What is includes in today’s update/ Thank you.
This is just an after Cyber Monday update. Price, tags, preview image update.
Thank you.
Hi Could you please tell me your PC Spec as your previews in aftereffects move more smoothly than mine Thanks.
Hello and thank you for your purchase ! Check this benchmark video I posted on YouTube : https://youtu.be/KdoVrRQbDOQ
Be sure to setup your viewport to 1/4 quarter like in tutorials to get real-time feedback.
Hello there! I have a question: 1. I used a landscape with a depth map as a picture 2. I used a person with a depth map (using the portrait tool) as an object. 3. I created some camera motion by moving the volume max controller. The result was great except for a detail. The person’s feet (object) move slightly in relation to the ground (picture) when the camera moves. I tried to tinker with the object’s “close—->far” setting without any results. Could you please advise me on how to pin the person’s feet (object) to the ground (picture)? Thank you in advance!
Hello and thank you for your purchase. You did the right thing, you have to find the sweet spot for the close/far value. The best way to find it with AE Cc versions is to launch a preview with 0 key and change the close/far value at the same time while the preview is playing (like in video tutorial).
But some objects in rare cases just don’t match with the 3d landscape, because it is generated with a mix of 3d Effects and distortions. An easy way to fix this issue is to animate the position of your object over time, try to track the feet on the ground by creating keys.
I hope this helped. Gaëtan.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
This is the world’s best 3D Photo Animator suitable for professionals and also beginners. The customer support team is also the best. This product is by far the most impressive. Thank you again for producing such template.
Thank you zeinab for the kind words ! 
This is a fine piece of work! I really do appreciate the hard work you put into developing this. I do have one question however. How would I extend the overall comp time past 1 minute? I have extended every pre comp I could find and no luck. For times sake I am time remapping the render in another file, but I wanted to ask in case I missed something. All I am pretty much doing is a slow pan across a wide shot of an office. Thank you for your time!

Hello and thank you for your purchase ! To be honest I never thought someone would need more than a minute of 3d animation on a single picture because the 3d effect won’t be very strong. it will be very difficult to modify and extend all the compositions…
There might be an easy trick to do : split your animation in multiple parts. One minute for each part. I hope this helped.
Hi! Just purchased Volumax and making the 3D- videos was as simple as promised – great work!
Just wanted to say that the license- terminology about single end-product was a complete turn-off for me and was about to skip purchasing this product – fortunately it was clarified on the forums and I decided to buy it. I would recommend to give these clarifications on the selling- page because you are most likely now losing some sales because of this unclarity.
Also wanted to know if there is an easy and fast way to export the smart mask to Photoshop for tweaking and then returning it back to AE?
Thank you for your purchase and advices, I will try to clarify licensing in near future.
Yes once you finished to tweak your smart masks you can export a picture of it by using composition>save frame as>file. Open the picture in photoshop and start tweaking it. Once finished save your picture and import it in “2-Your Displacement map” composition (the standard method). And Voilà ! 
Hello i use AE CC2017, I cant open file Volumax-V5.2 Pro-CC2018.aep because its appear message need to upgrade to CC2018. But when i try to open VoluMax-V5.2 Pro-CS6.aep it appear message need to convert from version 11.04 (window 64. After the conversion the can be open but each time close the file will appear crash log message. Please help me to solve this problem
I use mac not windows
Hello and thank you for your purchase !
Don’t worry this is totally normal. Package includes a cc2018 and a cs6 version and they have the exact same functionalities. In your case you have to open Cs6 file and save the file, you can name it cc2017 if you want. You won’t have anymore message at opening 
ok its work… thank you boss
Glad to hear that ! Have fun 
Hi Just to confirm for self promotion I can produce as many videos as I want using Vlumax on a regular licence?
I am okay with that. Thanks for your interest. 
Hi, same question / issue than amplomedia. this amazing project (i use an another tool like this one, but yours seems to me more easier), but it has the same issue, it’s under the “regular licence” and not as a tool. That’s mean that as much we can create pictures in number as we want, we can only use them in one single product.
it’s written here “Use, by you or one client, in a single end product ”. so if i do several videos and want to use your product, i can’t, i can only use it in one video. maybe i understood wrong, but it’s the issue that i talked with the “other guy” who did the same kind of 3D photo animation project files and with envato as well “yeah, my mistake, i put it as a regular licence and not as a tool.but i did a “lite” version of it, and it’s under the right cathegory…
so i had to buy this lite project which was under the right licence “tools”...
I understand that for commercial products, a licence must be purchased for each of them, as people make money with your product and some are big ones (like NRJ) but it’s bad for small like like some of us who does video for fun
with no commercial project behind it.
it’s impossible to buy 30 licences for 30 videos. I hope that maybe one day, it will be possible to put your project, if you want to, and envato too, as a tool project. Thanks for reading, all the best and congrats for the amazing “project” (
) you created, it’s very impressive ! (bonjour de Nice au passage
)
Thank you ! I understand, VoluMax workds like a “Tool” but it’s designed as a Template, a project file with hundreds of goodies in it to get the job done. Tools license on Videohive is for scripts, plugins or presets. VoluMax does not enter in that category. I will investigate on that subject. Regular license is okay if you do self promotion for your work, family pictures … unlimited pictures and videos. Or else it’s like if you had to buy After Effects for each of your job, it makes no sense, I will never attack someone who does that.
