What are After Effects templates?
After Effects templates are pre-made, customizable animation templates that require Adobe After Effects software. They're especially useful for video producers (seasoned pros and hobbyists alike) that either don't have the luxury of time or may not have the budget to create a high-end video presentation from scratch.
I've never used After Effects. How easy are your templates to use?
Stupid easy. So easy, your grandma could do it (and your grandma may still be scared of VCRS). No experience is necessary! We make the customization process quick and straight-forward with detailed tutorials to walk you through each step in the editing process. The technical mumbo-jumbo is handled 100% on the back-end, so the toughest decisions you'll need to consider are whether blue is prettier than teal.
Still not sure? Don't take our word for it. Head over to our freebies section, and download a project for yourself! All projects are organized the same. If you can edit one, you can edit all.
How long can I keep my downloaded files?
Our files are yours to keep and use forever. Easy, right?
I've never used Cinema 4D. How are 3D models?
Each item you want to download requires one credit. One for one. Simple.
