Start particles at frame X

[perihelion74]

Hi!

I want a particle effect to start generating particles at a certain frame but I cant figure out how to do it. All I can get it to do is to turn on the particle layer at a certain frame and that causes the effect to fill the screen with particles instantly. I want the particles to start flowing at this frame.

Is it even possible? Anyone out there who can help?

turn off "full speed start" in the particles tab of the particle layer settings

Thanks for the reply but not quite right. If I turn that off I still cant control it so that it starts generating at frame 200. It starts from frame 1. Any ideas of how to get it starting at frame 200? Can I somehow keyframe settings in the particles panel like I can with turning on animated effects in the layer settings?

Ah! I solved it! Should have checked the manual before posting here........................... The "Particles on" setting, my eyes had somehow completely ignored it.