Hi Again, thanks, yes, i understand this of course. Yes it’s just self promotion (i’m a musician, and i do music videos but don’t sell them). I’m interested to know this “VoluMax does not enter in that category. I will investigate on that subject”.
for now, do you confirm that i can buy your product and knowing if i’ll be “safe” if i use it on several videos, or best is maybe wait that you investigate about that ? (and then bye bye to the black friday offer, but it’s maybe better for everybody
). Thanks again anyway
.
Yes you will be safe if you use VoluMax on several videos for your self promotion. 
Tu as un nouveau client
.. on va essayer ça
Thank you very much for subtitling in french your tutorials on youtube (that’s what helped me to take the decision). unfortunatly the tutorials included with your project files have no subtitles (maybe you already did them, would it be possible to have them ? (srt file etc…) i’m an hearing impaired guy (yes, i’m a musician, it’s not easy lol) , that’s why the subtiltes on youtube convinced me ! would love to watch the other ones ! is there a possibility ? (english subtitles would be ok too but french is better
(no kidding lol !). Thanks anyway !
Merci pour votre achat Didier 
Je suis vraiment confus que vous ayez cru que tout serait sous titré dans le package du coup. Je ne vais pas avoir le temps de retravailler les 2 heures de tutoriaux désolé, par contre si vous êtes vraiment bloqué je me propose de vous aider sur mon Live Chat Facebook : https://www.messenger.com/t/creammotion
Bonne journée. Gaëtan.
Merci beaucoup ! ho non, vous inquietez pas, j’étais quasi sur a 100% que les videos ne seraient pas soustitrés dans les tutoriaux, je vais m’abonner au compte facebook merci pour l’offre, mais pour l’instant je ne suis pas bloqué (bon c’est le 1er tuto (qui est soustitré et qui est sur youtube ce qui a pas mal aidé il faut l’avouer), ça marche bien et c’est trés impressionant ! (bravo), je vais regarder ensuite les autres tuto et voir si j’arrive a comprendre malgré l’absense de soustitres, le plus important est de comprendre le principe et comment ça marche, aprés bon, on experimente
. merci beaucoup pour l’offre en tout cas !
Curious about the regular license. Is that applicable for commercial use for us to use for clients multiple times? Shouldn’t this be under the tool category?
Hello, I agree that licensing is not easy to understand for tools on videohive. You can create unlimited pictures with the two licenses. Standard for personnal use or self promotion, extended if you sell you work and win money.
this is so good,I really like it!! but please tell me how to add more OBJect, I really need it, and it’s very urgent… my email chanjungwu@gms.tku.edu.tw thank you very much
Hello and thank you for your purchase. There are multiple ways to achieve that, I answered on your email 
How can you Pre compose after all is set up, this i have tried to do it but cant seem to get it to do it right
Hello and thank you for your purchase !
To precompose just create a new composition and drag & drop the “Main Comp 4K” composition. But generally I recommend to export all your VoluMax projects one by one, for example video1.mp4, video2.mp4… And then import all your exported videos in a new AE project or Premiere Pro sequence.
One After Effect project file for each picture you want to animate. That’s how I created the official trailer of VoluMax 
What background music did you use in last version 5 video? Thx
Great! Thank you 
I’m having the render time issue… I have the spanish version of CS6, and i don’t know where to “deactivate the Temporal Sampling interpolation”... from an answer 2 month ago… any light please
Hello and thank you for your phrchase. There is no render time issue with VoluMax, exporting on Cs6 should work super fast. Just be sure to export in the right resolution, 1920×1080 is faster of course. Try to import and use a picture and not a video (VoluMax was designed to animate pictures) And use the included export presets compositions to get fastly the right settings. The temporal sampling thing was just a recommendation to get renderings a bit faster.
Pre-purchase Question: years ago I saw a plugin where you could take a still of an interior, draw cubes around furniture and do slight camera moves in perspective. Would this tool work that way?
Hello and thank you for your interest. VoluMax works differently and has an organic and detailed approach of your picture by mixing multiple technics and tools. That’s why animating complex scenes like landscapes, objects or human subjects is possible and fast to achieve.
Hi Volumax Team, I’m interested if we can export in 3D photo format for facebook. They just went live with this feature. Any idea if that is possible ?
Hello, this is very exciting news coming from Facebook but it is too early to answer you because it works only with Iphones actually. Facebook said : “everyone will also be given the option to create and share 3D photos. That functionality should be widely available by end of 2018.” Let’s wait and see if there will be a way to post 3D photos from a computer…
can i use this tools for photo sequence (timelapse) ?
Yes ! You can have very good results on a timelapse. Just keep in mind that the render time will be longer on animations / videos than on a picture. But the working process is exactly the same.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask, Gaëtan.
Sorry to say me too with the long render times. Using CS6. Fast computer renders taking hours for 5 seconds export even using your 1080p preset. All I change is from .avi to H264. You say above “First of all use the 1080P Volumax Export Preset composition, then add to render queue. Set the render parameters quality to optimal (1920×1080) and deactivate the Temporal Sampling interpolation (I really don’t know why this is on in AE by default…” I have no “optimal” quality setting nor can I find “Temporal Sampling interpolation” where would one find these things? In the render settings? or in preferences>general? cant find them there? Thank you, have spent all day on these issues
Hello and thank you for your purchase!
First of all a 5 seconds animation on a 4 years old (fast) computer takes approximately 1 to 2”30 minutes with After effects CS6 and CC 2018 in 1080p: https://youtu.be/KdoVrRQbDOQ
All the options you are talking about are in cs6 render queue parameters and are just advices that can help to speed up renders, but It seems you might have problems with After Effects or hardware, not VoluMax.
