Look and branding

Brand kits

Your logo, palette and element styles saved once and applied to any project — the one thing that syncs to your account.

A brand kit is your visual identity saved once: logo, candle colours, palette, grid settings and a full set of per-element styles.

It is the one thing in the editor that syncs to your account. Everything else lives in this browser; a kit follows you to a new machine so a new laptop does not mean rebuilding your look.

What is in a kit

  • Your logo, and where it sits on the chart.
  • Candle colours — up, down, wick, border.
  • A palette the colour pickers offer first.
  • Grid and scale defaults.
  • Per-element styles — how your zones, levels, text and the rest look.

Applying one

Settings → Appearance → Brand lists your kits. Applying one rewrites the project's palette and element styles, and stamps the logo.

Recolouring is a mapping, not a repaint: elements that were using the old palette move to the corresponding new colour, and elements you coloured by hand outside the palette are left alone.

Applying a kit is an edit, not a preview

It changes the project. It is one Ctrl+Z away, but there is no "try before applying".

Creating and editing

New kit captures the current project's look as a starting point, which is almost always easier than building one from nothing. From there, edit the fields directly.

Mark one kit as your default and new blank projects start with it.

Stored inside the kit as an embedded image, which is why kit lists deliberately do not load it — the logo is by far the largest thing in a kit, and a dashboard fetching a dozen of them would be slow for no reason. It is loaded when a logo is actually about to be stamped.

Practical consequence: keep the file small. A 200 KB PNG is plenty for a corner mark, and a 2 MB one makes every kit operation slower.

The kit's logo vs the one in your video

Appearance → Logo is the kit's logo slot: identity, stamped into a project when the kit is applied. What lands in the project is an ordinary element in the overlay layer, which is where you then position, scale and time it.

Editing the element changes this video. Editing the kit changes what the next project starts with. See logo, product mark and safe areas.

Kits and presets are different things

A preset is one saved style for one kind of element. A kit is a whole identity applied to a whole project. Use presets while building a video; use a kit when starting one.
