I'm having issues with the install. Any ideas where that "User Presets" folder might be hiding?

@jobless Thanks, man. It really means a lot that you guys are liking it. And you haven't seen anything yet. It'll probably take me until the 10th or 12th tutorial to cover just how versatile it is, and then you'll understand what it is you have living inside After Effects now - a color grading monster.

Great work Shian!
I must say that I was sceptical at first, it seemed to me like a bunch of useless after effects presets. Actually I paid just to gain access to Shian's tutorials and to learn some new tips on Color Grading. But after 10 min playing with ColorGhear I realized how wrong I was!
ColorGHear is an excellent tool and I'm surprised how versatile it is .
Keep up the good work!

Just saw the video embed. It's a vimeo, so you have to wait for it to load before you can skip around to find out exactly what it does/is. Or I may have missed that explanation on the site.

Would it be beneficial to have a text page with screenshots of the plugins controls etc to show what it does without having to load a 15 or 60 minute video? For those who can't spend the time hunting through the footage.

I'm hunting for sceenschots of exactly what it does, any help there? Checked the website, didn't see any.

@chauncy Um, not entirely. A Premium Member ship is $50, but if you buy the plug-in for $25 (limited time only - ends Feb 15th then it will go up to its full retail price of $50) you get your membership included for free.

So put simply, buy the plug-in and get a free membership. It's a funky way of doing things, I know, but it's the only way I could get the member server and store to work together without some really odd errors.

@oedipax Good to hear. Looks like I finally got everything debugged.

Gonna go to bed, if there are anymore problems with the site or the downloads, OR if you run into any installation problems not covered in the latest documentation - msg me and I'll get it all sorted out when I wake up, and then I'll get to work finishing this PDF listing the GHears and their functions, and knocking out the next 2 tutorials.

Enjoy, and know that the tutorials coming over the next month will have some really cool stuff in them. The 4 that are up now are just the basics to get you started. But the next 2 deal with tracking, masks, and customization of your GHears. They are going to be followed by tutorials that cover working with entire scenes, how to break down your film into manageable chunks for grading, tech pass vs. style pass, in depth color theory, working with scopes, targeting grain, building your own GHears and film stocks, and then finally how using ColorGHear will prepare you for SpeedGrade because there are a LOT of similarities.

@AlexManta - Go to Tutorials and watch tutorial #2 - "Get to Know ColorGhear" - In it, I walk you through what each one does. But I will get to work on a PDF right now. Thanks for the input. And thank you for your patience while I get all this stuff ironed out.

I'll stay up for a few hours more to try and catch all your questions, but if I go dark for a few hours it's because I ran out of gas, and had to get some sleep. It's 2:40am here, and I've been up since Friday trying to get everything working.

@pc_bel I just updated the file and deleted the installation video, and instead uploaded the video to the site. Try downloading from the members only area. Download size decreased to 497.3k should eliminate time-outs.

@MarkV Thanks - they are streamed through vimeo, so they should work with their html 5 player.

BTW if anyone else is having problems downloading or installing, let me know so I can run it down for you.

@AlexManta So, very sorry, Alex. I verified your purchase and sent the file to the email on your receipt, let me know if there are any problems.

I'm really mad at my host, I've been up for 36 hours debugging the site, and thought I finally had it all worked out. Just so I can run down the problem, was the time-out from the emailed link, or from the members only download page? Or both?

@shian i just bought colorghear but i can t download it it stops at 6.1 meg and cancels itself...do you have a yousendit link???
