# Forge

> Fill your design templates, including After Effects projects, with your messages, products, and offers to render many on-brand versions into your Library.

**Forge** fills your design templates — ready-made layouts, such as a promo video or a story card — to make many on-brand versions in one go. Fill a template's fields with your messages, products, and offers, preview every version, and render the set into your Library.

> [!NOTE]
>
> In the sidebar, Forge sits under **Creative+**. Using it needs the brand's **Performance+** plan, set under **Settings → Billing**. See [Billing](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/settings/billing.md).

## The three tabs

| Tab | What it's for |
| - | - |
| **Templates** | Your templates. Filter by **All**, **Ready**, **Drafts**, **Needs attention**, or **Shared with you**, and by animated or static. |
| **Render** | Fill a template's fields row by row, preview each version, and render. |
| **Render ledger** | Everything you've rendered. |

## Get a template set up

Templates are built from your team's design files. For an After Effects project, follow [After Effects delivery](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/forge/after-effects/overview.md) to structure it so every field you want to change is exposed cleanly, then hand it to your Continuum contact.

## Render versions

**1. Pick a template**

Open a template that's **Ready**, then go to **Render**.

**2. Fill the rows**

Each row is one version. Type the values in, or choose **Draft rows with AI** to write them from a brief.

**3. Preview**

Each row shows a live composed preview, so you see every version before anything is rendered.

**4. Render**

Final renders land in your Library under **Forge renders**.

## Render sets

Save a group of rows as a **render set** to come back to it. You can rename, duplicate, download, and share a set, see its version history, and update it to the template's current version.

## Try it

In the app, open a **Ready** template, go to **Render**, choose **Draft rows with AI**, and give it a brief such as "Six versions of our spring offer: three for price, three for free shipping."

Or ask Claude or ChatGPT:

* "Which templates do we have?"
* "Write six versions of the promo template from this brief."
* "Produce the whole set. Show me what will be made first."

From your assistant, you see a preview of every version, and nothing is made until you confirm. Filling a template needs the **Operator** role or higher, and final versions, rather than draft previews, need an **Admin** or **Owner**. See [Produce templates at scale](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/mcp/use-cases/templates.md).

For agent and application integration, use the [Forge agent quickstart](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/forge/agents.md),
[function reference](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/forge/functions.md), and [source-format map](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/forge/design-systems.md).
They separate file intake from editing and rendering, and explain how to retain template,
revision, set and job identities between calls.

## What's next

* [After Effects delivery](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/forge/after-effects/overview.md): Structure a project so Forge can render it.
* [Library](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/library.md): Where renders land.
