With our newest release - Sniper 3D Animated Stream Overlays Package - we have added additional files that you asked for in our Elements Creator Feedback Form. The Sniper pack comes with After Effects files for you to be able to edit text to suit your language and channel.
It is highly recommended that you watch a beginners guide to After Effects so that you can locate the areas we are referring to in this guide. This guide has been made with the assumption that you have some experience with the software and is provided to support your customization. You may need certain hardware to run After Effects, and also a subscription, we suggest checking this before you purchase.

1. Unzip and open the file from your download - snp_3d_animated_pack
2. Locate the file Sniper - AE Template folder
3. Ensure you have the fonts from the download installed on your PC - they can be found in the Fonts folder.
4. Open the Sniper AE Template File in After Effects
5. In the "Project Panel" on the left - you will see all of the editable compositions
6. There are 2 sets of text you can edit - the HUD overlay text and the title text for the scenes
7. HUD - in the edit panel at the bottom of the After Effects windows, you will see 4 test layers.
8. Double click on the layer and replace the text with your preferred wording.
9. If the font is not coming up - you have likely not installed it. Please go back to Step 1 and install the font from the Font folder. You will likely need to exit After Effects and restart from Step 1.
10. Title Text - Each composition on the left (Starting Soon, Be Right Back etc.) has editable letters where you can change the title.
11. Double click the text later at the bottom of the window and replace the text with your preferred wording.
12. Do this for all compositions you require.
13. Once you have finished your edits, select the compositions you would like to render and hit "CTRL M" to add to render queue.
14. Select your preferred output and output location. We recommend h.264 but .mov files will be required for any scenes with transparency.
15. Use Shutter encoder or another free software to convert these to WebM files which are more optimized for streaming.
16. You can then directly import these files for use in OBS.
