If it was up to me I'd do this in yanobox nodes instead of particular. Much
better text options. Look it up.

I have all of the names in a pre-comp. Each layer is set to one frame. That=

At frame 0 physics is set to 1, at frame 1 physics is set to 0 so that my p=

What I can&#39;t figure out is how to get each name in to the cloud but onl=
