Okay, so you've finished making your sleek content and you need to prepare your AE project files to finally send them over! There are a few steps necessary to deliver them to us in the best possible way and perfect your work with Vidsy 👌
STEP 1 : REDUCE YOUR PROJECT
Let’s make sure there are no unnecessary files in your project . To do this, select your the 'compositions' file which should contain the videos you've been working on (you can do this by holding down the cmd button and selecting them). Then head to File > Dependencies > Reduce Project. This will reduce your project down to only the assets used in all the comps within this file directory e.g your videos and precomps.
*** Pro tip *** When working on your videos you may end up with duplicates of assets you may have imported. You can consolidate and remove unused footage to to keep your project menu neat and tidy to maximise your efficiency! These options are found in the dropdown menu above the reduce project option. ⭐
STEP 2 : NAME YOUR AE FILE
To make sure we can tell which file is yours and we don't mix them up, this is an important step 💪 When naming your AE file you should aim to keep it within the formats of, your name, the project code and finally the brand you've worked on. For example, JohnSmith_[VJ998-4]_Vidsy.
STEP 3 : COMPRESS
If you have been working in our preset file structure, the next step should be really simple.
Save your project and close it.
Make sure all of your working files have been placed in the 'working files folder' (Obviously 🙈)
Add your name to the folder '2. YourName_[VJ242-4]' and zip it up 👇
