Uploading External Assets

You can link external assets such as background PSDs or Harmony templates to Producer and upload a preview for it. These assets can then be directly opened from Producer or baked in a Harmony scene. To upload an external asset to, the asset must first exist in Producer. To learn how to create assets, see Creating Assets.

  1. In the top menu, select Upload > External Asset.

  2. In the Project field, select the Producer project. This is not the environment. Most of the time, you will select Main Project unless a different Producer project has been created.

  3. In the Asset Name field, start typing the name of an existing asset (already in Producer). As you type the name, existing assets will be displayed in the drop-down menu. Select the matching asset.

  4. Once the asset name is selected, in the Process field, the matching workflow tasks appear. Select the task matching your upload.

  5. In the Source section, click the Choose File button to browse for the file to upload. Note that the asset has to be located within the set workspace. If you select a file outside of the workspace, the upload will result in an error.

  6. In the Preview section, click the Choose File to select a flattened image such as a PNG or a JPG to display the preview in Producer.

  7. Click Create Snapshot.

    8. Once the process is complete, a success message appears.

    In Producer, the file is linked and the preview file is uploaded and updated.
