    to get this result you must have After Effects CS5? When I turn my particles in any layer, not the option that appears in the video.

    this is the version of my Trapcode or my After Effects?

      CUSTOM = your version is called SPRITE
      CUSTOM COLORIZE = your version is called SPRITE COLORIZE ;)

      The solution is not the version of the plug-in, in the version that you will not find it as a custom, your version is called sprite and sprite colorize;) I have a doubt, as an asset point of interest in my camera?

      Spanish:
      La solucion no es la version del plug-in, en la version que tienes no lo encontraras como custom, en tu version se llama sprite y SPRITE COLORIZE ;) yo tengo una duda, como activo el punto de interes en mi cámara?

      Help me please:

      i not found shortcut of point of interest in my camera :(

    I’m having that same issue. There is no custom setting when I go to change the particle type. Why is that?
