Preparing Template Project for Onboarding

Indivio enables you to create your own high-quality, on-brand template with industry-standard Adobe After Effects.

There are 4 steps needed to prepare a project for onboarding:

1. Reducing Project

2. Collecting files in After Effects

3. Save the collected .aep project

4. Zip collected files

To ensure successful onboarding, please also review the Template Checklist.

1. Reducing your Project

1. To reduce project, drag your MAIN_COMP into a new composition. Then with your new composition open, go to File > Dependencies > Reduce Project.

   

2. Collecting files in After Effects

Collecting files ensures that all dependencies such as linked images and video footages are pulled together into a transferrable folder together with the project design file (.aep).

1. Navigate to File > Dependencies > Collect Files...
2. Leave the settings and click Collect…
3. Specify the destination folder where you want After Effects to save.

3. Save .aep project

Please save your project in the same folder as your collected files.

1. Navigate to File > Save
2. Save the file into the same subfolder where the project files are collected

4. Zip collected files

Zipping the files makes it easier to upload your project.

1. Open the directory
2. On a Mac, select all the files in the folder (should be aep files and a footages directory) right-click and select “Compress files” and give the archive zip file a name. On a Windows machine, select the files and right-click “Send to” and then select “Compressed (zipped) folder”.
3. This is the project zip file that will be onboarded to create a new Template See Template Onboarding (Preparing for Onboard).
