VideoHive and Rerendered Merge! Plus an Interview with Justin McClure
Nov 3rd in News by Collis Ta'eedOver the last year we’ve been getting really serious about Adobe After Effects here at Envato. Since our double launch late last year of VideoHive and Aetuts+, the two sites have been growing really quickly! Aetuts+ has grown into a stellar library of After Effects tutorials bringing a half million visitors a month, and VideoHive has rapidly grown into THE place to get After Effects project files with popular items selling as much as $12,000 worth and traffic exceeding 1.5 million pageviews a month!
Today I’m extremely happy to announce that we’re joining forces with another industry powerhouse: Rerendered.com and visionary After Effects producer Justin McClure. We have combined our inventory, providing you quick access to content from two of the leading sites in the AE Project Files game!

What’s The Difference?
Oct 19th in Articles by Adam Everett MillerOne thing that has confused/bothered me since the day I started video production was that different people use different words (whether correct or not) to describe what seemed to be the same thing. Are you rendering the video or are you exporting it? Are you capturing or digitizing? Is it a Montage or is it a Vignette? or is it a Vignette?… or is it a Vignette? Most of the time we just repeat what we’ve heard. Well, After Effects lingo was no exception, so I figured I’d pass on what I’ve found while looking for the correct meanings for myself.
ActiveDen and Activetuts – New Names, Same Awesome Content
Oct 19th in News by Collis Ta'eedFor just over three fantastic years FlashDen has been the jewel in Envato’s crown. It is our longest running and most active community, and thanks to the amazing authors who showcase their work there, has become the largest marketplace for Adobe Flash files in the world with over 8,500 items for sale.
Last week Adobe asked us to change our name and URL so that it would no longer contain the term ‘Flash’, which is a registered trademark of Adobe. We know that the success of our sites is about the community and content, not the names. So here at Envato HQ we’ve been busy thinking up new names and we think we’ve found a great new home for both our marketplace and our Tuts+ blog on Flash.
As of today the two sites now live at ActiveDen and Activetuts+.
