Using Templates / Beispiele nutzen

[Mitsch8]

Hallo Affinity,
ich möchte gerne die Beispiele nutzen. Vor allem in Publisher sind die Beispiele eine gute Starthilfe, um loszulegen.
Allerdings kann ich nicht einmal formatierte Textrahmen in mein neues Dokument kopieren. Dann machen die Vorlagen ja keinen Sinn!
In meiner anderen Software, z.B. für Webdesign kann ich die Vorlagen ja auch komplett nutzen und umbauen.
So beginnt man ja auch gewöhnlich, erst baut man sich Vorlagen um, und wenn man sich besser auskennt, dann macht man alles komplett selber.
Könnt ihr das bitte ändern, also die Vorlagen editierbar ,machen?!?
Danke!

Hello, affinity,
I would like to use the examples. Especially in Publisher, the examples are a good starting point to get started.
However, I cannot even copy formatted text frames into my new document. Then the templates do not make sense!
In my other software, e.g. for web design, I can also use the templates completely and rebuild them.
That's how you usually start, first you rebuild templates, and when you know more about it, you do everything completely by yourself.
Can you please change that, so the templates editable, make them?!
Thanks!

Hi Mitsch8,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
I believe you are referring to the sample documents we provide with the app, accessible from the Help > Welcome Screen. These are not templates (to be used as such) but sample documents to show how they were built just for study/demo purposes. They are locked and cannot be exported, copy/pasted or used in any practical way. The templates section is accessible going to menu File > New then clicking the Templates button on the left column but currently we do not provide any.

Hello there, 

 

As a C-suite executive having worked in feature films, television, a major label for 11 years+, I have created several millionaires, have converted a small jingle house where their needle drop rates ranged ~$250-$500, and had a special division called, “Groove Addicts” that handled television commercials where they thought $50-$75K was a considerable amount and was about to leave the interview as I was under the impression it was for music supervision.  It was for cold calling sales.  I became the first in house Music Sup.  Got the fee’s as Hugh as $150K (1st/2nd end title) with the average ~ $5K. Taught them music sup, (there music was way off, they wanted to charge the music sups for the cues), (i.e. they were way off). .. I brought some contacts on-board (SONY™, Tascam, Sibelius, Finale, Sonic Foundry), took a sound design library generating little revenue, added some FX, loops, sound design, and released several (3) three sample kits adding $3 million to their bottom line at ZERO cost to them.  I called them Bass-X, CinematiX -Vol I., CinematiX -Vol 2, While at this major label working with a MEGA HUGE MUSIC SUP, she also opened a retail store in Santa Monica that I helped put on the map while also working for her companies (retail/music supervision company) and the record label at the same time.  We had the labels blessing.  She could do anything.   Anyway, I only mention as I think not offering files that users can edit is the fastest way to gain a following.   Especially if they can edit the templates have the time to learn a new platform and can compete with Adobe.

 

Just my .02 cents.

 

P.S. FWIW, they got rid of the music library (sold to W.B.) and renamed the firm as a post firm.

 

 

The naming?  It seems they liked my naming convention, released before Elon musk too. ..

 

 

GrooveWerX (or something similar)….  . Haven’t seen a royalties in a while - - any advice?

 

Peace

Love the program though - - really, should unlock, will gain more than loose.

 

 

Apple dropped their app - could make a site under 10 seconds (not the greatest thing but great concept and had we been able to edit the parts, wow, that would have made a huge difference.

Hallo again, thank you for your message. So when will Affinity provide some templates? To start working it would be helpful if we can copy for example an adjusted textframe out of the examples. Please ask, if Affinity could open the examples!  Thanx a lot!!!
