Project​ ​Navigation
Open​ ​“MAIN​ ​COMP”​ ​to​ ​navigate​ ​through​ ​the​ ​timeline​ ​and​ ​all​ ​scenes.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​find​ ​“Placeholder”​ ​comps
inside​ ​each​ ​“Scene”​ ​comp,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​text​ ​layers,​ ​“Camera​ ​Controls”,​ ​“Scene​ ​controls”,​ ​“Background”,
shape​ ​layers,​ ​and​ ​others.​ ​In​ ​some​ ​comps​ ​shape​ ​layers​ ​are​ ​hidden,​ ​press​ ​“shy”​ ​button​ ​to​ ​reveal​ ​them.

Navigate​ ​through​ ​all​ ​project​ ​comps​ ​inside​ ​project​ ​panel.​ ​All​ ​folders​ ​are​ ​named​ ​and​ ​sorted​ ​for​ ​your
convenience.
Import​ ​and​ ​Insert​ ​your​ ​Media

on​ ​project​ ​panel.
2. Drag​ ​your​ ​media​ ​inside​ ​“Footage”​ ​and​ ​“Placeholder”​ ​comps.​ ​Scale​ ​them​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​composition​ ​size.
You​ ​can​ ​also​ ​change​ ​Placeholder​ ​size​ ​from​ ​composition​ ​settings​ ​(Ctrl+K).​ ​Delete​ ​“Delete​ ​me.jpg”
footage​ ​from​ ​“Assets”​ ​folder,​ ​when​ ​all​ ​placeholders​ ​are​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​your​ ​media.
3. Insert​ ​your​ ​logo​ ​into​ ​“Logo​ ​Square”​ ​and​ ​“Logo​ ​Horizontal”​ ​comps.

Edit​ ​Scenes
1. To​ ​edit​ ​text​ ​layers,​ ​double​ ​click​ ​them​ ​and​ ​type​ ​your​ ​text.​ ​Change​ ​text​ ​position​ ​with​ ​the​ ​move
tool.​ ​Edit​ ​text​ ​colors​ ​by​ ​selecting​ ​them​ ​and​ ​changing​ ​the​ ​color​ ​attribute​ ​or​ ​edit​ ​applied​ ​effects
like​ ​“Gradient​ ​Ramp”​ ​in​ ​effects​ ​tab.
2. To​ ​edit​ ​Background​ ​colors,​ ​select​ ​“BG”​ ​of​ ​each​ ​comp​ ​layer​ ​and​ ​edit​ ​fill​ ​effect.​ ​“BG”​ ​of​ ​some
comps​ ​is​ ​nested​ ​in​ ​parent​ ​comps.

hidden,​ ​press​ ​“shy”​ ​button​ ​to​ ​reveal​ ​them.

Edit​ ​Camera
Some​ ​“Camera​ ​controller”​ ​layers​ ​have​ ​animated​ ​properties​ ​that​ ​are​ ​driving​ ​timing​ ​of​ ​a​ ​scene.​ ​Press​ ​“U”
to​ ​reveal​ ​and​ ​edit​ ​them.

All​ ​cameras​ ​in​ ​the​ ​project​ ​are​ ​connected​ ​to​ ​a​ ​null​ ​with​ ​default​ ​speed​ ​controls​ ​for​ ​each​ ​axis.​ ​Set​ ​required
speed​ ​to​ ​apply​ ​constant​ ​movement​ ​to​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​directions.​ ​Set​ ​number​ ​to​ ​a​ ​negative​ ​value​ ​to​ ​move​ ​in
opposite​ ​direction.​ ​Isometric​ ​scenes​ ​also​ ​have​ ​“Camera​ ​Angle”​ ​nulls,​ ​that​ ​are​ ​controlling​ ​angles
separately​ ​from​ ​position​ ​null.

Edit​ ​Timings
To​ ​edit scene​ ​duration,​ ​in​ ​most​ ​cases,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​change​ ​keyframes​ ​inside​ ​it,​ ​that​ ​are​ ​animating
text​ ​layers,​ ​camera​ ​movement,​ ​shape​ ​layers.​ ​Inside​ ​comp​ ​press​ ​“U”​ ​without​ ​any​ ​layer​ ​selected,​ ​to​ ​reveal
all​ ​keyframes.​ ​From​ ​there​ ​select​ ​those​ ​that​ ​are​ ​required​ ​to​ ​be​ ​moved​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​change​ ​durations.
After​ ​changes​ ​inside​ ​comp,​ ​don’t​ ​forget​ ​to​ ​edit​ ​keyframes​ ​in​ ​“MAIN​ ​COMP”,​ ​that​ ​are​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​a
scene​ ​to​ ​appear​ ​or​ ​a​ ​transition​ ​to​ ​reveal​ ​underlying​ ​comp.​ ​Also,​ ​change​ ​comp​ ​duration​ ​and​ ​move​ ​other
comps​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​new​ ​animation​ ​timings.​ ​Cut​ ​out​ ​comps​ ​that​ ​are​ ​not​ ​currently​ ​visible​ ​to​ ​shorten​ ​render
times.

Duplicate​ ​Scenes
1. Import​ ​same​ ​project​ ​file​ ​inside​ ​template.​ ​File​ ​>​ ​Import​ ​>​ ​File.
2. Find​ ​required​ ​scene​ ​and​ ​insert​ ​it​ ​inside​ ​“MAIN​ ​COMP”.​ ​Use​ ​new​ ​placeholders​ ​from​ ​imported
project​ ​file.

Render
1. From​ ​“MAIN​ ​COMP”​ ​drag​ ​work​ ​area​ ​to​ ​the​ ​start​ ​and​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​comp​ ​(or​ ​desired​ ​final​ ​output
duration).​ ​You​ ​can​ ​use​ ​shortcuts​ ​“B”​ ​and​ ​“N”.
2. Press​ ​Ctrl+M​ ​to​ ​add​ ​this​ ​comp​ ​to​ ​render​ ​queue.
3. Choose​ ​output​ ​format​ ​and​ ​press​ ​Render.​ ​In​ ​most​ ​cases,​ ​optimal​ ​output​ ​file​ ​setting​ ​is​ ​QuickTime,
h.264,​ ​Quality​ ​80.
