I’m not sure that there’s a limit, but there’s a limit to people’s attention spans.

Can I use only the same first video, changing the video in the picture … sorry I’m a beginner , can you explain how and which software can I use ?

It’s not a template, it’s a bespoke music video. You’d need to start by filming it. You’d then need to edit it, then you’d need to do the visual FX. The edit can be handled by Final Cut, Avid or Premiere. There are many programs that can help you with the visual FX side. After Effects is a good place to start. Nuke, Fusion, Smoke too.

Generally, whole teams of people work on music videos. It’s not really a technique you’re going to learn overnight as a beginner.

The hack that Spirit mentions above is documented in greater detail here…

Beware – You do this at your own risk. These graphics cards are not on the white-list for a reason – they are not considered stable enough in After Effects yet. If you are using a Kepler-class graphics card, as Todd Kopriva puts it “Cards not on the whitelist may fail, and fail badly.”

As for the Quadro 600, the link above says that it will work if the card has at least 1GB of video RAM . Yours is just short, Cyzer… so who knows how it will behave.

Here’s a detailed discussion from the Adobe forums.

Hi Lance,

I’ve read the articles and I’d just like to clarify a couple of specifics – as a Videohive author.

First example. If I have an After Effects project file that’s selling well that uses an Audio Jungle track, I could boost the value of that file by buying an extended licence for the music track and selling it bundled with the After Effects project. The project is suddenly $10 better value, it would only take 4 extra sales to make back the cost of the Extended Licence. That’s a no-brainer. (from a practical point of view).
A sound effect is used exactly like this in one of the specific examples mentioned in the articles, so I guess it’s allowed. The music is not technically “incorporated” into the project, however. It is simply a linked asset and needs to be included “as is” as part of the download – a standalone if you like. It doesn’t need to be extracted or anything clever like that. It’s more like a bundle.
If this is all allowed and if I do this (I’m not sure I necessarily want to, but hypothetically) do I have to credit the author or could I sell it as my own work? (I always would credit the author, but I’m interested to learn how far this can go)
For myself, I like the idea of buying an Extended Licence for an AJ track and bundling it with my project download. It’s beneficial to me. But I have a nagging doubt at the back of my mind about whether this is morally right.

Second example. Someone buys a Videohive project from me… It’s a logo sting After Effects project. They import this project into another “bigger” After Effects project and sell it on Videohive. How about that? And let’s even take this example further: Let’s say I have a project that I made that has placeholders / text etc. and I have another, aesthetically similar logo sting project… in fact, just for the sake of argument, let’s assume I’m also an Audio Jungle author and that I have a completely separate item on AJ, which is a music track. Can someone buy an extended licence for my placeholder project, my logo project, my audio track, bolt them together in 10 minutes and sell it as a bigger project? Or is the crucial point that the format has to change… an After Effects project cannot be used in another After Effects project. If someone does do the above, then if I later choose to bolt my own items together into the same bigger project, do I run the risk of having it rejected, because it’s too similar to an already existent item?

My problem is that I often work out quite complex code for automating procedures in my projects. This is hard work. I want to be able to sell extended, so my work can be used on DVD releases etc. but I’d rather people didn’t just buy my projects, change the music track, colors, typeface and feel that they can legitimately sell it as their own. I would also object to projects being dismantled and asset (whether code, animations, designs) being broken out and used in other template projects. Once again, it feels that there are a lot of grey areas and that the licence is potentially legitimising something that doesn’t feel right. It’s open to abuse.
