  8. Preview & Test: Preview the template within your project to ensure it seamlessly integrates. Test playback, transitions, and animations for a smooth result.
  9. Save Custom Variations: If you modify templates significantly, save your customized version as a preset for future use, maintaining consistency across projects.
  10. Keep Backup Copies: Duplicate your project before making extensive changes to templates. This safeguards against accidental overwrites or undesired alterations.
  11. Learn & Adapt: As you use templates, learn from their structure and effects. This knowledge can help you create custom elements in the future.

If you need transitions, effects, or smooth animations, find a template that packs them in. Templates that come with clear instructions or a tutorial are a lifesaver, especially if you’re diving in for the first time.

Remember, your project is unique; the right template should be its perfect sidekick. So, think about your needs, and choose a template that’s tailor-made for your creative journey.
