Body: <p>how can I creat a effect wich can be seen in this video at 0:19 seconds?
  <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                  <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Waf-sfR-Pm4?start=19"></iframe>
              </div></div> </p>
  
  <p>Is it generated in after effects with native effects or AE can't do this without external plugins?</p>
  
  <p>I already know how to make it follow a path, I just want to generate the floating energy, light, etc effect.</p>
  
  <p>maybe it is a pre rendered effect and the company just make it follow a path?</p>
  
  <p>sorry, my english isn't good. btw, Thanks!</p>

  This effect can be achieved by using different [particle systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_system).

  I've *almost* done the same thing for TV-show intro. It was done with [Red Giant Trapcode Particular plugin](https://www.redgiant.com/products/trapcode-particular/), see the result [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYSF-_ZN0kM).
  
  You should move your emitter in 3D space with different particle settings for different effects. Also see this [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w08-j_ttA4) on how to work with Trapcode Particular.
  
  However Trapcode Particular is pretty expensive. After Effects is shipped with the following built-in particle system effects:
  
  * CC Particle Systems II
  * CC Particle World
  * Particle Playground
  
  *You can try to reach same result with them. But they have poor set of settings.*
