The software is a feature-packed, standalone particle effects application that reduces the complexity involved in the process of generating animated sequences. You need to import the movie clips or image sequences to Particleillusion, and choose the particle effect to be applied. Next, save the output as a video file. The effects library includes more than fifteen hundred particle emitters or effects. You can also make your own particle effects using scratch or by changing the number of particles, colors or velocity. Particleillusion has some advanced tools such as 'Super emitters, which create other particle emitters automatically. Here we show you how to create a simple animation that would move fire sparkles around a pillar. You can use it with any video editing or image editing application like Adobe After Effects, Flash or Autodesk Combustion.
