Lots of fake comments lately “nice work” etc are not people that have actually bought anything. I agree with some others, this is overpriced. $10-$15 value max. I don’t need a reply. Also noticed you didn’t publish the question about usage rights…wonder why not, whats to hide?
Dear Clayanimator ! You and your Team did a great job and i bought this one already, But i still not understand about ( License ) . I see two kind of lisense, 1 is call Recular Lisense and 2 is call Extended License and i decided to buy Regular License, price $35, and i used it for my YouTube Channel Videos intro, and i saw you wrote that : (used by you or one client, in a single end product which end user are not charged for) is that means i can used it only one time in my Channel ? or i can used it in each videos in my Channel ? please help to explain, i am not good in English and i really need your explain , Thanks you so much and look forward to here from you, Regards

Nice project! Good luck!
Thank you!
Nice project. But it is very short and the price is very high. This is not fair.
Biggest Sales to You!
Very good work ! Perfect 
Thank you!
So cool.. Good luck..
Thanks. And good luck to you!
THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS for a 7-second clip? This should be about 12 to 15 dollars… MAX.
It doesn’t matter if it took you many hours to make it. Because everybody else here also spends many hours on their projects.
I hope you, and anybody else out there who charges 2 or 3 times more than what a template like this cost just one year ago, gets VERY few sales. Because this jacking up of prices to ridiculous levels has to STOP.
We Videohive customers are getting sick and tired of getting gouged by authors. Because, for $19 a month, I can download 500 templates – or more – from Envato Elements. (And there are over 60,000 AE templates there.) So why should I pay you twice as much as my monthly subscription for just ONE template????
Thank you for your big post. But I don’t see the problem. If you want to buy AE template from Envato Elements – buy it. If you didn’t need my item for that price – you will not buy it. This is free market place. You want to buy for low price and I want to sell for higher price. And over time, the price is changes and becomes acceptable to both sides.
Listen, you do great work, and it’s worthy of many purchases. But at the rate you’re charging, ($35 for 7 seconds of footage), a 60-second template would cost $300! Whereas, the typical 60-second template here is about $25.
And, I have to correct you when you say I want to “buy for a low price”. I actually want to buy for a FAIR price, that allows the author to make a reasonable profit over time. And so does everyone else who buys from this site. I don’t begrudge anyone for getting paid a fair amount for their hard work.
Last week, one author here charged $70 for a single, ordinary, run-of-the-mill template, which last year would have been about $24. And many others are jacking up their prices, too.
So, time will tell if your experiment in having a product that is triple the price of comparable clips works for you. But seeing so many Envato authors doubling their prices in the last year, (without doubling the length or the quality), is getting very tiresome.
Which is why, in the last month, I’ve downloaded over 400 amazing AE templates from Envato Elements for a $19 monthly subscription price, but I haven’t purchased a single template from Videohive. (Even though I used to buy here all the time.) And I have a feeling I’m not alone.
Yes, I understand your point. But you also need to understand that some projects take a lot of time, but will not be sold very often, because they are too specific, even if seller put a low price and the quality will be high. And in order to sell the project more often, it should be done in the most popular style and thus a variety of styles will disappear. And you think it’s fair to buy 400 projects for $ 19? This is $ 0.0475 per project. If the project is bought even 100 times, then the author will receive about 4.7 / 2 = $ 2.3. For Envato, this is beneficial because they receive a fixed fee, and the rest is shared by all authors.
OK, you make some good points.
For templates that are very niche categories, (and thus, won’t get many sales), I think they deserve to be able to charge more, or else authors won’t have incentive to be very creative. You’re right when you say that smaller categories will simply disappear, because everyone will be trying only to satisfy the popular categories. (And I suppose stop-motion claymation might be one of those niche categories—although I can imagine your work actually being used by all sorts of companies and projects, because they look so professional.)
As we’ve seen in the last few years, when one theme goes viral, everyone wants to hop on the bandwagon. First, it was animated typography, then parallax videos, then a zillion “Titles” templates, then “Stomp” videos, and now “Instagram Stories” videos.
So, I appreciate those few authors who create things that are truly unique.
But, at the same time, you have to admit, there’s also a trend toward doubling prices that is disturbing. As I mentioned earlier, someone last week posted a template that was nothing special, and charged $70. (And many others are topping $65 routinely.) So, how long until a single template here costs $100? Will it be a month? Six months?
Even if I downloaded only a single template from Envato Elements for $19, that ends up being a better deal than virtually anything else on this site. (In fact, some authors simultaneously post the same video to Envato Elements and Videohive, on the same day.)
So, I wish you well. But my wallet can only handle so much before I have to look for other solutions. And right now, Envato Elements is hard to resist.
Yes, maybe you are right.
Very Nice Work!!
