Dear John,
First of all, may I wish you a happy New Year and good health for you and your family.
Hope it will be an exciting year for you and the beautiful website you manage.
Hence my question (actually 2).
1. Is it possible to down convert this project from CS4 to CS3 as I am working in CS3? I think a lot of us out there are still working on a CS3.
2.I was at a brink of upgrading my creative suite prod prem.
but now I am doubting because someone told me Adobe is to release CS5 soon (april).
I am not sure wether this is correct information on his part.
I thought to check it out because otherwise it would be a waste of good money.
If time lets you down please forget this comment.
Thanks a million,
Tim

Hi Tim, happy new year to you too. No way to down convert sorry. Adobe has been making noises, showing sneak previews etc. so you can read into that what you wish. Best wishes, John.

Hey JD,
I have been seeing loads of effects using particular and form on Sky (cable channel here in UK). Truly organic. Thank you for the sample project file. I encourage fellow After Effect user to experiment with both plugins to come up with brilliant motion graphics.
Thanks again JD!!
