    check your composition flow because some compositions are nested in another comp so when you make change in one it can make a change in another comp. It depends on the template main designer.

    Where did you buy it?

    Most templates come with tutorials.

    To understand how a template works you have to open up the Flow Chart view and drill down through the nested comps. To see how the nested comps work you have to select all layers and press the U key twice to see all of the modified properties of all the layers in the comp. Without a complete picture of what is going and an understanding of the relationship between layers, nested comps and effects you are guaranteed to screw something up if you start messing with the in and out points and keyframes on layers.

    You also need to know these things:

    • Templates are complicated.  If they were NOT complicated, who would buy them?  Everyone would make their own projects.
    • Template makers assume you have at least an intermediate knowledge of AE.
    • Every template maker does things differently.  There are no standard rules for making templates.

    So if you are a beginner, you may not be successful just because you have a template.
