“Starter Kits are immediately available for download”? Went to that site and had to register, first. Site stated that the link to download would be e-mailed to me. It’s been over an hour and no such e-mail.
How does one receive the Vitascene Starter Kit?
I have Adobe Premiere Pro, but do not have After Effects. Does Vitascene or Adorage require After Effects, to function?
