Portfolio

What is Portfolio

The Portfolio application is your central hub for gathering, curating, and presenting your creative projects in a clean, shareable showcase. Designed for directors, musicians, photographers, agencies, and brands, Portfolio lets you display your complete body of work on dedicated public portfolio pages and integrated profile tabs.

In Portfolio, each project entry is called a Work. A work represents a creative endeavor—such as a film, campaign, album, or photoshoot—and can contain multiple individual media items (called Assets). Portfolio supports three core media types: Video, Audio, and Image.

Getting started

To open Portfolio and begin managing your showcase:

1. Locate and click Portfolio in the main navigation menu.
2. The main workspace grid opens, displaying your existing portfolio entries. From here, you can view, search, and manage your projects.
3. To start a new project entry, click the button to add a new work.
4. Select the core media type (Video, Audio, or Image) and enter your project title.

Key capabilities

• Portfolio Display & Public Showcase: Showcase your projects using an interactive, card-based gallery layout and dedicated detail views. Visual layouts for cards and detail pages are optimized for readability and high metadata visibility. Visitors can browse project descriptions, release dates, project subtypes, crew and brand credits, and interactive platform links complete with dedicated brand iconography.
• Work Management & Content Editing: Easily create, edit, and organize portfolio entries. The streamlined editor lets you enter formatted descriptions, set release dates, assign project subtypes (such as Commercial, Music Video, Documentary, Short Film, or Series Pilot), and manage external links. It includes a specialized search picker (Entity Picker) to quickly establish direct associations with other people and brand entities across the platform.
• Multi-Asset Project Management: Store multiple media items under a single work—such as multi-episode video series, multi-track audio albums, or multi-photo galleries. Each asset within a work supports its own thumbnail cover, sequence label (e.g., "Trailer", "Director's Cut", or "Behind the Scenes"), and aspect ratio configuration (such as 16:9 hero, 9:16 vertical, or 1:1 square).
• Direct Asset Importing: Save time and avoid file duplication by referencing media directly from other platform areas. You can import project versions from Creator Studio or collections from your Media Gallery. You can also paste YouTube or Vimeo video URLs to automatically fetch titles and thumbnail covers.
• Aggregator & Social Links: Display clean external link buttons beneath your work to route your audience to major platforms. Portfolio supports dedicated iconography for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Bandlink, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, personal websites, and custom links.
• Precise Crew and Brand Credits: Attribute team members and organizations to your projects using the specialized search picker. Assign roles such as artist, label, producer, sponsor, partner, distributor, client, or custom crew roles. Credits can apply to the entire work or be targeted directly to a single asset within a multi-asset project (e.g., crediting a producer for a specific audio track).
• Smart Dynamic Filtering: Public visitors can search your showcase by media type, brand, credited person, release year, or profession. The filter dropdowns dynamically update to show only metadata associated with published works, preventing empty menu selections.
• Curated Editor's Picks: Highlight and order up to 8 of your top projects at the top of your portfolio showcase or profile page.

How to use it

Step 1: Create a work

1. Click the button to add a new work.
2. Select your core media type (Video, Audio, or Image).
3. Enter the project title. You can also specify a project subtype, release date, description, and cover image.

Step 2: Add and arrange media assets

Populate your work with media assets using any of these methods:

• Import internal platform assets: Choose the option to import from Creator Studio or your Media Gallery to reference media directly without re-uploading files.
• Import from external video links: Paste a valid YouTube or Vimeo URL. The system automatically populates the asset title and cover thumbnail.
• Configure individual assets: Set thumbnail covers, sequence labels, and aspect ratio chips for each item.
• Set the primary cover: Toggle the Primary switch on your chosen asset. This asset will serve as the main cover image on your portfolio card grid.

Step 3: Add external platform links

1. Under the work's external link section, click to add a link.
2. Select the platform type (such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok).
3. Paste the URL and enter an optional label. Save your changes to display the branded button on your work's detail view.

Step 4: Add crew and brand credits

1. In the credits section, open the specialized search picker to find a person or brand.
2. Select the appropriate role or enter a custom role label.
3. (Optional) If your work contains multiple assets, select a specific asset to limit the credit to that single item. Leave it blank to apply the credit to the entire work.

Step 5: Publish your work

New works are created as private drafts by default.

1. When your project is ready for public viewing, toggle its visibility setting to Public.
2. Public works immediately appear on public portfolio pages, showcase grids, and credited profile tabs.

Step 6: Curate Editor's Picks

1. Access the Editor's Picks curation tool from your showcase or profile settings.
2. Choose up to 8 published projects and arrange them in your preferred display order.
3. Save your selection to update the featured showcase section at the top of your profile.

Tips & notes

• Editor's Picks limit: You can feature a maximum of 8 Editor's Picks per profile. Saving a new selection completely replaces the previous featured list and order.
• Primary cover rule: A work can have only one primary cover asset at a time. Assigning a new asset as the primary cover automatically demotes the previous primary cover.
• Private work visibility: Setting a work to private (draft) hides it from public showcase grids, search results, and dynamic filter dropdowns. However, anyone with the direct web URL to a private work's detail page can still access and view it.
• Filter menu updates: Public search and filter dropdowns (years, brands, professions) update automatically roughly every 10 minutes after a new work is published.
• Supported file types: Portfolio strictly supports Video, Audio, and Image core media types. Unsupported formats, such as animated GIFs, cannot be used.
