Elements

By elements is ment compositions / sequences (for templates in After Effects, Premiere Pro and etc...), or objects not related with templates (audio files, presets, etc.) as specific instances.

Elements features:

1. Elemnts have always locate inside the bucket preview, no other place.
2. There are some specific settings for elements (by analogy with settiongs for group of elements), but particular ones are just for one element, not the group. The details are here: element settings.
3. Separate each new element by a comma (similar to groups, templates).

Simple element example

"Instagram Stories": {
    "preview": {
        "GS_1": {"enabled": true, "name": "Scene 1", "options": false, "custom_args": {}}
    }
}

The code means: we have a template with title Instagram Stories (fits to any app, for example .AEP / .PRPROJ), inside the template we have composition / sequence with title Scene 1 (the title has to be similar to one in the template file, if there are no other group settins used).

Let's consider a particular element in the bucket preview absolutely and irrespectively.

Particular element inside the bucket

"GS_1": {
    "enabled": true, 
    "name": "Scene 1", 
    "options": false,
    "custom_args": {}
}

You can write this code in one line, but for perception convenience let's rubricate it.

The first part, meaning key value of the element is GS_1, there are othe parameters inside.

Features of a key value:

1. A key value of an element is used inside the system (to favorite an element, or other operations aimed to separate and distinguish the elements) and represents a kind of an identifier for each element - has to be unique.

2. The key value has to of figures and lating letters only, no symbols or whitespaces (underscore _ allowed), a short title of the element or other unique value for the package.

   tip

   For example, your element has a title Stomp Typography 1, then it's efficiently to shorten the original as much as possible and add a key value as STMT_1, and so on (STMP_2, STMP_3, ... - any value you like).

3. By default, the pointed value is associated with your preview files, for ex. it will be used as a title for PNG/GIF (you can change it in settings for group of elements, specially, due to the parameter preview_name_instead_id - aimed to use the title of the element instead of its ID).
