No. Studio opens at Essentials: start from a template in your industry, change the words and photos, and press Auto on a photo. Designers switch to Pro in their own preferences, which shows every control and the Vector and Animate workspaces on the same file.
They open with a Create seat. Without one they show in the switcher marked Upgrade. A design that already holds vector paths or keyframes still opens, saves and plays for everyone, and the In, Loop and Out animations are on every design.
Yes, at the same time. Each person sees who else is in the design, and two people on different pages never overwrite each other. Share a design as Can view, Can comment or Can edit, pin comments where a change goes, and send it for approval to a teammate or, as a link, to a client with no account. Whiteboards take one person at a time.
Yes. A Photoshop file opens with its layers and editable text, and an SVG as editable vector. Photos, including HEIC, come in from your device or your Media Library. Another design tool’s own project file is not read.
PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF, at web or print resolution, a print PDF with bleed, crop marks and registration marks, and a CMYK PDF for the press, made on your device. A design that moves exports as a GIF or an animated WebP, and as an MP4 through Create Video in Clips. Every page can leave as one PDF or a ZIP.
The brand kit, its colors, typefaces and logo, is read from your website or set by hand in Studio’s Settings, and offered in every color and typeface picker. On an Engage account, people without a Studio seat build with the brand kit only: its typefaces, its colors and its Theme, and nothing else.
Up to 200, one per row of a CSV or pasted rows, each filling the design’s text placeholders. Each lands in your Library as its own design, and the whole run downloads as one ZIP of PNGs.
A design becomes a video with Create Video, which opens it in Clips, every page a clip with its motion, then adds titles, music and captions and makes an MP4. Long and short video editing is Video’s and Clips’.
In Depot, with the business’s other files, in the Hubs you put them in. A design in Trash stays for 30 days, then it is deleted with everything it holds.
No. Generate makes an image or drafts copy, Assist reviews the layout and a photo, and a photo can be erased, extended past its edges or cut out of its background, which happens on your own device. Every template, size and export works without them.
