Turn an existing project into a reusable template

The challenge
When you build out a project — setting up all your scenes, labels, timings and briefings — that structure is locked to that one project. If you later realise the work belongs in a template, so it can be reused for future recordings, there's no way to turn the project into one. Projects can't be converted into templates today, so the only way forward is to rebuild the template by hand: open the project in one browser tab and a new template in another, then copy every name, timing and briefing across one by one. For anyone who has already invested time structuring a project, that's a lot of duplicated effort.

Our approach
Let's add a way to create a template directly from an existing project — in one step, carrying over its scenes, structure, labels, timings and briefings — so the setup you've already built can be reused without rebuilding it from scratch.

Expected impact

• Reuse a project's full setup (scenes, labels, timings, briefings) as a template without rebuilding it by hand.

• Recover cleanly when work was started under a project but really belonged in a template.

• Save the duplicated effort of copying a project into a template field by field.
