Start in Templates and avoid blank-canvas work

The Templates page is the fastest way to get a usable motion structure on screen.

The library is built for browsing by category, scanning visual previews, and opening a template that already contains the pacing and composition you need. If a template is directionally correct, do not throw that away just to begin from zero.

The page also supports search and prompt-led exploration. Use those to narrow the library before you open a template. Once you land in the editor, treat the template as a draft to refine rather than a fixed result you must keep unchanged.

Steps

1. Filter first: Use category chips and search to cut the library down before opening anything. This is faster than opening many unrelated templates one by one.
2. Open the closest motion pattern: Pick the card whose pacing, composition, or scene structure is already closest to your target outcome.
3. Treat the first open as evaluation: Use the initial editor open to decide whether the template is the right base. If it is, duplicate it into the workspace and continue from there.
4. Stay near the existing structure: Replace copy, media, colors, and timing in layers. Do not rebuild a perfectly good template unless the structure itself is wrong.

Checklist

• A strong template removes guesswork from timing and composition.
• Search helps when you know the use case but not the category.
• Preview mode is useful for evaluation; editable work belongs in a duplicated project.

Why duplication matters Template previews are meant to help you inspect the base motion. Duplicate the template when you are ready to create an editable source file inside your own workspace.
