Hello Dear Fellow Authors

I have “only” 3 VH files so far and therefore i have little exoerience about “how, what, where” etc.

Please have a look at my newest file : http://videohive.net/item/high-energy-action-pack-3-audio-driven-templates/149933

I read many of the other treads where people are asking about low sales, and the answer was most of the time ” do something more unique”. As is realy tried to do my “own thing” as good as possible, i think this is not the problem here. Is it maybe the CS5 only ? The price ? The ( way to long in ) intro ?

I’m realy thankful for every of your ideas, as it took me about a month to create the template and 1 sale is realy not what i expected :)

Thank you and have a great day everyone

Okay here’s my thoughts..

I’m currently on my girlfriend’s computer and the internet connection speed is pretty low. Therefore it takes a while to load the preview and I had to wait pretty long time to see any actual footage from your templates.

I think that you should shorten the intro because as we all know people are usually pretty restless when surfing online ;) It’s a fact that people usually leave a website if it takes too long to load.

I hope that this helps you!

Also a fact is that a lot more people are using CS3 /CS4 than CS5 . ;)

Hello Guys

Thank you for your honest opinion ! I took the advantage and changed the preview of the file to a minimum. How is it with straming / bandwith on your side ? Does it take to long to load ?

Plus, does anyone know where does “pixelated” light’s / rays come from ? The transition from light to black is somehow very bad :(

Thanks again and i hope i can be of a help oneday for you as well :)

No problem! :) Everything seems fine now and the video loads smoothly. The “pixelation” you are talking about is called banding. You could try to work using a color depth of 16-bpc or 32-bpc. More about that and other techniques to reduce banding here:

Hope this helps, Timo
