1. Handy Seamless Transitions — Adobe After Effects Presets
Every video editor needs transition effects at their disposal. Even though basic video editing apps feature some built-in transitions, this pack is worth the purchase. It includes exciting animated transitions you can use to switch scenes.



2. Lower Thirds — After Effects Project Elements
A lower thirds pack is also a great buy for beginners. Many videos will need some type of overlay or explainer text on top of the video, and these clean and easy effects are a breeze to use. Drop in your own text and change the highlight color to make it feel right at home in your own video.

It's really a great shortcut to cut down on the work involved with creating animations.



4. Digital Slides — After Effects Slideshow Template
If you don't have video footage you can use, the next best thing is to transform your still images with animation. This project is perfect for dropping your images onto the timeline and creating an eye-catching slideshow effect.
