Hi
I’ve just bought your M&M template and it is very impressive with excellent help files. That said I still have 2 questions:
1. I’ve followed the car illustration steps from your tutorial video. When I try and trace paths in my comp layer the background is black and I cant see them. On your video your background is transparent which makes tracing the vector much easier. Can you help here?
2. Also I have substituted the font but it only has an upper case option (even though the font has both cases available in illustator). Is this a setting in after effects that needs adjusting?
Thanks in advance, Lee
Hi Lee, Thank you for purchasing! I’m happy that you are pleased with the template and the help files. You can toggle the transparency by clicking the grid at the bottom of the comp window as seen here: http://i1.creativecow.net/u/105402/toggletransparencygrid.png Also, you can allow for both cases to be shown by clicking the TT icon at the bottom of the character window as seen here: http://sites.duke.edu/oit-mps/files/2011/04/01_character.jpg. If you can’t see this option expand the window downward. I hope this helps. Best Regards!
Hi I am a newbie to AE and is interested to buy this for my project. My question is (i) does “the hand holding the pen” automatically follows the outline of my own custom-created pictures without me having to do anything? (ii) For the pictures that I would like to use, is it as simple as putting it into your placeholders and the lines would automatically animate from a line to a complete drawing? Where can I find the Tuts to understand how to work with this wonderful AE design?
Hi, thank you for your interest in this template. No the hand will not automatically follow custom-created pictures. Here is a video that shows the process of adding your own artwork http://vimeo.com/63871750 Regards 
Thank you. The Tut was great and I would recommend this to anyone.
Hi! Is there a way to edit the length of the video, cutting out sections? Also, there was a video I had seen before I purchased that showed how to replace the artwork, but I can’t find it now, can you give me a link? Thanks 
Hi thank you for purchasing! I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately it will take some effort to cut out sections. You can email me here for instructions (http://videohive.net/user/motioncraver (bottom right) as I I don’t have a video on removing a slide yet. Here is a link to the how to videos I have completed: http://vimeo.com/channels/531654
Hi i just bought this template and i’m having a problem with the font.
I’m spanish speaker and need the font with accents (Á,É,Í,Ó and Ú) and the character Ñ
Do you know how can i have these letters in Denne’s Old Handwriting font?
Hello
Thank you for your purchase! You can use the Andrew Script font instead http://www.dafont.com/andrew-script.font or use the text tool to highlight and replace the characters with accents with Andrew Script as the font blends pretty well with the Denne’s font Regards.
Hi,
Great and easy files to work with. I love it.
However 2 things.
1. Audio didn’t show up even though I followed your steps in the video. How do I solve this?
2. I want to remove Pic 4-5-6 meaning shortening the video. How do I do that?
Thanks!
Hi Thank you for purchasing! 1. That’s strange. Did you successfully replace the Audio Placeholder with the music track, but you can’t hear anything? 2. The short answer is that you would need to remove the keyframes for that section from the Camera Control layer in the Main Comp. Then, move the rest of the keyframes backwards to close the gap as well as moving the layers that come after that point backward until the animation is once again in sync. If you need more detailed instructions, please email me here: (http://videohive.net/user/motioncraver (bottom right) and I’d be happy to provide you with more info as well as help you troubleshoot the audio problem. Best Regards!
Amazing work mate! Love it! Congratulations!! 
Thank you so much for the love! 
Love the template and am playing with it right now, I am trying to follow your tut on how to replace a drawing (the dart board with a car) and am having trouble at the point where I should paste the Ai art into the Marks, I have it selected but am unable to paste it is grayed out in the Edit menu, any ideas why?
Who knows what I was doing, its working now, thanks for the great work
Glad to hear it’s working for ya
Thank you for purchasing. Let me know if you have any questions. You can email me here http://videohive.net/user/motioncraver (bottom right) Cheers!
Hi,
I really like this video and I wonder if it would work with Hebrew fonts that are written from right to left. Could I technically apply Hebrew fonts in this video if I am willing to compromise on the conflicted writing/drawing directions?
Thanks,
Tamir
Hi Tamir, thank you for your interest in this template. As far as I know AE still doesn’t support languages written from right to left. But there are some work a rounds found here http://videohive.net/forums/thread/typing-in-hebrew/47995. As far as this template is concerned I would suggest making your own text layer in the text comps as the text layer that is included has the writing animation. I hope this helps. Best Regards!
One Request: Could you provide a teenage boy and girl, so I can use it for a student audience?
Thanks.
Hi, I am working on an update for this template and I’ll be sure to include your request. Regards.
Outstanding! Many teachers and authors, like me, might be customers, so please do consider the education market! It is growing like crazy! Thanks.
Roughly how long before you have a draft you can share? Days, weeks, or months away? Thanks.
Hi, the update should be done by the end of this month for sure, but hopefully sooner. 
Outstanding! Look forward to it. Fingers crossed for you. Keep up the great work. Thanks and enjoy!
Hello Motion.
I want to buy your template today. but can i ask first where I can edit the video? is there any software to use? Please tell me.
Thanks
Hello, You will need Adobe After Effects, but the template will work with their trial version. I included the link in the email I sent you. Cheers.
