Particles
Sends particles flying out of the layer: snow, sparks, confetti, bubbles, dust, hearts, stars, petals or small copies of the layer itself, moved by gravity, wind and swirl. Start from a preset, then change the emitter, the amount and the forces. On Beats sends a burst on every beat: select your music, open its menu and tap Mark Beats first.
