Five clients, five brands, no mix-ups.

Keep a brand file for each client. Import the one you are working on, and every older project keeps the look it was made with.

Five clients, five style guides, one tired team.

Every client has their own logo, colours and font, and one mix-up in a delivered video is embarrassing. Shotbox keeps each client’s brand in its own file and each project locked to the brand it was made with.

What you'll make

Client brand files

Logo, colours and font in one .shotboxbrand file.

Consistent titles

Brand lower thirds, openers and end cards.

Watermarked exports

The client’s logo on every frame.

Brand everything, automatically

With a client’s kit loaded, their colours lead the backdrops, their titles fill the library and their caption style leads the list.

The preview and the export use the same renderer, so what the client approved is what they get.

TRANSCRIPT

Hi, I'm going to show you how the new dashboard actually, let me start again. The new dashboard turns a week of reports into one screen.

Let's start at the top, with the revenue chart.

Brand captions use the client’s font and lighter colour, or a panel in their primary colour when both are dark.

  • Readable on any palette
  • Same proportions on every canvas
  • Drag to place

Tips

Tips for better results.

  1. Name kits clearly

    Name each file after the client, such as Northwind.shotboxbrand, and keep them in a shared folder.

  2. Check before you start

    Open the Brand Kit window before starting a new project to confirm which client is loaded.

  3. Update a logo on old work

    Switch the project’s watermark off and on to pick up the client’s new logo.

  4. Untouched kit, no brand items

    An empty kit adds nothing, so brand items in made-up colours never appear by accident.

How it works

Three steps, one app.

Everything runs on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded on the way.

  1. 1

    Make a kit per client

    Export each one as a single file.

    Brand kit →
  2. 2

    Switch in one step

    Import the client you are working on.

    Brand kit →
  3. 3

    Old work stays put

    Projects keep the brand they were made with.

An example

Switching between clients

  1. Morning

    Import Northwind’s kit and finish their onboarding videos.

  2. Afternoon

    Import Lumen’s kit and start their launch video.

  3. Next week

    Northwind asks for a change. Their project still has their brand, untouched.

  4. Delivery

    Every file carries the right logo.

Questions
Can we have several kits loaded at once?

One kit is active at a time. Switching is one import, and finished projects keep their own brand.

Can the team share kits?

Yes. Send the .shotboxbrand file; everyone imports the same one.

Is client work included?

Yes, in every subscription.
