particleIllusion is a standalone particle effects application designed as an easy-to-use, low-cost, high performance tool to quickly and simply add particle effects such as logo effects or water animation to any image, animation, or video footage. particleIllusion features an ever-growing collection of over 1500 preset effects such as smoke, fire, explosions, water animation, sparkles, colorful motion graphics effects, and many others.

Out-of-the-Box Effects

One of the great strengths of particleIllusion is the huge library of effects that is included. Over 1500 particle emitters ("effects") such as logo effects are currently available, with a new free library released every month.
This large (and ever-growing) library of effects allows you to create immediately, with no learning curve and almost no effort. You can also customize these effects to create subtle variations or entirely new effects, then save your new presets.

Works with All Video Applications

Since particleIllusion is a standalone application, you can use it with any video editing or compositing software. Bring your movies or image sequences into particleIllusion, add the particle effects and text effects you want, then save the output movie or image sequence. You can also save just the particles with an alpha channel (transparency) so the rendered output can be loaded back into your compositing software.
Add Effects to Video or Images From feature film to home video, Adding effects to existing footage (movies or images) is the most common use of particleIllusion. Load your footage, select effects from the existing libraries of over 1500 emitters, adjust any parameters to customize (if needed), then render.
