5. Mister Horse, Featured Item: Previewer - Quickly Preview Files

In typical unconventional style, Mr Horse demonstrates a plugin built specially for Adobe After Effects, enabling you to quickly preview files in the Project Panel.

4. AS_100, Featured Item: Diamond

You will be fooled by the rocks AS_100’s got… this full HD video loop of a diamond spinning is just lovely. Prepare to be captivated by the colours and the light glinting off the surface.

3. Videolancer, Featured Item: Detective

Detective is a download that simply oozes cool. With shades of noir, it provides a fun template in the style of an investigation file, with 64 media placeholders and 34 for text. There are a total of 24 scenes, so plenty to play around with. The game’s afoot!

2. Gorodenkoffs, Featured Item: Skydiver Jumping from the Airplane

My legs wobble just looking at this stock video. We see a skydiver leap fearlessly from a plane in this piece of footage. The time of day makes this a really lovely piece and it’s well filmed; even more impressive when you think about the cameraman jumping from the plane too!
