FAQ

How do I get briefs?

We email the Collective with a brief. If you want in, just opt-in. Deliver to the spec, we run one focused review round, and approved VidPlates are added to the library. (Spots per brief are limited )

How does payment work?

Each brief includes a fixed per-template fee with clearly scoped deliverables. Once your VidPlate is approved, payment is processed within 24 hours. (Rates vary by complexity and scope.)

How long will each brief take?

We normally give you 5 days with us estimating 3-5 hours per brief. We’ll give you a ready-to-go project setup for each brief placeholder assets, style guidance, and any required elements so you can focus on making things move and the creative.

How often will I get briefs?

We aim to send briefs weekly. To keep work steady for everyone, we cap the number of active designers per cycle.

Can I use plugins?

Yes, where they’re supported. Our automation pipeline allows a set of approved plugins; each brief includes a whitelist and any version requirements.
