Hi Taerar,

I absolutely love your toolkit and am considering purchasing it for a new product I will be launching. I do have a question about customizing the characters though. Would it be possible for me to substitute the shoes the characters are wearing? Our product is a boot and this would only work for us if the characters could actually wear the boots.

I am comfortable with After Effects, though I switched to Motion years ago and haven’t regularly used AE since.

Thank you!

Hi there Robertisimons,

I’m glad you like the template!
Of course you can substitute boots, pants, and every part of character ;) Everything is made inside After effects so you have acces to all parts and you can play with them.

Take a look on this tutorial where is shown customization of characters body parts (in this case hairs, but principe is the same everywhere). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI1enqy7IUA&feature=c4-overview&list=UU31yJqLc4mGy60iDWJ8i4eQ

I’m new here, I like your toolkit. If i’m making one explainer for a client for them to put on their site and use at their will what license do I need to purchase? Great work:-)

Hi there Ivan, and thank you for interest,

There is just one main question for you which is important. Do theirs customers have to pay to see videos where is explainer video toolkit used ?
YES -> Extended License
NO -> Regular License ;)
I hope this short tip has helped you !
Have a nice day !

Dear Taerar,

This looks fantastic. I would like to ask a question (place a comment) before I purchase it. Please don’t take this as criticism of great work by you as this does look excellent. But perhaps an idea for a small addition which i think will mean it be suitable for a lot bigger market. The pre-designed characters unfortunately all fit pretty much a same stereotype. For instance, I would like to create an animation presentation which is about students, young people. But the the characters pre-designed don’t fit this demographic. They all seem kind of the same ‘professional’ age. Maybe you designed this with working professionals in mind, but I feel given all the variables you have provided, there is much more potential. Is there any chance you could add a male and female teenager to the portfolio? This is a major market target group, so having this represented within the custom portfolio would be great. It would have certainly fit my needs and I am sure by adding these two, you will increase the product’s ‘reach’ to a larger audience also. I know you have done great by including SIX characters already, the above addition will be the icing on the cake.

Not sure what others think, but this will certainly fit my needs.

Thanks, Lal

Hi there Lal, and thank you very much for suggestion! ;)
I totally agree with you, and noticed this as one of template’s main absence. However, brand new explainer video toolkit is on the way with new characters which are completely different to each other and they looks way more interesting ;) Stay tuned for this and many others upgrades!

hi, its possible to i use my own mascot/person? i have a one for a company, thats different. i can use other instead yours? tks.

Hi there, Sure its possible, but it has it’s limitations. All body parts have pre defined space wchich is counting (mesh) . If you overdraw this mesh it won’t works (this is only for hands, legs and body… head you can customize as much as you want) . check out how much space you have at image below:

Hi I am a newbie went it comes to all this. Do I need a software to edit this or can I just buy it. What software do I need and is there a place I can use like open source version?

Thanks for your time.

Hi there,
Yap you need Adobe After Effects CS5 or higher version, Current version is Adobe After Effects CC and you can monthly rent it for few bucks. http://www.adobe.com/sk/products/aftereffects.html
Or second option is to give this template to some freelancer with your script or storyboard and somebody will customize it for you. There are plenty skilful guys at http://www.freelancer.com or http://www.elance.com
Have a nice day! ;)

Hello ! thx a lot for this template !

I’ve just a question : how to install Explainer Video Toolkit Presets ? i’ve Windows Seven… Thank you

Hi there! And thank you for purchasing! ;)
Just copy the presets folder to “your hard drive” -> Program files -> Adobe -> After Effects (your version) -> Support Files -> Presets

More about presets you can find at tutorial called “Using Presets” ;)

It works ! thx :)

Very good Job!! see my music if you like ;)

Thank’s Dim! I’ll take a look ;)

And where can I control the shaky camera effect?

Hi there,
In “Effects Control”panel -> if you don’t have this panel, turn it on at Window -> Effect Controls.

Then you can play with different values of Ammount, size etc…

I mean the shaky camera, not the shaky edge of the graphic. Thanks!

