I started this community in response to numerous requests for a Patreon group, offering early access and the ability to download project files.

This community is a great alternative to our paid courses, providing insights into the basics of After Effects and the creative process without the commitment of a full course.

The real value lies in early access to tutorials and the ability to download project files, giving you a significant learning advantage over YouTube by revealing details not covered in the tutorials.

With your help and feedback, we plan to grow the community over time, adding more tiers & features as it gains popularity.

All project files were created using the latest version of After Effects at that time. If you are using a version older than 6 months old, then some project files may not work. The safest option is to update your After Effects to the latest version.

You'll need an up to date copy of After Effects to follow along and open the project files. Once you join, you'll create a unique login to access our community anytime from your library. Here’s what you’ll get:

• Instant Access to NEW Tutorials: Be the first to watch my latest YouTube videos—weeks before, no waiting!
• Download Project Files & Media: Get the exact files used in tutorials to follow along and practice at your own pace.
• Exclusive Bonus Compositions: Unlock extra, members-only compositions with select tutorials—perfect for your own projects.
• Access to Older Projects: Want more? Get special access to some of my past tutorials. Plus, you can request specific ones to be added!
• Custom Tutorial Requests: Have a burning question or specific topic? Request a personalized YouTube tutorial!
• Join an Exclusive Community: Connect with fellow creators in a private space for advice, feedback, and support.
• Exclusive Offers & Polls: Enjoy special discounts and help shape future content by participating in private polls!

Projects:
Yes, but not all of them. We provide files for all new projects and future tutorials but only some of our older projects. If there's an older project you'd like to see added, you can simply request it! We use royalty-free files for our tutorials and will include free download links.

Project Requests:
If you need files for any older tutorials, you can request them. We'll add the project files, but we can't include copyrighted content directly. Instead, we'll provide links to where you can download them.

Copyrighted Files:
Some older projects use copyrighted files, like "Envato sponsored" videos. We can't include these directly but will provide links and instructions for downloading them. We'll also offer alternative free files when possible. All new tutorials will use royalty-free content.

Compatibility:
All project files were created using the latest version of After Effects at that time. If you are using a version older than 6-12months, some project files may not work.

We offer better monthly rates if you select the 3 or 12 month plans.

In fact, as more trainings and resources are added to the community, the price to join will only increase overtime. By joining now, you lock in this price for as long as you stay subscribed.

Unlike our private Facebook groups, this community is all about the tutorials on our YouTube channel. Here, you can download project files and media, and even watch tutorials before they go live! Best of all, anyone can join without having to buy a course or signup to Facebook.

Our Facebook Groups, on the other hand, are exclusive to students of our Animation Master, Travel Effects Pro, and MotionFX Pro courses. These groups are perfect for asking course-related questions and further honing your skills. Plus, you'll find extra videos and community feedback posts to help you grow even more!

Creating our own community versus using Patreon offers several key advantages. By hosting our community independently, we gain full control over the user experience, allowing us to create more and better features for our members.

Additionally, by avoiding Patreon's fees, we can pass those savings onto our students, making it more affordable for everyone who wants to join. This independence ultimately fosters a stronger, more engaged community where members feel valued and directly connected to our creative journey.

The price you pay will not change! If you sign up now, you will keep that price for as long as you stay subscribed.

For example, if you sign up today at $5 a month, you will always pay that price, even if the price goes up in the future.

But if you cancel your subscription and come back later, you will have to pay the new, higher price.

Note the price will continue to increase into the future, so by joining now you lock in this rate!

Yes of course! You can cancel your "Flat Pack Crew" Subscription at anytime you like by following the steps below.

If you are on a month-to-month plan, you can cancel and your membership will end at the end of the billing period.

If you have chosen a 3 month or 12 month plan, you can cancel and maintain access until the end of your billing cycle.

• Log in: Login to your Flat Pack account.
• Navigate to Settings: Click on your avatar image in the top right hand corner, then select "Settings" from the dropdown.

• Cancel Subscription: You will find a "Cancel" button next to the subscription to initiate the cancellation process. 
• Confirm Cancellation: You'll be prompted to confirm your cancellation. Even after cancelling, you will still have access to the end of your current billing cycle. 
• Need Help: Contact our support, if you need help at any point.
