> Make a visual Style for your graphics by picking from options your agent shows over your own footage, then use it in every project.

A Style is the look your graphics follow: type, palette, texture, how things move, and rules such as “never cover the face”. Your agent designs every graphic in a project to match the project’s Style, while still making whatever the video needs. Styles are saved in `~/Documents/Sashimii/Styles` and are there for every project.

## Choose a Style for a Project

At setup, the **Style** pop-up on the New Project screen lists your saved Styles and drafts, with your last choice first. **No Style** is fine when you don’t want graphics. Setup remembers your choice. See [Setting Up a Project](https://sashimii.app/docs/projects/).

## The Style Board

Click **Style** in a video project’s toolbar, or choose **File › Style Board…** (<kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>S</kbd>). It shows the project’s Style: its sample reel, type, palette, texture, feel and rules. Its footer holds every Style action: **Edit This Style…**, **Start a New Style on This Video…** and **Continue Draft**.

## Make a New Style

Choose **File › Start a New Style on This Video…** (<kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>N</kbd>), or use the button on the Style board, and name it. The Style studio opens on a new Style that uses this project’s video for its examples. No existing Style is changed.

1. **Write a brief**: your words, files, links and hard rules. Press **Start** (<kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>Return</kbd>), then tell your agent `check Sashimii`. **Copy Prompt** is there too. The studio moves on by itself when your agent connects.
2. **Pick the kinds of graphics you’d like**, if any, while your agent works: lower thirds, chapter titles, captions, charts and so on. Picks guide your agent; they never limit it.
3. **Pick one of four Styles**, each shown playing over your own video. Click one or press <kbd>A</kbd>–<kbd>D</kbd>, add a note if you like, and **Send Pick** (<kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>Return</kbd>).
4. **Answer your agent’s questions** and **Send Answers**. While it works, the studio shows its latest line and the time so far.
5. **Approve the sample reel**: a short reel of the Style on your footage. **Use this Style** saves it. Type what should change instead, and the button becomes **Send to Agent**, for another take.

**Close** (<kbd>Esc</kbd>) asks whether to keep or discard the draft. **Resume** continues a stopped draft where it left off.
