Hi guys. I´m new on videohive and i am working on a project to upload here. I am just finishing the project but I realized that it is too complex with a lot of precomps of precomps. I think that the customization of the project requiere a middle after effect´s knowledge. Do you think this may be a problem and my item could be rejected? Thanks in advance !

Create a detailed help file. Preferably Video tutorial where users can actually see how to do the customization.

Thank you for the tip. Could be a good idea to make a video tutorial although I’ve never done one of those but always there is a first time so I´m going to take a look with the software needed. Sure i will make a detailed help file. take this opportunity to congratulate you for your great work as motion designer. Thanks again

Even if project is complex with lot of precomps, customization should be as simple as possible. When you finish project, try to organize compositions in after effects folders, to make project very easy to edit. After that, when buyer see that you are creating easy “drag and drop customization system”, he will check your other projects and he will buy again something from you, for sure.
In my new project, folders looks like this:

I’m sure that this structure is enough for more than 90% of projects here, and without long tutorial, just a few words will be enough for new ae users.
You will maybe spent few hours, but later you’ll avoid lot of emails :)
But… if you for example using masks, which fit only for particular images in your preview, than you should make video tutorial to show buyer how masks works.
