Assets
What an asset is — a single piece of creative within a project — and the types, media, files, previews, and transcription it carries.
An asset is a single piece of creative within a project — “the US trailer”, “the international teaser”, “the key art”. Each asset belongs to exactly one project.
Every asset has:
- A type (its asset type, such as a trailer or TV spot)
- A media type — one of
video,image,document, oraudio - Many files — the actual deliverable versions of the asset
- Previews — lightweight, web-playable renditions used for review inside the app
- A transcription — the original-version (OV) text plus links to the script, dialogue, and graphics subtitle files, which translation memories build on
Previews vs. files. A preview is a low-resolution version for viewing inside Pixwel. A file is the full-resolution deliverable that gets downloaded and distributed. Don’t confuse the two — reviewing a preview is not the same as having the delivered file.
