Very good works perfectly . But Wat is the best way of choosing a right color i mean a right number How did you learned this ?

Many years of trial and error…. and a Javascript manual.

Unfortunately, you’ll probably need to write the colors in manually.

But instead of writing the values like this [0.392, 0.314, 0.784, 1], you can write them like this…

[100, 80, 200, 255] / 255;

That way you can just copy the RGB numbers out of the color picker. The fourth number is the alpha value and should always be 1… ( or 255 / 255 )

How to link Color Controls to a slider control having the colors you want ? With all controlers in one control layer . The idea is to connect 5-10 color controls to one slider wich would change project color preset by just sliding the slider from 1-20 or so …. But still be able to change colors one by one . I hope you will understand what i mean .

The way I do it is to have a null layer called “CONTROLLER” with an expression Slider Control called “Color Scheme”. It could have values of 0, 1, 2 etc. So the user has to select a positive integer, you could use this expression on it

tVal = clamp(Math.floor(value), 0 , 10); // that allows 11 color schemes from 0 to 10

Then I have various expression Color Controllers. You’d need one for each of the colors in each color scheme. Let’s call them “Color 1”, “Color 2” etc.

On the expression for Color 1 would be something like this.

tProp = thisLayer.effect("Color Scheme")(1);
if(tProp.value == 0) {
     rgba = value;
} else if (tProp.value == 1 ) {
    rgba = [0.1,0.34, 0.56, 1]; // the first color of color scheme 1
} else if (tProp.value ==2) {
    rgba = [1, 0.2, 0.4, 1]; //the first color of color scheme 2
}

//.. etc.

You’ll have to type in the colors of the color schemes manually. Then you can simply link the colors of various layers in your project to the Expression Color Controls on this layer. The user can pick one of your color schemes, or set the slider to 0 and make their own custom scheme.

Given the limitations of the expression language, that’s about the best you can do. If you wanted to do any more… for instance allow the user to use one of your color schemes as the basis for a customisation, you’d need to use scripting and the whole thing gets rather more complicated.

Hi Glowbeard,

I’m not entirely certain, but I think that buyers alter the camera moves less often than you’d think. I have the feeling that most want to alter just text, images and perhaps colour scheme.

However, adjusting the length of the presentation is an important thing. The simpler you can manage to conceive that the better.

My personal technique for this consists of creating a number of ‘edits’ of a project as starting points. The project consists of scenes like an edit, that are gotten between with classic cuts, so even the biggest novice can start with the nearest edit to what they want, then easily and intuitively lay out the project afresh from a timings point of view.

Moving a camera around a 3D scene on the other hand is a fine art, and one probably largely practiced by people who don’t buy templates.

Hope that helps.

I was thinking that not including ukulele and glockenspiel would be enough to make the track a little different

I gave up trying to second guess the market. I haven’t made any files for a while, but when I do, I think I’m going to move more in the direction of just making stuff that I enjoy making.

installed After Effects, Avid, Cinema 4D. a positive result is not achieved.

That sounds a bit like saying I want a wardrobe. I bought some wood, a saw and a hammer, but a positive result is not achieved.

Software is a tool and you have to learn how to use it. This may take years.

The easier software that Andre mentions is editing software. That means you need some footage to edit. So you either need to shoot it, or you need to create it digitally. Either which way, if you’re a beginner, you’ve got a lot to learn.

For promo videos, one of the most important things you’ll need is an idea. Once you have this, you’ll find the rest starts to fall into place.

‘Corporate’ to me says only bland and middle-of-the-road. I don’t believe there’s any such thing as a corporate spirit. Generally, when I’m seaching Audiojungle, I avoid anything with ‘corporate’ in the title like the plague… even if it’s on a job for a corporate company, they’re rarely looking for a ‘corporate’ piece of music.

If I were you, I’d make the music you like to make, not the music that you think other people would like to hear or corporate people would like to buy. If the listener feels your spirit, then they’ll come buying in their droves, corporate or not.

As for your track, it’s okay. Seems pretty well crafted. It lacks any real hook for me. There’s not much that makes it stand out from the crowd. Sounds a bit corporate to be honest. I’d be unlikely to use it for an animation.

For whose tracks?

After Effects, Final Cut, Avid, Smoke, Flame, Premiere, Maya, Cinema 4D, 3D Studio Max, Nuke, Fusion.

Any of those any good? (None of them are especially simple)

I think that the sales issue is something to do with the unreliability of the site at the moment. It’s okay for me, but there are a lot of people reporting that it’s hard to access.

This doesn’t appear to be some seasonal change or a bit of sales noise. For me, sales are at about 65% of what they’d normally be by this point in the month – that’s a drop of a third, with no precedent in the 18 months preceding it.

Seems like I’m not the only one experiencing this either. Bundles are a nuisance if you’re not in ‘em, but seriously they don’t generally affect sales that badly.

I’d like to hear something from support on this one.

If you want feedback on your item, then you’d need to post a link to it. Otherwise, who’s to say.
