    Thanks for the kind words all. The template is pretty versatile if you’re willing to get in there and mess with stuff- especially the Form settings - I got so many cool looks and I’d love if you come up with something awesome I didn’t even think of. I love you all.

      I downloaded the project files, but there is only one folder called "Footage" - no template? Besides that, I loved it! Where can I find the template?

      @ - odd - we’ve checked it on this end several times. I’d suggest trying the download again and contacting support if that doesn’t get it.
