About Particle Pro
Particle Pro, developed by LetsMotion, provides a library of preset‑based particle effects organized into categories such as Shockwaves and a later addition of 40 new presets. The plugin itself is free to download, but it depends on the Stardust plugin, which must be purchased separately and installed before any Particle Pro presets can be used. Version 1.5.0 was released in February 2024 and is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019. Updates have added new preset categories, framework improvements, and bug fixes. A demo video is available in the aescripts library for previewing the tool’s capabilities.
