New Transfer Method for External Post
We’re excited to share a new transfer method now available for vendors using FTP and Box.com connection types.
This new transfer method relies on file name and location instead of metadata, simplifying the process of returning files and troubleshooting mistakes.
Key Benefits:
Fewer missing files: Files are returned based on the file name, location, and in some cases, file extension. This aligns more closely with the conventions used in studio and vendor workflows.
Increased transparency: A new file will be sent to your vendor which outlines all files expected for return, and preset specifications may also be communicated to your vendor such as DPI, Color Space, and more.
No more unexpected files: With this new transfer method, we will only accept back the number of files specified by your style guides and presets.
In the future we will take steps to transition current metadata-based vendors using FTP and Box.com over to the new filename-based transfer method.
Film Strip Layout in Editorial
Editorial users now have more flexibility in how they view images in the selection process! The new layout features a ‘film strip’ of images along the bottom of the screen for users to scroll through, and shows selected images in the primary viewing area.
Increased Shot Count Range for Ghost Mannequin
We’ve expanded the shot count range for Ghost Mannequin position types. Users can now select a shot count range of 2 to 99, allowing for greater flexibility in image uploads.
Automation Updates to the AI Copywriter
We’ve added two new settings for AI Automation in the Copywriter style guide: Instructions and Properties. These let users provide more details about the copy they want from the AI Copywriter so that it produces higher quality content.
Stay tuned for more exciting AI Copywriter updates!
