Creative Studio Projects
Creators can access the Studio panel within the plugin to streamline their creative development process. Directly within Adobe After Effects, review the brief and assets of the project as well as adhere to the comprehensive studio criteria essential for your projects.
This integration allows you to consult Creative Sets/Outputs and generate outputs, which can be saved for future reference and shared with project managers. The criteria are dynamically updated within the plugin, ensuring that you always have access to the latest project requirements and guidelines, facilitating a more efficient and accurate creative process.

Step 2 - Creating Drafts

Uploading Drafts:
Easily upload drafts directly to the project dashboard.
Once you upload your draft through the plugin, it is seamlessly sent to your creative team in Creative Studio for review.
Manage different versions of drafts, each with distinct statuses such as 'Internal Review', 'Client Review', 'Rejected', and 'Accepted'.
Utilize Scoring Criteria:
You can score assets based on channel criteria while working within the plugin, enhancing efficiency and adherence to creative expectations.
You will be able to review each draft and their score in the "Draft" overview tab
Once a draft is uploaded, a scoring analysis is automatically generated to evaluate the draft against predefined criteria. The results of this analysis are then added as a new entry under the "My Scoring Results/Projects" tab. To view this entry, simply scroll down and navigate to the right within the tab. This feature ensures that every submission is assessed consistently and provides valuable feedback for further refinements.
Handling Feedback:
View and respond to comments directly within the plugin.
See all drafts along with their current status to effectively manage revisions.
Your drafts will be viewable by the client within their project. Once you submit a draft using the plugin, the client will see the criteria against which your draft has been scored.
Chat with your team:
You can access the live chat directly from your project within the plugin, enabling seamless communication with stakeholders without leaving your workspace. Simply navigate to the "Chat" tab in your project to view participants, send messages, share attachments, and even preview or download files. This allows for real-time collaboration, streamlining your creative process by keeping everything within the plugin environment.
