Hello all, we have made a few small changes and I thought I would share them here. We have decided to pull two things down from the site for the time being.
After Effects CS4
We have made the decision to pull CS4 from the drop down of accepted project file versions. CS4 is still a bit too new in our opinion to have it as format we accept. This is only temporary and within a few months we will reassess the situation. When CS4 becomes more standard, we will re-implement it as an acceptable file format.
DVD Menus
This one was a bit tricky. We added it as an file type, but quickly realized that previewing it would be a bit difficult with our current system. If we can’t do something 100%, we shouldn’t be doing it at all. And just like CS4 files, this will eventually return. Once we have the time, and the means to fully support it, it will be re-activated.
So thats basically it. These two things have been temporarily removed. So by all means, feel free to continue developing for them, and when the announcement comes out in a few months that they have been reinstated you will have a nice nest egg of files to upload!
Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns. That about wraps things up.
Looking back on last year, Envato had a pretty big 2008 by any measure. We jumped from 4 sites to 13, a million monthly visitors to 5 million, and while our team began the year numbering 12, we ended it totalling 55 talented reviewers, editors, managers, developers, writers and support staff. With such a crazy year in the rearview mirror, it is with no small excitement that I can say that 2009 is going to make 2008 pale in comparison. And today I’m here to make a huge announcement for all the authors of our marketplaces, give beta invites for a major new site, and give sneak previews for some of our Envato plans!

With the separation of VideoHive, came the much anticipated Project Files section. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many great projects have been pouring in. And even happier to see the great reaction to these files in terms of sales and popularity. More great files are getting submitted daily. The list below features a few of the projects that really stand out.
-
Focal Media Pack
Featuring very simple text over textures with and clean transitions. With some very minimal effort, this can help achieve a sharp text sequence!

-
Advanced Graphic Title
This project belongs on broadcast. I imagine seeing this right before going to a commercial break. I’m sure you could find a ton more uses for it besides that one. Check it out!

-
Animated Green Strokes
During this great title sequence, the green lines guide you on a path around the entire composition. Highlighting the text in a way that is not distracting, but keeps the file moving at a good pace.

-
Rotor
This one is nice and simple. Allowing you to display three key videos/images with text in a very short amount of time, with a huge impact.

-
Spectrum
Quite the impressive project here. This file provides multiple options for displaying content with text. The greatest part is each composition features a unique audio equalizer that actually reacts to whatever audio you throw at it!

-
Logo Box 1
This is the first file like this, and I hope not the last. It highlights basic methods for compositing content generated in 3D packages within After Effects. And if you’re not interested in learning, its a really quick may to make quite the impression.

Be sure to visit the Project Files section and check out all the goods VideoHive has to offer. Now that this section is up and rolling, I think it’s going to be pretty hard to keep it contained!
Hello all!
I just thought I’d post quick to remind everyone to check out AETuts.com. There are bunch of great tutorials already, and the library is growing daily.
One that stands out is the beginner tutorial part 1, written by Kajik. It’s a great beginner’s reference and touches on all of the primary tools.
It spans a wide group of categories including:
- The interface
- Working with footage
- Compositions
- Setting up and saving projects
- Rendering
This is the first part in a series of tutorials, and lays a great foundation. So if you’re new to After Effects and always wanted to learn more, I suggest you jump over there and check it out!
Great job Kajik!
