I remember trying something similar to no avail. I had hoped some combination of eval expressions and linking would work, but my expression skill’s somewhat limited.

you could always do exactly what the matrix crew did and put 100 or so cameras around the particles and render out each frame individually and cut them together.

hardly a nice, computer friendly solution, but it would work.

there used to be an old trick – i am not sure whether it still works:

Have your particle settings as you like them (actually lifetime should extend your scene length as you can´t stop it) – keyframe it

next frame
Set speed, speedvar, number, numbervar & lifetime, liftimevar to 0 and now you can move around with the camera (only with the camera!)

hope this helps,
Tom

speed=speed*magnitude

1)set the pre field to 100 to 500
2)animate the magnitude field from 1 to 0 over a frame
