Creating a Particle System From a Clip
The Library contains an animated clip of a single butterfly. In this exercise, this clip is

on a multiple-frame clip.
To add the butterfly clip:

2 In the stack, select Butterfly.mov.
3 In the Preview area, click the Apply button.
The Butterfly.mov clip appears in the center of the Canvas.