Ahaa!
This “advanced wiggle” preset is mainly for separated things like if you want to wiggle “lapop or anything else). But I’ll tell you also how to attach it to camera ;)

1. At first you have to create new null object.
2. Parrent camera to null object,
3. Drop wiggle preset to null object
4. in Null object’s effect panel -> select transform and set Anchor point and Position to [0, 0] and [0, 0] (the second [0 , 0] is enough to just be somewhere around 0.
5. Open Null’s Position property (press P) -> Right click on it and separate dimensions.
6. Alt + Click on X Position and paste this expression: transform.xPosition+effect(“Transform”)(“Position”)[0]
The same for Y Position and paste this expression: transform.yPosition+effect(“Transform”)(“Position”)[1]

Done! ;) If you’ll get in troubles email me and I’ll send you Camera rig with this wiggle effect.
Have a nice day!

Why the Lower third Composition 01-07 is the same style?

Hey!
They are duplicated because it is a great chance somebody will need use this Lower third more than once, So they are duplicated to avoid mistakes when somebody adjust lower third and then use the same L3D in another place and again adjust = first L3D will change too.

So if you have more duplicated L3Ds, you don’t get into troubles ;)

Hello,

With the Regular License, can I use it to create multiple videos for just one website?

Also, do you have an example of the support videos? To see how simple is to change and customize the scenes.

Thanks, Fran.

Nice Fredy!! Thanks a lot!

Fredy, could you confirm me that I can use Regular License to create more than 1 video, just for 1 single website? I don’t want to have any problem! Is the only thing I need to confirm to buy!!! :)

Sure, this is OK ;) Don’t worry Fran!

how can i apply the shaky effect on my own created graph ? Thanks!

Hi there edmondmak, and thank you for purchasing!
it´s simple, just copy Adjustment layer with “shaky effect” (from clean composition) and paste it over your layer or composition where you have your graph. Or second option is to just copy the effect and paste it straight to graph layer. ;)

Great Job! I got a question for you before buying this. I’m wondering if I could replace the characters, please let me know what you used to make the characters (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc).

thanks!

Hi there, and thank you for interest! ;)
All characters are made from shapes inside After Effects, so you can simply customize them inside AE. There is also tutorial included which shows you how to do that. You can also see it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI1enqy7IUA&feature=c4-overview&list=UU31yJqLc4mGy60iDWJ8i4eQ

Thanks very much! I’ll get it then :)

hi, i am interested this item. The background music track is included?

Hi there kmeng,
Nope, music is not included but you can purchase it for few bucks frm audiojungle. Links for all tracks are at the bottom of item description. ;)

Hi,

Does this work in After Effects CS4?

Hi there David,
Nope this version is only CS5 and higher version compatible. Having at least CS5 version really pays of – it’s way faster.

Thanks for the swift answer. I’ll have a word with the boss….

Thank you! ;)

Great Work! I’m really pleased of my choice. with voicebunny my video will be perfect. Thanks a lot for your work

Thank you Keymaster! It’s such a nice to hear positive feedback! ;)

Nice work! Check out my latest corporate motivational track.Great music for your videos.

Great work! ;) Thank you!

Guys, video is awesome! One question – we run wedding agency. Is there any option for us (may be character as fiancé)? thx.

Hi tere, and thank you ! ;)
Sure, you can customize characters to look like fiance or bride, there is also included tutorial how to adjust shapes and customize characters.

well, nice. but I’m not professional in drawing))) hope its easy

Love this template! :) Are you working on other styles? What’s your next product going to be?

Hi there Daniel, Thank you! ;) Yap I’m working on something but It’s secret :P … Anyway I’m sure you will like it !

Hi, I’m interested:

Hi there hequiroga and thank you for interest, Yes, voiceover included means that the voiceover from preview video is inside package but I’m not sure how to change part of voiceover to tell different name. I could give you contact to the author of voiceover and he could just record parts which you want to replace again. Or, making your own brand new voiceover is simple and fast too. It costs around 80$ per minute and I can give you refferal which will give you another 20% discount.

Send me a PM, thanks! :)

Thanks! Do you remember the actors name?

sorry, actors id?
