Setting Up Your First Project
Create a new project in Sovran and configure it for your brand.
What Is a Project?
A project is how you organize work in Sovran. Each project contains its own brief, research, assets, variations, finished videos, and publishing history. Most teams use one project for each brand or product.
Creating a Project
- Open Projects and select New project.
- Enter a project name (e.g., your brand name or product line).
- Select Create project to finish.
Your new project opens with an empty Assets workspace. Upload video clips or open a tool from the sidebar to start a workflow.
Project Structure
The sidebar groups project tools by task:
- Plan and research for Brief, Messaging, and Ad Spy.
- Prepare media for All Assets, Cut Clips, AI footage, and Voiceover.
- Build ads for Modular Builder, Creative Copilot, and Remixes. Modular Builder has a switch to arrange clips yourself or auto-arrange them. Remixes has a switch for ads with or without a voiceover.
- Review for Finished Videos and Ad Insights.
Groups start open. Select a group name to hide or show its tools. Some tools require an available integration or workspace access. Use Search to find creation actions, or open the required tool.
Inside a project, these tools use that project. Outside a project, select a tool or Search action, then choose a project. If there are no projects, select Create a project. The selected task opens after creation.
Read project status
The Projects page shows running renders, failed work, and open drafts. Use Needs attention, Rendering, or Open drafts to filter the list. A new project can show No renders in 14 days until it has recent render activity. Use Continue draft to return to the latest available draft.
Next Steps
Start by uploading video assets or set up Brief to support AI-generated scripts and voiceovers.
