DESIGN

Everything you make, and everything you made it from, in one place.

Projects is where your work lives: Courses grouped by subject, ByteSize Learning shorts, the Storyboards and Studio edits you are in the middle of, every Video, Product videos, Cutaway captures and the Sources you started from — each source linked to what was made from it, and back. Every course gets an art-directed cover with its name on it. The Dashboard picks up where you left off, with your running scripts, storyboards, edits and videos one click away.

What it does

The detail that makes it work.

Eight tabs

Courses (grouped by subject), ByteSize Learning, Storyboard, Editor, Videos, Product, Cutaway and Sources — with search, filters and a New menu for whatever you make next.

Sources linked both ways

Open a document, link, video, repository or ticket and see every course and short made from it.

Covers that look designed

Each course gets an AI-designed cover with its title on it; ask for a new one and the look changes.

Continue where you left off

The Dashboard lists scripts still generating, storyboards, Studio edits and finished videos — with search, filters and sorting on the Videos tab. The same Storyboard and Editor lists sit on the Projects page, so unfinished work is one click away from either.

Save a source as a draft

Extract a document or a link, save it as a draft and come back later; nothing is made until you go on.
