we're going to set the horizontal value to zero and this will move the particles all the way to the left of the frame next i'm going to move a couple of frames forward and then change the position value to NUMBER_TOKEN and as you can see this will move the particles all the way to the right of the frame and by the way i'm using NUMBER_TOKEN because this is a NUMBER_TOKENk composition if you use a full hd composition then this should be NUMBER_TOKEN and now if i scrub to the timeline you can see the animation that we just created with these two keyframes before we continue with the next steps i first want to tell you about envalo elements the sponsor of this video it doesn't matter if you create videos for a living or just for a hobby you need to know about envato elements and that's because they offer millions of high quality assets for your video projects all within one single subscription and this includes stock video music and sound effects fonts video animation templates and much more i've got my own paid subscription for a couple of years now and i still visit the website multiple times a week for many of my projects so i can highly recommend you to give it a try if you like to create videos if you use my temporary discount link in the video description you can try them out for a couple of dollars but of course after you finished watching this tutorial ok let's now move on to the physics part first we'll set animation to direction in my opinion this option will give the animation the most natural look next we'll play around with the velocity option this will control how fast the particles move for this one i want the particles to move nice and gentle so i'm going to set this to NUMBER_TOKEN so now with the animation type set to direction and a lower velocity the animation will look like this next we're going to look at the gravity option if you use a positive value then the particles will fall down but if you use a negative number then the particles will rise up and act a bit like smoke and that is exactly what we want for this effect so i'm going to set this one to -NUMBER_TOKEN we can leave all the other physics settings to the defaults for now and then move on to the particle section and in here we first want to enable the checkbox for source alpha inheritance with this option enabled the particles will only be emitted at the point where the characters are visible and that will look like this and finally the last step for the particles is changing the colors i'm going to pick the same color as the text for the birth color and for the dead color i'm going to pick something grayish okay let's have a quick look at what we've created so far in the final step of this tutorial we're going to make the text disappear as if it is dissolved by the particles and to achieve this we're going to apply an effect called linear wipe we're going to apply this effect to the bottom text layer then i'm going to select both layers and then hit the u key to reveal all the keyframes and then i'm going to match the keyframes of the linear wipe with the ones from the particle animation and now as you can see the keyframes are perfectly synced the only problem is that the text gets revealed we want the text to disappear so we need to change that and to do this we need to change two things the first one is
START_SPONSOR_TOKEN before we continue with the next steps i first want to tell you about envalo elements the sponsor of this video it doesn't matter if you create videos for a living or just for a hobby you need to know about envato elements and that's because they offer millions of high quality assets for your video projects all within one single subscription and this includes stock video music and sound effects fonts video animation templates and much more i've got my own paid subscription for a couple of years now and i still visit the website multiple times a week for many of my projects so i can highly recommend you to give it a try if you like to create videos if you use my temporary discount link in the video description you can try them out for a couple of dollars but of course after you finished watching this tutorial END_SPONSOR_TOKEN
