can i use this when im reinstall my pc?
Hi sisiterang, Yes you can always go back to your download section and download all the source files from videohive again. Or simply save it somewhere and after your reinstall it will work same as beore no activation needed.
Hello, can I combine this with other toolkits I buy on videohive? These other toolkits also use those extensions that I install and load from After Effects
Thanks!
Hi celebrian, yes of course you can combine them. Evt4 extension loads elements into project panel where they are stored and can be used anytime with any other assets you have.
Awesome! I’m new to after effects so I hope this isn’t a silly question to ask but is this license for lifetime use? Or do I have to pay a recurring subscription to continue using it?
In terms of support, if I have trouble customizing the elements to achieve a certain effect, will your support assist me? 
Thanks!
Hello, yeah products bought from videohive market have lifetime license, once you get the template you can use it for a loong time 
subscribtion is only for envato elements / which is also envato marketplace mostly with thrash templates that can not sell anywhere else. Envato keeps putting their advertisement everywhere to keep the elements going but it is often confusing for new people to know what is what.
And sure, if you have any support question just ask or better send email via profile page and i’ll help you 
Hi friend, I have a problem. I use AE2019, English language, with script 4.02. When trying to use character animation man, or children or woman, it gives error, different numbers, 696, 710, 724, etc. This is the text “Script File: Character 03 Applause 2 Woman.jsx Function: compCode_20180823_153353 Error on Line: 710 ”
Please help.
Hi Rodrigo, Please ask for support only from an account where you purchased the template. Thank you!
How do i upgrade the license to extended ?
Hi FiberIL, you can send a https://videohive.net/refund_requests/new and describe to support staff you want to make switch to extended license. I read also your email, and yes you can make custom explainer videos for customers too.
hi want to purchase this toolkit but before i want to ask you a thing i have no knowledge of after effects can i buy it is it easy to use can i want to see tutorials please recommend me
Hi there, After Effects is a software with a lot of functions so it is definitelly good to have at least basic experience with the software. Check out some beginner tutorials for after effects and i guess just after a few days you can understand all the basics. After that you can watch tutorial on how to use Explainer Video Toolkit 4 and how to use all its components here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1y01EbEKvc&list=PLU9kseFH_-G8JyPK41lQvwxeNMjn4KAJO&index=2
Hello! Always use the script and works great. Now, after using some element, the content table stops working. If I close it and run the script again, an error message “Unable to execute script at line 5464. Object is invalid” Pops up. Any solution?
Hi Fgadget, I’m sorry for late reply, it seems like some parts of the script might be renamed or moved to another location. Try to delete the script and download and run it again. (It might be helpful to remove also folder before running the script again: C:/users/”user”/AppData/Roaming/Frederik V
Heyhey – i´m using AE2020 and the presets don´t seem to do anything. Using Legacyscript, I don´t get any expression errors. Text presets work… but the regular ones get applied and nothing happens.
Hi Ratboyx, the animation preset are triggered by markers, so you need to apply a marker to define start or second marker to define end of animation. Simply select a later with animation preset applied and go to layer > markers > add marker. Then you can adjust style of the animation in effects panel 
Really good product. Thank you for creating this awesome product. May I know the riging plugin you used to create this? Because it is a new one for me.
Hi Seanwayn, All character rigs are custom built to provide all the special features for advanced and fast customization.
Hello Taerar, floating particles is causing my AE to crash. Any fix for this? Thanks.
Hi diyakoya, i was not able to reproduce this issue however it seems like trying to swith your expressions engine to “legacy extend script” will solve this issue. ( go to file > project settings > expression engine > legacy extend script )
Thanks for your response. I am having problems with floating particles 1,2,3,4. Is there a way you could send me these? I look forward to your reply. Thank you very much.
Hi diyakoya, The same steps – switching your expression engine to “legacy extend script” should solve this issue too. ( go to file > project settings > expression engine > legacy extend script ). If this doesn’t help then also try to go to File > Preferences > Scripting and Expressions > Enable javascript debugger -> OFF
If none of that helps you can run this extracted version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UaBU4tXxGIrSVEAsz1o6FWgZ5QZqBmBn/view?usp=sharingHello, in my Effects and presets dpes not show the EVT 4 past. Can you please help me to solve that? I’m using the after 2020
Hello renatocassis, please make sure you imported presets folder “EVT4 Presets” from the main EVT4 pack into: program files/adobe/after effects cc2020/support files/presets. After you copy the evt4 presets into the folder, presets should appear in the “effects and presets” panel in you after effects.
