# Clueprints

> Reusable video templates that store your complete visual style, so every new video starts polished

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.

<Info>
  Clueprints are different from [Templates](/clips/templates/templates). Templates are individual intro and outro slides you insert into a video. Clueprints are full video templates that define the entire visual style, structure, and tone of a video from start to finish.

## 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Clueprints page">
    Click **Clueprints** in the left sidebar to browse available Clueprints.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a Clueprint">
    Browse the **Personal**, **Workspace**, or **Community** tabs and click on a Clueprint that fits what you are building.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create video">
    In the detail view, click **Create video**. This opens a new project with the Clueprint's style rules already loaded.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe your video">
    Type your prompt describing the video you want. Clueso Agent uses the Clueprint's rules to handle the layout, design, and structure automatically. You just focus on the content.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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
