Project templates: start from a finished genvi project

Project templates are here. A project template is a finished genvi project that an approved publisher has shared. Copy it into your account with one click, open it, and see how it was made. It is the quickest way to learn, because you start with something that already works instead of an empty canvas.

Templates are on your dashboard. Choose a project type (Node Studio, Image Editor, Video Composer or Whiteboard). If it has templates, a Get Started with Templates row appears above your own projects, with a count. Featured templates are marked.

The copy is yours. Change it, break it, delete it. The original stays as it was, and nobody else sees your edits. To learn how something was made, click through its parts and rebuild the bits you care about.

The dashboard now loads the templates for every project type when it opens. When you switch between Node Studio, Image Editor, Video Composer and Whiteboard, the templates show up straight away. Templates also have their own icon and a divider, so the template row and your own projects read as two separate lists.

Not everyone. Publishing is a role that an admin gives out. A new Publishers tab in the admin panel lists everyone who has it, and an admin can take it away. A publisher builds a project, then publishes it with a name, a category, tags and a picture. They can update a template later without losing the old versions, and can unpublish or archive it.

Publishers can also upload files that everyone is allowed to see, so a template's images and clips still load in your copy.

Using a template is free, and so is the copy. Copying one does not spend credits. Anything you generate inside your copy spends credits at the normal price for the model you choose.

A copy you import cannot be published by default, so it stays a private project of yours.
