Project Navigation
Open “MAIN COMP” to navigate through the timeline and all scenes. You can find “Placeholder” comps
inside each “Scene” comp, as well as text layers in “Text Scene” comps, “Camera Controls” and others.
In all “Scene” comps there are hidden layers, press “shy” button to reveal them. For basic customization
it is not required to use them.

You can easily navigate through all project comps inside project panel. All folders are named and sorted
for your convenience.
Import and Insert your Media
1. Import them by going to File > Import > File. Or double click on project panel.
2. Drag your media inside “Placeholder” comps and place it under all layers. Scale your footage to
fit composition size. Delete “Delete_or_replace_with_footage” after you inserted your footage
or remove it from all comps by deleting it from “Elements and other” folder.
3. Insert your logo into “Logo Placeholder” comp.
4. Audio file should be imported inside “MAIN COMP”.

Edit Scene Text and Elements


1. To edit text layers navigate to “Text Scene” comps, double click a text layer and type your text.
Change text position with the move tool. Edit text colors by selecting them and changing the
color attribute. Text animation can be changed using expression controllers of each text layers.
2. To edit other elements inside “Text Scene” press “shy” button to reveal them. Use move tool to
move elements.

Edit Camera
All cameras are animated via speed expression, so there is no need in keyframes. Inside each “Camera
controller” layer you can change speed that controls direction and rotation of camera animation.

Edit Final Sequence


In “MAIN COMP” press shy button to reveal transition layers. You can change scene sequence by
dragging the scene to another timeframe. Edit scene duration by dragging it’s start and end points.
Move transition comps right between 2 scene comps to make it work properly.

Duplicate Scenes
1. Import same project file inside template. File > Import > File.
2. Find required scene and insert it inside “MAIN COMP”. Use new placeholders from imported
project file.

Render
1. From “MAIN COMP” drag work area to the start and end of the comp (or desired final output
duration). You can use shortcuts “B” and “N”.
2. Press Ctrl+M to add this comp to render queue.
3. Choose output format and press Render. In most cases, optimal output file setting is QuickTime,
h.264, Quality 80.
4. While it renders, take a second to rate my template ;) this will really help me! -
