# Delivery & handoff

> Provide fonts, wire up asset access, package the project, and hand it off.

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.

> [!WARNING]
>
> 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:

| Check | Requirement |
| - | - |
| Layers | Every dynamic asset is on its own separate layer. |
| Essential Graphics | Every dynamic asset is exposed, scoped to its own composition. |
| Prices | Prices are live text layers on top of their backing design. |
| Space | Layouts hold the longest possible value for each dynamic asset. |
| Presets | Continuum animation presets are applied to every dynamic asset. |
| Fonts | All font files (`.otf` / `.ttf`) are included. |
| Asset access | API access is provided if you're a large domain. |
| Package | The project is exported via **File → Dependencies → Collect Files**. |

## 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."
