2) View the Scanline Render node and press Play on the timeline.
3) Double-click the Particle Settings node and change the value for frames to be a higher number, observing particle spread.
Expected behavior
The particles should appear closer together with higher values set for the frames between them.
Actual behavior
The particles are not spread like they should be.
Workaround
There is no available workaround at this time.
