FAQ
Do I need plugins like Particular or Optical Flares?
No—this template is 100% native to After Effects.
Can I use text instead of a logo?
Yes—swap the logo layer for a text layer or outlined text.
Will it scale to 4K?
Absolutely—set the master comp to 3840 × 2160 and scale assets; vector logos remain razor-sharp.
Is the music included and cleared?
Yes—a royalty-free track is included and synced to the animation’s hit.
Troubleshooting
Jagged logo edges: Use a transparent PNG or vector AI/SVG; avoid JPEG logos.
Colors shift on upload: Export in Rec.709 and disable extra LUTs in your NLE/platform.
Timing feels off after edits: Keep the final impact aligned to the soundtrack’s hit marker.
Choppy previews: Lower preview resolution to Half/Quarter; restore for final output.
