Handy Particles Pro



Handy Particles, a brand-new extension for After Effects, offers a powerful and intuitive solution for creating and manipulating particle systems with an export option for Rive as a JSON file. It brings extensive customization to motion designers.
It allows you to design particle flows, bursts, and dynamic systems with a preview of the particles embedded directly within the UI—built using Rive's animation technology.



Professional-Grade Effects and Customization

Handy Particles offers a broad suite of effects, such as Twirl, Ripple, Blobby, and many others, to add intricate dynamics to your particle systems.
These effects are fully integrated into the Effect Controls Panel, where you can control particle behavior, including size, vertical and horizontal speed, frequency, angle, and source.
With fill and stroke color options, the extension makes it easy to harmonize particles with the overall design palette of a project.
