    I usually never write comments on tutorials, but this one was made so well, that I had to. Straight to the point, no needless talking, humor involved, showed good examples on how to use it. 11/10. THANK YOU!!

    Note if your particles/numbers happen to be swaying like they are blowing in the wind. Make sure "Extra" is set to Zero. This is an issue I had even with the effect reset to factory settings.

    So I just did everything in the video and it works PERFECTLY but is there a way that I can get just the characters falling instead of the black background because I want to use this as an overlay

    • @Pixflow
      @Pixflow  11 місяців тому

      Hi there, Thanks for contacting us. The easiest way to use a layer with a black background as an overlay is to set it's blending mode to "screen". you don't actually need a transparent background for something like this.

    Great tutorial! What do I do if I want my text to only be 0s and 1s randomized? I put 0s and 1s as my text but as the rain falls it uses all different numbers.

    • @Pixflow
      @Pixflow  Рік тому +1

      Hi there, Thanks for contacting us. If you don't want the letters or numbers to change, you shouldn't add "character offset" to your text.

    How do I offset the text but i only want 1 and 0 to appear? and my offset doesnt work for some reason the numbers are not changing while its in the particle hope you can help thank you!

    • @Pixflow
      @Pixflow  11 місяців тому

      Hi there, Thanks for contacting us.
      To do that, please remove the animator offset.
      Then please copy the below code and paste it into the source text ( as an expression)
      tX = 1; //chars per line
      tY = 40; //number of lines
      tChangesPerSecond = 4; //how often a new random is generated
      posterizeTime( tChangesPerSecond );
      tText = ""; //initialise text
      for ( j = 0; j < tY; j++ ){ //loop thru lines
      for ( i = 0; i < tX; i++ ){
      tText += (( random() > 0.5 ) ? "1" : "0" );
      }
      tText += "
      "; //add line break
      }
      [ tText ]

    So... how did you get the writing on to the video? I've watched this a thousand times and still can't figure out. I drag my rain into the comp " there is no "FX" button available. I create Null and Camera but it doesn't let me apply the rain to anything.. what am I missing?..

    How would I get the code rain to have blurred codes along with the normal codes for depth?

    • @Pixflow
      @Pixflow  Рік тому

      Hi there, Try duplicating them and turn on Motion blur for some of them
      Also you can simply add fast box blur to the duplicate layer.

      Hi there
      Thanks for contacting us.
      If you want less lines in your effect (if that's what you meant) go to the CC Particle World effect, and decrease the Birth Rate
