Helpful Tips For Using Video Templates
- Templates are great as a starting point, but make sure to play around and tweak parameters to suit your project, creating something new and your own.
- Start with templates that don't require plug-ins. You'll find that with small steps you'll be getting the hang of it.
- Many template downloads come with a tutorial. It's fun to jump in head first and figure things out on your own, but watching the tutorials will save you time.
- If you're using many different templates across different projects, remember to be organized and keep them in relevant, well-labelled folders. If not, you'll find yourself in an uncomfortable, disorganized situation later on.
- Before jumping in to your project, try playing around with the template with no pressure. Learn the ins and outs of the template by taking the pressure off.
