Create a Leaf Growing Network TV ID
Tutorial Details
- Program: After Effects, Trapcode Particular Plugin
- Difficulty: Intermediate
Final Product What You'll Be Creating
Network TV ID’s are usually a 5 or 10 second piece that pleasantly announces the channel’s logo. In this tutorial you will learn how to create this real-world, network ID-style scene for your logo or type treatment using After Effects, Trapcode Particular, and stock images.
Some techniques covered will be:
- using the layer emitter and custom particles in Particular to create growing leaves
- using “wiggle” and “random” expressions to create wind movement in leaves
- simple 3D AE camera use with Depth of Field (DOF) and wiggle for handheld feel.
- using a “length” expression to tie the DOF Focus point to a NULL for easy animation
- color grading with blend modes and overlay effects
Requirement: Trapcode Particular Plugin (download free trial here)

Great tutorial! The DOF trick would be very useful only i’m my scene it doesn’t work. When i animate my camera from right to the left the focus differents in the Z-axis. The Z-axis value of the FOCUS layer is constant. Any options to solve this problem?
Nice tutorial! The DOF trick is very useful but doesn’t work fine in my scene. When the camera is moving from right to left the focus is not constant but the z-position of the focus layer is. Any suggestion to solve this problem?
Very nice – just the thing I needed – good job!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much.
