Particular: How do I migrate multiple instances of Particular at once?

When opening a project with multiple instances of Particular applied prior to 5.0, there's an option to execute a migration command once instead of having to hunt through your project to manually migrate each individual instance.

Before starting, save a copy of the original, pre-migrated project should you need to reference it again.

Use the instructions below to mass-migrate all particular instances at once:

1. Download this Particular Migrator.zip script and extract it on your system. This will create a file named Particular Migrate.jsx
2. Open the AE project you need to migrate previous instances from.
3. Head into File > Preferences > Scripting & Expressions and toggle Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network.
4. Now select File > Scripts > Run Script File…
5. Select the Particular Migrate.jsx file you downloaded.

Mac users: The first time the script is run on Mac you may need to adjust some permissions. You’ll know this is the case if you see the error “failed to create symlink”. 

If this happens, follow the steps below:

1. Open a Finder window and navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/
2. Right-click on the Trapcode folder and select Get Info
3. Twirl open the Sharing & Permissions section
4. Click the padlock icon in the bottom right corner and enter your password (if necessary) to unlock
5. Click the + icon in the bottom left corner
6. Highlight your username and click Select
7. In the Privilege column, set your username to Read & Write
8. Click the gear icon at the bottom and select Apply to enclosed items…
