    Concept first: how a series kit gets made

    Start with a brief, pick a look, get three takes on the concept for one credit, pick your favorite, then build the full kit. Title slide, worship background, social story and square graphic, all matched to the concept you approved.

    Transcript

    Hey, hey, how's it going? So this is PixelChurch, and I want to walk you through how a sermon series kit gets made. It's basically one decision at a time, and it starts with the concept. So you start with a brief. Give the series a title, a subtitle, the anchor verse, and honestly just a sentence or two on what the series is about. That's it. Then you pick a look. These are hand built styles, they're all tuned for church graphics, so you're kind of choosing a direction instead of fighting with a prompt. Now here's the part I love. One credit gets you three takes on the concept. They paint at the same time, so you're looking at real options in well under a minute. These are quick drafts. So pick the one that feels right. The one you choose gets re rendered at full quality, and that part's free. Happy with it? Build the kit. That's the only moment the bigger spend happens, and it happens after you've seen the concept, not before. And a few minutes later the whole kit is sitting there. Title slide, worship background, social story, and a square graphic, all matched to the concept you approved. So that's the whole idea. Approve the concept first, and everything else follows it. Hopefully this was helpful. Go make something for Sunday.

    Watch how it works: help right where you are

    Every screen in the studio that asks you to make a decision now carries a Watch how it works link. It opens the walkthrough on top of the page you are already on, so you keep your brief and pick up where you left off. All of them also live on the walkthroughs page.

    Transcript

    Hey, hey, how's it going? So this is a quick one. If you're somewhere in PixelChurch and you're about to click something and you're honestly not sure what it does, you don't have to guess. Here's the new series screen. You write the brief, you pick a look. And right under the button that starts the whole thing, there's a small Watch how it works link. It even tells you how long it is. So click it, and the walkthrough opens right on top of the page you're already on. It starts playing on its own. Nothing navigates away. Close it, and everything you typed is still sitting right there. That's kind of the whole point. The answer shows up where you got stuck, instead of in a help center you have to go dig through. And if you'd rather watch a few back to back, they all live on the walkthroughs page. Every one is about a minute, recorded in the real studio, and new ones land as we ship things. So that's it. Short answers, right where you are. Hopefully this was helpful. Go make something for Sunday.

    Your four-image kit: knowing when a series is finished

    Every series has a four-image kit. Title slide, worship background, social story and square graphic. The bar at the top of the series page tells you how many are ready, Finish my kit makes only the ones you are missing, and when all four are done the main button hands you every image in one download.

    Transcript

    Hey, hey, how's it going? So I want to show you a small thing that honestly makes a big difference. It's your image kit, and it's really about knowing exactly when your series is finished and ready to use. So every series you make has a kit. Four images. A title slide, a worship background, a social story, and a square graphic. That's the set. And right at the top there's a bar that tells you where you are. Three of four. Each piece is a chip. A check means it's done and saved, and the empty one is what you're still missing. So here's the part I like. Finish my kit only makes what's actually missing. Your finished images stay exactly as they are. It paints the square off the title slide you already approved. Same look, same palette, same type. You don't have to art direct it again. And there it is. Four of four. Your four image kit is ready. And now the main button is one download. All four images, one file. So that's it. Four images is the finish line, and you always know how close you are. Hopefully this was helpful. Go make something for Sunday.

    Make another: your next series starts from your last one

    A finished series now offers Make another, in the command bar and at the bottom of the page. It opens a new brief with the subtitle, scripture, description and style already carried over, leaving only the title blank, because the title is the part that is actually different next time.

    Transcript

    Hey, hey, how's it going? So I want to show you a small thing that saves a real amount of typing. It's for the second series you make, and the third, and honestly the tenth. So here's a series that's done. Rooted. Four images, finished. And normally this is where it ends. Starting the next one meant an empty form all over again. So look up in the bar. There's a new button there now. Make another. And it's down at the bottom of the series too, if that's where you already are. So click that, and read the top of the page. Starting from Rooted. The subtitle, scripture, description and style carried over. And they really did. There's the subtitle. There's the scripture. There's the description you already wrote. And down at the bottom, the style you picked last time is still picked. The only empty box is the title. Which is the right one to be empty, because that's the part that's actually different this time. So I type the new name, and the brief is finished. Show me three concepts. Same as always. One credit, three to pick from. So that's it. Your next series starts from your last one instead of from nothing. Hopefully this was helpful. Go make something for Sunday.

    Transcript

Right on your library there's a This week card. Click Start this Sunday's pack. So all you need for each one is a title and one short line. The date, the time, and the place are optional. Add them if they help. You can add up to three a week. So I'll add our Trunk or Treat too, with the date, the time, and where to park. Every announcement gets a slide for the screen and a square post for social. You can add a story too. It's one credit per image. And honestly this is my favorite part. By default it matches your current series, so the whole week looks like one family. Give it about a minute, and there's your pack. A slide and a square for each one, and honestly they look like they came right out of the series. Download them right here. And if something changes, hit Edit text or print, and text fixes are free. So that's This Sunday. A few minutes, and every announcement looks like it belongs. Hopefully this was helpful.
