Introduction To The Creatives Tab
This article presents the basic principles of the Creatives tab, which is a great place to start if you’re new to the TrouDigital studio.
The Creatives tab is where you create, store and edit individual pieces of content (we call an individual piece of content a Creative).
There are three notable functions within the Creatives tab.
To create content, click on the ‘Create from Template’ button on the top-left of the Creatives tab. Once this has opened, click on the frame that says ‘Start Fresh with Blank Page’.
This will open the TrouDigital Studio. For a guide on creating content in the studio, click here.
Once your content is created, click ‘Save’ in the top-right corner. This will store it as a Creative.
The Creatives tab enables you to import content directly from your storage drive.
Firstly, open the ‘Media Center’ (to the right of ‘Create from Template’). Click ‘Upload Media’ and select the drive you would like to import from.
Once you have uploaded the content, select it and click ‘Add to Creatives’, where it will subsequently appear in the Creatives tab.
It won’t take long to populate your Creatives tab. Categorising your content is a great way to ensure relevant content is grouped together and can be easily found.
Using folders is the best way to organise your Creatives. To do this, simply click ‘New Folder’, name your folder accordingly and drag-and-drop in all the relevant content.
You can also use the filtering system. If you’re after a particular Creative, use the search bar in the top-right corner. Underneath the search bar, you’ll find some more general filters, such as filtering by format (e.g. movie, image) or by date created.
The rest of the Content Creation section will tell you everything you need to create content in the TrouDigital Studio.
