This tutorial is great, but when i download the plugin and put it on the timeline, a big green X appears over the effect, and I can't get rid of it. What does this mean?

For all the "problematic" people...
as Andrew said, you do need to install the CycoreFX and you can find them on the installation disk in 7.0, and in CS3 case it's install them automatically.
......And... if you've got the trail version you can find some trail FX from the CycoreFX website. just Google it. hope I helped..

Andrew I love you and all, but ummm... this tutorial didn't exactly tell me how to make my footage look like CSI:Miami. All I need to know is how to make my dv-cam footage fit in with Lord of the Rings, CSI, The Matrix, Pirates, Gladiator etc.

I downloaded and installed all of your presets. they're wicked awesome. On seggestion, for VC fanboys like myself, perhaps you should have a "download all the presets" option. I would have used it.

Hi Forum,
after hours of searching I found a nice solution for the following problem:
AE 7 (language A) cant import some of the Expressions wrote in language B, because AE wont translate it...
Soulution: Download the "translate Expressions" script
right here:
http://www.nabscripts.com/Downloads/downloads_en_3.php?id=6
The script is self-explaining...
Have fun!!

Cool preset. Usually we use filters while production to create as such effect like this where it cannot be changed.
But here this is great as we can create & make changes to our footage of our style on what we want.
