How do I use Trapcode Particular to make Frosty Breath look like the ones in the file attached to this post to make it look Animated OR Animetized using Adobe After Effects?

Took three minutes...

 

 

All you need to add is animate the scaling and positioning of the path and of course the opacity. That also easily takes care of any timing issues without having to worry about a particle system spewing out smokelets at the right time and in the right amount. Plus this can be endlessly modified with Roughen Edges, blurs, color effects to give whatever look you want/ need.

    The problem for me is the Amount & Timing of the Frosty Breath when someone (breaths, but mainly) speaks, as you can see below:⤵️

    Why would you even use Particular? Clearly the example you provided are just simple masks with an inner glow and additional blurs. Unless you are looking for something completely different, just use this simple approach.
