Once your project is built to spec, deliver it so Continuum has everything needed to render — fonts, asset access, and a complete package.

Provide your fonts

Include the actual font files your design uses — .otf or .ttf. Continuum needs the files themselves so text renders exactly as you designed it; a font name alone is not enough. Every typeface used by any text layer must be provided. Missing fonts cause substituted type and broken layouts at render time.

Asset access

If you’re a large domain with a big catalog — many products, prices, or images — provide API access so Continuum can gather assets and values programmatically. This scales far better than delivering assets one by one, and keeps renders in sync as your catalog changes. For a small, fixed set of assets, delivering the files directly in your package is fine.

Package the project

Export your project through File → Dependencies → Collect Files in After Effects. This bundles the project file, every piece of footage it depends on, and your fonts into a single self-contained folder.
Delivery is not complete without a Collect Files package. A bare .aep leaves out the footage and fonts it depends on, and the project cannot be integrated.
Hand off the resulting folder to your Continuum contact.

Pre-delivery checklist

Run through this before you send:

Try it

  1. In After Effects, choose File → Dependencies → Collect Files, and choose to collect all files.
  2. Name the folder after the project, such as SpringPromo_9x16_handoff, and open it. Check that every font your text layers use is there, such as BrandSans-Bold.otf. Add any font file that’s missing.
  3. Run through the checklist above, then send the folder to your Continuum contact.
Once the template is published, ask your assistant:
  • “Which Forge templates are published and ready to render?”
  • “Make a render set from the spring promo template with these three headlines.”
  • “Preview the render for that set, and show me where each version will go before anything is queued.”
