volume.01 : about

Volume.01 project files let you endlessly modify Chaos Stock backgrounds in After Effects. This innovative approach to stock footage generates unique looks quickly and easily. So what do you find inside the Volume.01 DVD? Read on about the main components.

1–

 

Pre-rendered stock footage. Professional footage, no rendering necessary. Each Chaos Stock disc ships with 20 pre-rendered, high-quality backgrounds. These premade backgrounds are saved at Photo-JPEG compression. They're ready to use with After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Motion, or any other editing/compositing package that supports QuickTime. more

After Effects project files. You also get each of the 20 backgrounds' full project file. It's fast and easy to modify or combine backgrounds. This allows you to create unique and original variations in a fraction of the time it takes to create a project from scratch. more

Live text that's editable. Ever wanted to REALLY customize the message of your project, but you're constrained by stock footage? Now you can. Change those random text characters to say something specific. Turn those 1's and 0's into a stock ticker. Go on... we won't stop you. more

Reusable library elements. Source files such as Illustrator files, Photoshop files, and footage that the project used are all included royalty-free. We've also included After Effects comps and precomps that didn't make their way into the final designs, but still had some visual merit.

5–

 

Training videos. Each Chaos Stock background project also ships with video tutorials, to get you easily into and around the project file. These tutorials explain how the project is put together; how the effects were created; insights into After Effects and the plugins used; and various compositing techniques. Spend some time with our Chief Executive Anarchist, Jim Tierney, as he gives insight into the projects and shows off some plugin voodoo.
