This article is provided for archival purposes. The project files are still available for download, but they were created in 2011 using After Effects and Trapcode Particular. Compatibility with recent versions of the software is not guaranteed.
Trapcode Presets to Download
Today, it’s Christmas early: I’m giving you 4 ready-to-use After Effects projects, available for free download!
These 4 projects are dedicated to Trapcode plugins — 3 using Particular 2 and one using Form — with the goal of achieving results that are a bit out of the ordinary!
A quick reminder that the first contest organized by mattrunks with Red Giant Software, Sounds Good, is open to everyone, and gives you a chance to win the Trapcode Suite 2010, which includes all Trapcode plugins! It would be a shame not to have some fun with it!
Although these projects don’t come with tutorials, they still have an educational aspect, since dissecting other motion designers’ projects is always a great way to learn tricks and discover unique effect combinations and setups!

I invite you to download, study, and explore the settings, effects, and techniques used. These are, of course, experiments with the plugins — the projects aren’t perfect and the settings might not be ideal or optimized for lighter machines.
The projects are available on Red Giant Software’s preset-sharing platform, Redgiantpeople:
What I’d like to share with you through these 4 Trapcode projects is the desire to tinker, to play with every setting until you understand them!
Apply and combine tons of effects, twisting them from their original purpose — that’s experimentation, and that’s how you end up with awesome unexpected results.
Now go have fun!
