Hi,

Can you tell me how can i save a after effects project, so that need no plugins?

You have all the time 2 Versions:

1 Normal that need Plugins, and 1 PreRendered how can i Create or Save my Project so that is PreRendered?!

Great Thanks :)

Hello there Spreedaeted

You will have to render the layers that need external plugins.
Usually it’s better to render each layer separately.

For example:
If you have a layer with Optical Flares,solo the layer by click the icon next to the “eye” icon and render it to .mov extension.

After you render all the layers than need external plugins, import the videos into your project files and REPLACE them with the old “plugin” layers.
Also make sure to delete the old layers so there won’t be any issues.

Obviously this is limited. You can not “pre-render” a particular effect that forms a logo, because one must replace his own logo and the particular effect will change.

Hope that helps!
If there’s still any issues, feel free to tell me!
Good luck and have a nice day!

-Dan

Hello there Community!

I recently made a new wallpaper for my desktop and I thought I’d share it with you!


Purple is the color of Creativity so having it as a wallpaper may help to get some new ideas ;)

I know my work is not the best,that’s why I keep trying like everyone else.
I just don’t want to change my style so it can fit Envato’s and reviewer’s taste.

It’s not that you have to completely change your style, Dan, but the quality does need to improve for some of your projects to be considered acceptable for sale on the marketplace. This isn’t about you having to change yourself in any way, it’s about improving and evolving your existing style to better yourself as a motion graphics artist.

In this industry, if you remain stagnant and aren’t willing to change with the times, frankly you’ll get left behind. Personally, when I look back at animations that I designed 5 years ago, I laugh at how bad I think they look. But at the time, I thought they were amazing! I’m sure that’s the case for most of us.

The fact of the matter is, as authors, we all have to improve as time goes on. Some of the projects that are in my own portfolio wouldn’t be approved if I submitted them today because our quality standards have risen.

You keep mentioning that you think there are recently accepted projects that are “crap” compared to yours. What is important to realize is that we DO in fact accept projects that are simple in design and execution. However, those simple projects need to be exceptionally-designed and professionally executed.

There’s a major disconnect when you say that you’re not willing to change anything about your work, but continue to be upset about not getting your projects approved for sale.

Again, just keep working on it Dan. You’re very close, but you need to push the envelope a bit, if you’re willing to do so.

I did not say I will not change ANYTHING about my work.
Also,I think I overcame the obstacle of getting rejected long time ago as I have many of my projects approved. It really upsets me trying to do that again because in the comments,it was saying that my projects don’t bring anything new and it’s not beutiful quality-wise.
That means the management inside the project of the execution of the effects I used is alright.

And even if you have problems with the excecution of the project, you should comment on that instead of the appearence.
I do not accept approving some junk projects while telling me that I need to improve the quality of mine.

Once again, I am trying to improve and I will improve in my own way.
We can discuss this in private if you insist and I can send you some examples.
Anyway, I think we discussed this a lot and it became annoying for everyone…

Have a nice day,
-Dan

No one said you have to change your style, improve it.
If you think this is the best you can then you might as well stop trying.
Failure is a learning process but you have to see and admit your failure.
If you can’t do that. No one can help you, not even you.

That’s what I said,I’ll keep trying,
VH tried to improve the quality of the items by rejecting mine and other’s projects.
Although the Home page of VH says that there are still Low quality projects,that’s why I am mad.

Hey man, I don’t want to upset you. I like your work.
You are not arrogant nor realistic.
It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
Charles Darwin.

If you’re intelligent enough, you’ll HAVE to change, don’t you think?
If you do not have a the ability,that’s another thing

I know my work is not the best,that’s why I keep trying like everyone else.
I just don’t want to change my style so it can fit Envato’s and reviewer’s taste.

Obviously the main problem is your 2 year break. Today you can’t still represent this ‘style’.

No. I still can.
Even if the Era changes,I will be the same.
I’ve seen projects that are really junk compared to the rejected ones of mine. It’s not that I am being arrogant, but a realist.

“Today” is just a word,everything can stand everywhere but the tastes of the reviewers are different than mine.
I do not care anymore,sorry for wasting everyone’s time.

They are both way too simple dude. Not much of animation going on. Keep it “moving”.

This is the style that represents me. I like it. Thanks for the advice tho. Cheers, -Dan
