Cites Cowcatcherer · 2016-12 · Blender Stack Exchange · on “particles come together to build text”

So I am trying to create a cloud of particles that come together to make text for a little end card for a school video project and I found a video that does basically the opposite effect. I was wondering if there is a way to reverse that effect without literally reversing the frames. The only reason i can't do that is because i also have some dust specs floating around in the background using depth of field so i can't mask the text and composite or some other wizardry as far as i know. Here is the link to the opposite of the effect i want: [this video]

I did a text animation based on this YouTube video. Dissolve Animation by Tutor4u [this video] When I render by clicking the animation button I get this. APG Dissolve Animation [LINK] My issue is I want to color the "A" and "P" text white (hex color - ffffff) and leave the "G" text red (hex color - ff0000) but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Here is my blend file. [LINK]

Cites kinkajou · 2017-04 · Blender Stack Exchange · on “Why is unchecking emitter not removing text?”

I am trying this [this video] tutorial where I wan to dissolve text. At 30 frame I added key-frame and 31 frame I removed emitter checkbox. I replayed the all keyframe and found that the text does not disappear. How to make the original text disappear? [LINK] Blendfile: [LINK]

Cites S.Hardy · 2019-08 · Blender Stack Exchange · on “How to merge particles to new shape blender”

I am looking to achieve an effect similar to the particles shown in this tutorial: [this video] BUT When the particles are in mid-air - whilst being affected by the force field, I want them to come back to the center to create a new shape or text field. I do not want to simply merge one shape into the next - like in this tutorial. [LINK] Thanks in advance!
