//DUPLICATE MODULE - INCREASE 15 SECONDS EACH TIME
To get a extended version, placing more photos, you have to:
- increase timeline: Go to main comp>top menu>composition>composition settings:increase the comp duration.
Duplicate a module(#1 or #2). In this new comp, do all the adjustments as explained before. I mean duplicate and replace the photos, and customize texts, creating new ones...#13,#14#15 and so on.
Drop this new duplicate module on the main comp. Place it after de module 2. drag Xports end to the end of timeline, placing it logically.
Duplicate a flash effect.mov and place wrigth over the composition encounter.
Mind the work area (in/out) when rendering.


// COLOR CORRECTION

Color correction is set at Layer number 2  and 3 of "Extreme_Sports_Main" choose the one you like or
you can simply disable the layer colorizer.
If you are a little bit curious, you can try to edit and change color, saturation, luminance by
selecting the layer and pressing F3 to open the effects palette.



// FLASH EFFECT

Keep the flash effect movies on the main comp because they are used like a "cut" scene, from one comp to another.


// RENDER
