‘PremiumGrades’. Copy the folder ‘PremiumGrades’ to the Presets folder in your Adobe After
Effects applications folder. The next time you open After Effects you should see the effects
presets in your Effects/Presets panel if you navigate to Animation Presets>PremiumGrades The
presets are named based on the essence in which they give off, but you could change the
names in the ‘Presets’ folder.
Using the Presets
To apply an effects preset to your composition simply drag and drop it onto your footage in the
After Effects timeline. If you want to apply the preset to your entire composition you can either
create a new adjustment layer and drag the effect preset onto the adjustment layer or
precompose the entire composition and apply the effects preset to the new composition.
Note: You may use the presets in any way, but please do not distribute the effects presets
