Divides the foreground image into circular particles, which then orbit around their original position. The size and spacing of the particles can be controlled.
Particle Orbit Example
When using this effect as a transition effect, the following parameter changes are recommended:
  At the first keyframe, set initial Amount and Bumpiness values to 0 so the transition will begin smoothly.
  Add a keyframe to increase the Amount value during the transition. For example, change the value from 0 to 40.
  At the same keyframe, set the Size value. For example, reduce Size from 10 to 0.
  (Option) At the same keyframe, increase Bumpiness. Increasing Bumpiness gives additional texture to the particles. For example, change the value from 0 to 100.
The illustration below shows four frames from a transition effect using the values in the example.
