Clueprints

Clueprints are reusable video templates that capture everything about how a video should look and feel. Instead of setting up layouts, colours, fonts, animations, and voiceover style from scratch every time, you save all of that into a Clueprint and apply it to any new video in one click.

​

What’s inside a Clueprint

A Clueprint stores a complete set of style rules that Clueso Agent follows when building your video:

• Layouts for different clip types (intro, feature walkthrough, comparison, outro, and more)
• Design rules covering colours, typography, backgrounds, animations, captions, image handling, and effects
• Voiceover guidance for tone, pacing, and script style
• Music preferences
• General instructions that describe the overall approach

When you create a video using a Clueprint, Clueso Agent reads all of these rules and applies them automatically. You get a consistent, polished result without having to describe your style every time.

​

Browsing Clueprints

Open Clueprints from the left sidebar. You will see three tabs:

• Personal shows Clueprints you have created yourself
• Workspace shows Clueprints shared across your team
• Community shows Clueprints published by Clueso and other creators

Click on any Clueprint card to open a detail view with a video preview and clip thumbnails.

Creating a video from a Clueprint

​

Creating your own Clueprint

Click the + New clueprint button in the top right corner. You will see three options:

• From scratch starts with a blank Clueprint. You define every rule yourself.
• From a project creates a Clueprint based on an existing video project. Clueso extracts the style rules from that project so you can reuse them.
• Import clueprint lets you import a Clueprint file that someone has shared with you.

​

From a project

This is the fastest way to create a Clueprint. If you already have a video that looks the way you want, Clueso analyses it and extracts the design rules, layouts, and structure into a new Clueprint. You can then fine-tune the rules in the editor.

​

From scratch

This gives you a blank Clueprint with the full file tree. You write or edit each rule file directly:

• instructions.md for general guidance
• layouts/ for clip layout definitions
• design/ for colours, typography, backgrounds, animations, captions, images, music, and effects
• script/voiceover-guidance.md for voiceover tone and pacing

​

Editing a Clueprint

Open a Clueprint and click Edit this Clueprint. You will see the full file tree on the left and a rendered preview on the right. Click any file to edit its rules directly. Changes are saved automatically.

​

Sharing a Clueprint

When you create a Clueprint, it starts as Personal (visible only to you). You can change its visibility:

• Personal is private to your account
• Workspace makes it available to everyone in your team
• Community publishes it for all Clueso users

​

When to use a Clueprint

• Brand consistency when your team produces videos that should all follow the same visual identity
• Repeatable formats like weekly product updates, customer tutorials, or onboarding walkthroughs
• Faster creation when you want to skip the design phase and go straight to writing content
• Onboarding new teammates so they can produce on-brand videos without learning every design decision
