Styles

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.

The Style Board

Click Style in a video project’s toolbar, or choose File › Style Board… (⌥ ⌘ S). 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… (⌥ ⌘ N), 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 (⌘ Return), 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 A–D, add a note if you like, and Send Pick (⌘ Return).
  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 (Esc) asks whether to keep or discard the draft. Resume continues a stopped draft where it left off.
