Templates and outputs
Wire content into a Template node and define what ships with Outputs.
The Template and Output nodes are where a flow becomes concrete: the template says what gets rendered, outputs say what ships and where.
The Template node
- Add a Template node and click Pick a template.
- The Select a template dialog opens: search by name or tag, hover a tile to preview it, and click to choose.
- The node fills with the template's fields, grouped by comp. For each field:
- Type a value straight into the field, or
- Pipe one in from a content node. Piped fields show the incoming value and ignore the manual one.
- Footage slots accept pipes from Image, Video and Audio nodes of the matching kind.
When a connected clip is longer than its slot, the slot shows a trim scrubber: drag the window to choose exactly which section of the clip is used.
From comps to Outputs
Each template comp is an output handle on the Template node. Pipe every comp you want to ship into its own Output node; comps you leave unconnected simply don't build.
The Output node
An Output describes the finished creative:
- Platform and Placement: where this creative is destined. The placement defines which copy fields exist and which are required.
- Copy fields: type them, or pipe Text (or AI) rows in; pipes win over typed values.
- Tag fields: pipe a Tags node in for hashtags and the like.
- UTM fields: source, medium, campaign and content for tracked links.
- File naming: leave Auto-name on for consistent names, or switch it off and set your own.
- Render settings: the render preset used for this output (video presets for video comps, static presets for stills).
Preview before you build
Pipe an Output into a Preview node to see the exact table of creatives a build would produce: every market, language, version and asset combination, before anything renders. It is the quickest way to sanity-check your gating.
Delivering automatically
On Business+, pipe an Output into a Meta Ads or Google Ads node to upload approved renders straight to the platform as paused ads. See Connecting Meta Ads and Connecting Google Ads.