Hi there, just purchased this template recently on a different account recently. Great template might I add!
Quick question though…I am wondering if there’s an easy for me to add a 4th point and image at around 1m10s? I tried duplicating one of this previous slides but that seemed to throw everything out of whack. Any help here would be appreciated.
Hello. I apologize for the delay. To add a fourth point you would need to duplicate a text comp and a img/vid comp in the Project Panel. Next, add your new text and media to the duplicate placeholders. Then, place them in the timeline where you want them to appear. Find the Camera Control layer and make a new position keyframe so that you can see your new content. Then select all the position keyframes on the Camera Control layer that come after your new fourth point and move them forward, as well as all the layers that come after that point until the animation is once again in sync. I hope this helps. Please email me here: http://videohive.net/user/motioncraver (bottom right) if you have any questions, or need more detailed instructions. Regards.
Guys (and the girl with sexy voice on tutorial video) u made my day! Perfect project even for ppl with little knowledge in AAE. I wish there would be more “other ilustrations” Please think about adding a few characters and items.
I strongy recomend to anyone who wishes to present product/service on www!
br, d
I’m glad you like the template..and my voice Haha. Thank you for the glowing recommendation! You made my day. I will make more drawings soon for various industries. Cheers!
why this project is not compatible with characters like é, ç, á and etc? this is a problem from me… its a heavy text based and in portuguese we do have lots of accents… if it doesnt work I will be very sad…can you help me with that?
ok the problem seems to be the font… can you suggest me another one and just give me hint on how to change the fonts? I’m newbie in AE
Hello again
, you can use this font instead http://www.dafont.com/andrew-script.font
You change the font in the character window http://sites.duke.edu/oit-mps/files/2011/04/01_character.jpg It should be on the right side of the Comp Window. If it isn’t open choose Window > Character from the top menu. The Andrew Script font blends pretty well with the Denne’s font shown in the preview, so if you want you can just highlight the unsupported characters with the text tool and change them to the Andrew Script font. Regards.
thx I’ll give it a try… I was able to render de other project with the settings you send me (that video on vimeo) and as I didnt say it before… Your products rocks… Your video tutorials (included with the project) are really very usefull… please dont ever miss this quality… btw… we are a software house from Brazil… and now using your products we are able to make our product promo and the opener for our screen casts… BTW do you have one template for using with screen casts? like the container for the vídeo on side and a place where i can put text in the other? ... beside that thx for your help … you rocks
… just one last question… is there a way in this template to make the last logo be diferente from the first one?
never mind…. I got it 
Thank you very much for the positive feedback…you rock! I’m happy to hear that the video helped and that you like the template
I don’t have a template that would work well with screen casts yet but I’ll definitely keep it in mind for the future.
Great work, really digging it! And perhaps you can use some of my music for your future projects. 
Thank you. I’ll check out your portfolio. 
Love it. Thanks for the great work! How long should it take to render? I’m rendering in the recommended 1280×720 ands estimating 13 hrs to complete!! I have a decent desktop (8GBs ram / Quad core). Is there any settings that I can tweak? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Glad you like the project
Render time will vary based on your system. It takes around 5 1/2 hrs on my machine, but it is more powerful. I usually render as an JPEG image sequence first, then bring the image sequence into the project and render it following the steps in this video http://vimeo.com/24027726 You can also press the Caps Lock key after you begin rendering to disable the render preview and cut down the render time a bit. I hope this helps. Thank you for purchasing! Regards.
Wonderful job ! I have some music that seems suitable for your projects: http://audiojungle.net/item/joyful-ukulele/5284938 and http://audiojungle.net/item/ukulele-and-guitar/5320587. Best regards
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have a listen
Regards!
Hi,
Would you please describe what you mean by the “drawing source files,” which are not included, and the “comps,” which are included?
For example, in the video there is an image of a target that does not just appear – a hand appears and draws it. Does this animation come with the template?
What I am asking is, if I get the template, will I be able to swap in my own text and have a video just like the one in the demo, or will I still be missing something because I don’t have the drawing source files?
Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for asking. Yes the animation of the target with the hand and all others shown in the “Included Illustration Comps” image come with the template. You will have everything you need to make a video like the one in the demo as long as you have After Effects. The drawings source files (Adobe Illustrator vectors) are not required and therefore are not included. I hope this helps. Regards!
i have perches Broadcast Design, but when i opening the project it in AF cs6, it showing alert like: this project must be converted from version 9.0.3 (windows) and will open as an untitled project.The regional file will be unchanged.
please suggest me what can i do….its urgent….
Thanks
Hello, is there is an option to click “ok” or “open”. If so what happens when you choose this option? Does the file open?
Hi, the text works with other lenguages? for exs. Czech?
Hi, Thank you for your interest in this template. The font from the preview only supports English characters. However, you can use another font as long as the text is written from left to right. This font supports some special characters: http://www.dafont.com/andrew-script.font, and I have used it in the past to replace the letters the Denne’s font (shown in the preview) doesn’t support. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Friend, I am not finding the illustrations included, where is it located?
Hello, thank you for purchasing! The illustration comps can be found in the folder named illustrations inside of the project. If you are asking about source files, they are not included or available as mentioned in the description.
