Can this have multiple placeholders? Meaning can I showcase 15 or so players in one clip?
I am not sure what you mean. You have one long video clip with 15 players?
Sorry, your example shows 2 players…. can i make the video go longer so that I can show 15+ players? Hopefully I am making sense…
You can save a new version of the file for each player and make as many as you would like. Does that answer your question?
What I am asking is, when I hit play, can I make this go for 2 minutes or so so that I can show 15 players? Right now it’s only long enough for 2 players to be shown.
You could try using the endless loop comp to do that, you won’t have the beginning animation that way but it could work for what you are after. I can help you get it set up.
There is no way to add the beginning and ending animation that shows the logo?
Okay, I purchased it, how do I find the endless loop and add multiple names/player photos?
I can’t figure out how to fade to another player. HELP!
i sent u a message so we can hook up via email, please check your messages and we can figure this out!
I purchased your template yesterday. Totally, my fault for not checking before, but I’ve just realized that it’s 1280 and not 1920. Any chance you’ve got this at 1920 or bigger? I’ve done a few render tests and the banding gets pretty extreme when I try to blow it up.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Can I use a video with sound in the player headshot space?
Yes, should work great.
It’s taking forever to render, and the player video seems to be slowed down.
It won’t play real time until the render is done. The speed of the render will vary depending on your machine’s power and the size / codec of the video you placed in the project. I checked the project and there is no time remapping or anything so your video should play ok once rendered. Let me know if you have any more trouble!
Can you update the link for the video tutorial please? I’m getting a 404 message.
Updated that link, sorry about that!
Can this be imported and converted to AE CC 2017?
Cool stuff! =) GuitarNation
thanks!
Hi,
I get an error telling me, that the project as “Expression Errors” In total there are 105 of these.
Please advise.
It must have something to do with Windows 10 Standard Apps as it works until I make a change on the defaults for some files. Like setting Adobe Photoshop as default for PNG. Changing it back makes no difference.
Hi, I just opened the file up on 2 windows 10 machines with no errors. Are you using a different language than English on your computer? The only thing I can think of is universal expressions but I thought I had done that already on this project. Can you send a screenshot of the error? Sorry for the trouble!
Yes, my computer is set to German at this point as I am using it over here in Germany. I can send you a screenshot but it will be in German 
Where do you want me to send it to?
Quick question about this AE project. What would be the best way to duplicate this for up to 14 players with some of them having different team logos? I watched your tutorial and I didn’t see that. I may have missed it.
The easiest way would be to save out a file for each player, customize it with different logos, then render out each file as a quicktime or whatever you prefer, then bring the renders back into after effects and splice them together as you wish. Let me know if you need more help!
I was thinking I would just duplicate your comp file and rename them to each of the player. Would that work?
Nope, all the comps in the project are intertwined so if you start duplicating comps things will start to break. Best to save out a separate file per player.
Ok. Thanks
No problem, holler if you have any questions along the way!
Do you offer any services to edit and help publish this file for your customers?
Sure, I’m available to help out. Shoot me an email at rayrayato@gmail.com!
Nice job!!! I am having a problem with my final output. For some reason it flickers as if the frame rate is off or something. I tried adjusting the frame rate down from 30 to 29.97 and removed the drop frame to see if that would help but I’ve had no luck. Do you know how to get rid of the horrible flicker my project is producing?
Also keep making these… They’re awesome! Thanks for the help!
Hello, sorry for the late response! Can you send me a sample of the flickering you’re getting? This is the first I’ve heard of a flicker. Is it in the entire render or just in the content that you put in the screens?
Thanks for the response Ray! i got it fixed. You included multiple flicker layers in the project. I don’t know why they’re there but on my system they made my projects render as if the frame rate was messed up. After I turned off all of the flicker layers the project rendered out fine. Thanks again and great job on this project!
awesome, sorry for the flicker. Glad you like the project!
I have already begun to mess around with it.What is the best file type to save it as. I tried avi to upload to youtube but it says the audio file is not recognized. Sorry for all the questions, just excited to work on this.
No worries! I would try and h264 quicktime for youtube. Here’s a link to their upload FAQ:
https://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en-US&answer=1727361&topic=1728569&parent=1728585&rd=1For multiple players, i would set up one project the way you like it for one player, then render that out to animation quicktime movie. Save your project out under the next players name, and adjust the type for that player, render that one out. Do that for all the players and then pull all the renders in and put them together in one big timeline, using the logo as a sync point.
Hope that helps, I’m glad you like the project!
Thanx I did figure out the audio issue. Was just me being an idiot. Just had to toggle the audio on. As for the multiple players I am going to try to follow what you said. Do you happen to have a tutorial up ? Your first one was great and I think this would help a ton! Thank you
I am new to After effects. Your templates are great. I am going to purchase this Metal Sphere one for my baseball league. I watched the tutorial and you do a great job explaining everything. Just wondering if you could shed some light on how to make multiple players play one after another.
Thank you for trying,,,, my bad for not checking before buying… I do like your work,, if I update my CS in the future I’ll use it then. Thanks again.
No worries, I’m glad you like the work! Have a great day.
forget it…just had to delete your background psd files…don’t think it impacted the render if I would have just done it…you indicate to render out on alpha the player files if you are doing many players but then you lose the picture of the player. I am not savy on the AE lingo…figured out use RGB +Alpha on render…thanks this is great now that I pulled my head out.
Thanks…I didn’t purchase yet as I saw it said CS5 and then saw the question…I will rely on my cardfall purchase for this project…only problem I am having there is when I tried to go and render it keeps saying I am missing files but on ram render everything looks fine. I am trying to download again in case I messed up something in the file. Found the problem when I was taking your suggesting of rendering player files separately then combining into one comp
Any update on a CS4 version for release?
Hello,
Well I found a version of CS4 but CS5 doesn’t have a back rev option it. They didn’t start that until CS5 .5 
I’m sorry about that. I don’t know if videohive will refund or not since the compatible versions were listed in the file specs.
Nice work , have you a CS4 version??? Bought the CS5 and can’t open it
i don’t have a copy of CS5 installed anywhere to back rev the file. I’ll ask my buddies and see if anyone has install and we’ll try to fix u up.

Where is the tutorial? I looked in the folder and there isnt anything there but the file and footage folder.
for some reason it seems like they aren’t including it in the download file, i’ll contact videhive. Here’s a link, I’m sorry about that:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5428064/metal_sphere_tutorial.mp4How do you change the color? Everytime i do it changes it back to what you have as default.
Have you gone thru the tutorial? I tested the controls before upload so everything should work as long as your using the right control layer. Let me know if you’re still having trouble and I’ll do my best to help!
