I don't really like particles in After-Effects... It takes forever to render on my system(P4-3GHz + 2GB of RAM). Particles from characters in karaoke are quite easy to simulate in AE (and looks more realistic than in ssa)... Basically warp (wave, mesh, etc) and choke/blur/move/etc the syllables, and then matte that comp to particular, thereby creating particles surfacing the syllables shapes rather than specified or random explosions. But, I can't really think of the processing power needed in creating this.:/ heh I dare not to try it on my system. >.>
