How to customize this template

Thank you very much for purchasing this template.


To customize this project, simply follow the steps explained in this short tutorial. (Advanced users can
change even more than described in this document.)

The tutorial starts on the next page.

Please note: Some screenshots may vary to how it looks at your machine, due to updates and fixes
of the template. Don't be confused by that, you just have to simply follow the steps explained in this
tutorial to customize the project to your needs.
Insert your Logo

If you want to use this template


with an image or Logo, you
need to import your footage, in
this case a picture of your Logo:
Go to “File → Import → File...“

A new window will open where


you can choose your Logo.

After you click on “open“, your


picture will appear in the project
window in After Effects.

1. Go to the “Put Logo in here“-


called composition. It should be
already an open tab in the
timeline,
(if not you can open it as
follows:
In the project window, open the
folder “edit this“ by clicking on it.
Double-click on the composition
in the project window to open it
in the timeline.)

2. Click and drag your earlier


imported footage into the
timeline.

3. shut off the eye-switch of the


Logo Placeholder, to make it
invisible. You can also highlight
it and press delete.

You can change the position of your Logo by simply dragging it into place in the preview window.
By default it's in the center of the screen.
To change the size, highlight your picture in the timeline and press the “S“-Button on your keyboard.
This will reveal the scale-parameters, with which you can change the scale of your Logo. (Simply
hold-click on the value and drag the mouse left or right)
Edit the text

1. Go to the “Tagline“ composition. It should already be an open tab in the timeline,


(if not you can open it as follows:
In the project window, open the folder “edit this“ by clicking on it. Double-click on the composition in
the project window to open it in the timeline.)

2. Make sure the timeline cursor is inside the composition and placed far enough on the right to read
the text. Click at the timeline (top bar) to place the cursor. View screenshot for details.

3. Double-click on the layer in the timeline-window (layer name in screenshot may differ from yours).
The text should be highlighted in the preview window.

4. Simply type your text on your keyboard.

5. Change font and text color in the „Character“ window. (If not visible, go to Window → Character)

6. When you are done typing, click anywhere in the timeline-window to deselect the layer.

7. You can reposition and scale the text like the logo.
3. Customize the project

After you have inserted your text and logo, you can now customize the project to your desire.

In the project window, double click on the Output composition “Output“.

Highlight the top layer named „“Controls“ (left Click)

In the effects controls window, you can find several parameters (in the plugin version, some of these
are missing because you have to change those in the plugin itself):

You find the explanations on the next page.


• BG Color: Change this to change the color of the Background.

• Logo Layer 1 Tint Color: Change these colors to tint the first layer of your logo that gets
revealed.

• Shadow Opacity: Change the visibility of the shadow on the ground here.

• Number of Logo Pieces: Change the amount of pieces your logo is created of with this
setting. I recommend to leave it at the standard setting as I have experienced some visual
errors when using less pieces.

• Flare1: Check this to enable a flare at the beginning of the animation.

• Flare 1 Color: Change the color of the flare with this parameter.

• End Flare: Check this to enable a flare at the end of the animation.

• End Flare Hue: Change the color of the flare with this parameter.

• Rainbow Flare: Check this to enable a rainbow flare at the end of the animation.

• End-Animation: Check this to enable a time-reverse effect at the end of the animation.
4. Render the project
After you've customized the project to your needs, it's time to export the video. Make sure the Output
composition is active in the timeline-window.

1. Click on “Composition → Add to Render


Queue“

The render queue will open in the timeline


window.

2. Change the export settings to your needs.


Remember to check “Audio Output“ in the Output module settings if you want to use sound.

Now you're done. Thanks again for your purchase.
