Apologies for the delay in replies - my post had to be approved by Admins.
User KrunoSmithy (Thanks!) suggested using a different tool which would be more appropriate -
TimeMachine - which causes the particle to appear but it only works when Random is chosen in the TimeMachine tools.
It seems like pEmitter isn't sampling the source image on every frame in all circumstances...but why?
