volume.01 : projects

By including the After Effects projects along with their final renders, Chaos Stock gives you unlimited creativity and flexibility.

Every part of the project files is modifiable and reusable. You even mix elements between AE projects, and we've created terrific training videos to get you started. It's a revolutionary concept in royalty-free background design.

Every part of the After Effects project files are modifiable and reusable. This includes layers, keyframes, masks, layer modes, and (of course) effect settings for Text Anarchy plugins.

Your Chaos Stock projects have a virtual library of effects and pre-made elements. You can move around Photoshop files, Illustrator files, QuickTime movies, and AE comps from the 'Pre-rendered Elements' and 'Source Files' fodlers. Save the live text effects and other filter parameters as Animation Presets for later use.

You can easily copy Chaos Stock components into a new or different project file. For instance, bring Project #02's Photoshop source into Project #19 as a design element.

We've even included elements that came about during our design process as a library of extra elements. Just look for the 'Unused Elements' folder in each Project window.

The After Effects projects are saved out as both NTSC and PAL. You'll find 'NTSC' and 'PAL' folders in the AE project window. There are NTSC compositions with plugins applied, and NTSC comps without plugins. There are also PAL versions of each. Any pre-rendered source movies included with the project are saved at NTSC.

 

The projects and footage in Volume.01 are all Standard Definition (SD). None of the material ships as High Definition (HD). If you are looking for quality HD footage, check out our Volume.02: Light package!

To make the most of Volume.01 projects, you will need our Text Anarchy plugins installed. We have some text effects pre-rendered as QickTime movies that you can optionally use. But most of the text is live, since that's the real power of Volume.01.

We've saved the best news for last! Volume.01 comes with amazing video tutorials. Our Chief Executive Anarchist, Jim Tierney, walks you through each project's layers, effects, tranformations, important keyframes, and expressions.

Jim even talks about some non-Chaos Stock stuff, such as using built-in After Effects filters for compositing and techniques like displacement mapping. It's informative
