  1. PostLab

Getting Started

Last updated 3 months ago

PostLab allows you to manage and version your projects, either by yourself or with your creative team, no matter where they are. With a focus on video workflows, it offers unique ways of working on your creative projects.

Setting Up

Teams

Whether you're a lone wolf or part of a bustling team, the cornerstone of creative projects in PostLab is the Team Bundle. PostLab doesn't require setting up a Team; each member with access to the folder containing the Team Bundle can seamlessly dive into project work within PostLab.

Upon launching PostLab for the initial time, you are presented with the choice to either access an existing Team Bundle or kickstart a fresh team.

When creating a Team Bundle, pick a name and choose a location. Depending on your organization, the Team Bundle can represent your company, team, project, etc. Its location can either be local storage, shared storage, or cloud storage. Choose a location on shared storage for local collaboration or cloud storage for remote collaboration. Note: working with cloud storage requires a Pro license.

It is possible to create and switch between multiple Team Bundles. This offers flexibility in how you want to organize.

Collections

Creative documents can be systematically organized into collections based on various criteria such as clients, projects, seasons, categories, etc. Create a new collection by selecting File > New Collection, or hitting cmd+N. Give your collection a name and start adding documents.

Documents

Documents can be added to a collection in three ways. Either by importing existing documents from your computer, linking to an existing document already in use in another collection, or, in the case of Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro, by creating them from within PostLab. Select a collection and click on the Add Document button in the details section at the top.

When you have successfully created or imported documents, you are ready to start working on your project. Double-click the document, or select it and click the Open Document or Open Library button in the details section at the top.

Saving your work

After the work in your NLE or other creative app is done, save your work in PostLab. Saving changes in PostLab creates a new version in the history, ensuring everyone can see the changes you've made. Add a message that describes your changes in the comment field above the Activity Feed, and press the Save Changes button to create a new version.

Granting macOS Permission for PostLab

To automate document closing, PostLab requires macOS permission. This is a one-time consent allowing PostLab to close documents seamlessly. When prompted, grant permission. If an app doesn’t support auto-closing, PostLab will close it, prompting you to save manually. Simply save your work, and PostLab will update the Team Bundle.

When saving work to a cloud-based Team Bundle, allow time for the upload to complete before closing or shutting down your device. Ensure changes are fully synced for others to access.

Discarding your work

If you need to undo changes to an opened document, you can discard them in PostLab. Click the Discard button below the 'Save Your Work' comment field. A prompt will ask for confirmation, warning that all changes will be lost. Click Discard again to proceed. This action will close the document without saving, and the Activity Feed will note the discarded work, keeping the previous version as current.
