is just another tool in the video toolbox
I also found Ver3.0 from 2003 on one of my disk, also stand alone and needs no installations.
I just run it here on W10.
I had limited usage of it, once I need a smoke to puff out a news encore so I used it.

**One thing I notice, 3.0 can output as frame sequence, but 13.0 do not.
3.0 has matrix, I don't see that in 13. 13 will not load 3.0 project

***OK Now 13 got the matrix.

Boris has a lot of tutorials to get you started. Yes, the free version you can not import video or a clip into it. It's free. The plugin version works with software listed above. I have the full Boris Continuum 2020.5 in another editor I use.
I've found the PI to run really smooth on my computer, and there is so much that can be done with it.