Hello I would like to buy toolkit but before I have a question about licenses. If I want to sell several videos do I have to buy a license each time? thank you for your reply
Hi ArtMoodStudio, thank you for asking, theoretically every entity (customer) should have their own license by envato licensing rules. However in practical reality it makes more sense to buy this toolkit as a tool and use it for your work for clients if you are a freelancer or studio. This is how i also think it should be. You can read a out licensing here https://videohive.net/licenses/faq
Does this template work in AE 2020?
Hi HumbirdMedia, Yes it is compatible and working well on AE CC 2020
hi first of all this toolkit is so sick I love it very much but the only problem is the face rotation didn’t work at all I couldn’t rotate the head with the head rig or even with simple position keyframe I have followed all the tutorials you put in and nothing work I try it on AE 2019 cc 64 and AE 2020 I hope you contact me with the solution thank you very much
Hi Morgesh, please ask for support only from the account where you purchased the template. Thank you for understanding.
Hello Taerar! I do have a Youtube channel, hobby thing. I read in the licence agreement that I have to purchase the licence every year. Suppose I make 52 videos in 1 year and 1 regular licence would suffice? Thanks 
Hello Curious_R, thanks for asking! envato/videohive rules says the license is bought per entity, so for example your channel has multiple videos but it is still under the same entity so you need only 1 regular license. The license on videohive is valid indefinetly and also you keep source files as long as you want so i think the one year part is not correct. 
I am really sorry If I am being stubborn. I just want to be 100% sure. How do I understand is, I can make whatever the amount of video I want, post it on Youtube on the single-channel, with 1 regular licence. Suppose I bought this product and made 20 videos on my 1 channel, I just need 1 regular licence. Is this correct? Thank you again! 
Hi there, no worries better ask twice
yes all above is correct! You are 100% safe with one regular license. I think videohive marketplace selling our products through licenses is not the best way how to describe these digital products and its sometimes confusing. Language used in videohive licensing rules might seem strict but in real world these rules are much more relaxed and definitely no one will chase you.
Hello. The EVT4 menu dosen´t works well on my computer. The first time works properly but the second time show me an error. Unable to execute script at line 5465. Objet is invalid.
Allways the same way, the first time all is correct, but the second time the script crash.
What can i do?
I´m install the script again, and now works properly. Thanks anywere.
Smart work, I love the Video Tool Kit 4. !!!
Hi Veronica, thank you for letting me know, i’m glad you’ve figured it out. Feel free to contact me in case some issue re-appear 
Hello, excellent package, I am super happy, thank you very much. One question, is it possible to save a custom character for later use with all animations? I edit a character, I made it smaller and fatter, but I want to save it and use it in other projects. Is it possible to add them to the script?
Hi Ricardo, The easiest way how to save a texture or character is to save character with the texture as small separate .aep file (which contains only these two elements ) which you can easily import later to any AE project. There is no quick way how to import this directly to the main EVT4 menu.
I just purchased v4. Can you provide (and can I use) the .aep files for the v3 story #1 explainer video?
Hi chaddcarr, yes sure you are allowed to use all the files that comes with the toolkit including the example explainer videos, you can find .aep files for these videos in a separated folder inside evt4. Im not sure what is the name of the folder because right now i dont have access to pc but it should be easy to find it is named properly. However story#1 from evt3 is not included in evt4 if that is what you ask for. I can provide you the file if you mail me via profile page. Kindly notice that these two versions are more different from each other than it might seem and even though they are compatible, they work differently and also design is different so it might need some extra work to match everything well.
Is there any upcoming new version for this toolkit since it last update was 1 year ago? Tot of buying it
Hi zuzup, future updates will be still under Explainer Video Toolkit 4 so by purchasing EVT4 you buy also a free update for future versions.
In the file that I downloaded, there are no instructions for downloading the tool on Adobe After 2019
Hi naifalnajm, if you use After Effects CC 2018, 2019, 2020, then you don’t need to install anything, simply go to File> scripts> run script file and navigate to Explainer Video Toolkit 4.2 in the main folder and the script will load automatically.
Hi, I just purchased this product. I am trying to install on mac but the file PresetEffects.xml doesn’t appear in my list of files inside the resource folder ofAfter Effects.
Hi robertLyall, if you use After Effects CC 2018, 2019, 2020, then you don’t need to install anything, simply go to File> scripts> run script file and navigate to Explainer Video Toolkit 4.2 in the main folder and the script will load automatically.
