Now in the last movie you saw me showing off some of these cool flare presets here.…And you noticed that I have several folders that you might not have.…Conspiracy, Pro Presets, and Pro Presets 2.…And by the way, this number in parentheses…indicates how many flare presets are in that folder.…So in Pro Presets here I have 50 different presets.…And really the Pro Presets are the cream of the crop.…These are the best presets.…So I'd like to share with you how you can get Conspiracy Pro Presets…and pro presets two as well as a host of other great flare presets.…
So I'm going to go to videocopilot.net where…you've got Optical Flares, where you bought it.…And I'm going to go to Products and I'm going to scroll down.…And here we have a list of video…co-pilot products laid out in kind of a grid.…And we see here that Pro Presets two as well as a Pro…Flares Bundle where you can get Pro Flares plus Optical Flares are listed here.…And so, this is where you can get the packs of presets.…It's an extra purchase.…
It's actually way cheaper, if you haven't purchased Optical Flares yet, it's…
