"Scotty, beam me up!". Coming up with a unique teleport / teleportation / vampire dusting look for your movie can be tricky, but CC Particle Systems II gives you lots of different looks, just by tweaking a few settings.

Included in the project download is the example from the title card and the two other examples, including the vampire dusting effect.
