No – those are placeholders. They are the images and music that are intended to be replaced by you when you customize the project.

If you want to use the images that are originally in the preview, just get in touch with me. They are part of the Envato Asset Library and free to download. I’ll let you know where to find them.

The music is available over at Audiojungle. There’s a link in the description and download.

There are actually only three linked media files in this project. They are to be found in the (Footage) folder. They are ! BKGND.mov (the prerendered background), audio rewind.mov (the audio rewinding sound effect), new logo.ai (the Videohive logo).

If these three files have become unlinked, then it is most likely because you have moved the project file to a different location without copying the (Footage) folder with it.

Don’t be alarmed! You don’t need the Optical Flares plug-in to render this project. The background is pre-rendered.

However, the background was created with Optical Flares and I have left the original layers in the project as a bonus for those users who do own the plug-in. They may want to have a look how it’s set up or maybe make a couple of changes.

But that’s why the errror message comes up. If you don’t have the plug-in, don’t worry – just ignore the error message!
