Create with After Effects Templates
Adobe After Effects is a powerful program. Use it well, and you’ll create high-quality motion graphics and visual effects that rival those of professional filmmakers. Use it poorly, and you’ll lose your audience in a matter of seconds. This is where templates come in… Not only do After Effects templates provide an easy starting point for any video, but they can also help guide you through the complex world of After Effects itself.
Envato Elements has a large range of After Effects templates available to help you create engaging projects. And the best bit? Everything is included in an Envato Elements subscription, so you can download as much as you like on a monthly or annual plan.
What Are After Effects Templates?
Adobe After Effects templates are pre-made project files broken down into editable layers, usually involving animated elements, motion graphics, typography, and much more.
Learning how to use video templates gives you a base to start from that you can then adapt to suit your needs. If you’re happy with the design, editing an After Effects template can be as simple as dropping your content into the provided placeholders. If you’d prefer to customize it to match your brand, you can dig into further layers and update the colors, fonts, animations, and other elements.
You can use After Effects templates to create captivating opening sequences for films, memorable slideshows of still images, striking brand reveals, and so much more.
