A look at the Stardust plugin for After Effects in comparison to the Trapcode Suite. This is the second explainer video I’ve ever made, so I hope you can look past my inexperience and enjoy the video. I’m just generally excited about Stardust and want to share that with the community. This is by no means a bash to the trapcode suite, anyone who knows my work knows that I live and breath that suite, this is just a comparison look.

EDIT: I did this before the new Particular 3.0 was out, they added a unified 3D space and ability to emit from OBJS, but all node based comparison are still relevant.
