As a person who has used VideoHive and ThemeForest for years, I am beyond frustrated with Envato Elements after signing up for it tonight. I have downloaded almost ten After Effects projects that were all shown in the preview before signing up and every single one of them has said I require buying various plugins costing several hundreds of dollars.
There is literally no descriptions in Envato Elements of what things are even needed, I had to reverse engineer what to do. What a horrific bait and switch and horrific UI making it impossible for editors to figure out what incredibly expensive plugins are needed to use the file, I need to know how to get my money back for the annual subscription but they literally have no contact info listed anywhere on their site.
