Questions and Answers

When I purchase a project file what happens?
When you purchase an after effects project file, the file you purchased will be available for download right after you're through with the check out process. This site uses the services of payloadz.com to make safe online transactions. Read more here.

Do your templates come with tutorials?
I'm in the process of producing video tutorials for all my files. Check them out here.


What type of file I'm a getting?
Your file will be a zip file that contains the After Effects file, folders containing all of the assets used in the project, and a "readme" text file that explains how the project is broken down and the best steps that you need to take to edit this project. They are all quite simple. However some level of After Effects knowledge is required.

How can I use these projects?
You can use these files anyway you like. Commercials, corporate videos, websites, trade-shows, and much more. To find out more just read up on our terms of service. Really you have the freedom to use these anyway you like. You just can't resell them in anyway. Also if you want to use the file again for another client you'll have to pay to use the file again. We have a "pay per use" policy. Just order the file again through our website.

Can I change some of the graphics?
You can. You can do anything you want. If you want to make the file look completely different from when you first opened it that's fine with me! Be it graphics, vector art, colors, anything!

Once I download the project can I make it look completely different with colors and even changing the camera moves?
Yes and Yes. You can hack this project up anyway you like!

I have CS2 not CS3. Can I open up CS3 files using CS2?
Nope, these after effects files don't have backwards compatibility. We gotta stay current!

Can I change the resolution of the the compositions to the format I need?
Sure, you can down-convert or up-convert to any format you want. Usually tweaking the camera moves after you have changed the resolution composition settings will do the trick, or changing the lens preset on the Camera from say 55mm lens to 75mm lens. I've chosen HD 720p as the format for most because this is the most requested format requested by most clients in my profession. So if you need 1080 resolution I'd suggest up-converting to that resolution or changing the resolution in the Comp settings of the AE project. However I have a few 1080 AE projects available.

Some of your project files are broken down into separate compositions, why are you doing it that way?
FIrst reason is there are a lot of beginning AE users buying these files. I don't want them to be boggled down with huge timelines. 2nd reason is that if you need to make an animation longer, you can make that change to one comp and not all the animations. I have worked professionally for many years in AE, and in my experience making short compositions is the way to go. You can render out all your comps as different clips, then edit them together in your NLE system, like Final Cut Pro.

Can I make a custom bundle and still get a discount?
You sure can. Just contact us, tell us which files you want to purchase, and we'll create a special order for you with a discount.

When I try to render, I get an error that says there are missing source files.
Sometimes After Effects acts finicky with files that you import into the program. Let's use one of the files on this site as an example. The "Metal Movie Trailer Text" project file.

In your project window toggle down the "stills" folder. Right click the "Metal Texture.psd" file and select "Replace Footage" then click "File".

Browse to the folder that this After Effects Project is located in that you downloaded from the website. Click on footage > Stills > then click on "Metal Texture.psd"

You'll see that it shows up as a connected file in the project window now.

Do this for all the files that After Effects claims are missing.
