Particle layer editing ?

Hi everyone,
pardon my naïve question, but is there a way to tweak a particle layer settings on specific keyframes in ASP9, instead of just setting its parameters once and for all ?
I checked the user's manual and did not find anything regarding that matter.
Thanks for your help!

No, particle layers proprieties can't be animated. Anyway, remember you can animate the contained vector layers, which is a very powerful feature.
Actually, many times I set all the velocity related parameters to zero (or close) and control the particles by animating them by hand. You can create very fancy stuff.

Oh, ok thanks...
The trouble in my case is that the particles themselves are image layers, not vector ones...
Thanks a lot however, manipulating vector particles seems to be a handy trick indeed!
Thank you!

You are welcome :)
Anyway, you also can animate image layers (translation, rotation, scale, opacity, etc)
