Downloading A Social Media Post
While viewing all your social media bundles is nice, the real magic happens when you download a post and upload it to the social media platform of your choice. Here, we'll explore the elements within a post and how to download one.
A social post overview
You can access an individual social media post with just a few clicks.
Here, you'll see you Media Dashboard.
Click on 'Packs' in the top left corner of the dashboard.Here, you'll be able to see all of our packs that we release monthly. (we release packs before the 25th of every month.)
Let's explore the November 2021 pack.
Click on the 'View' button of the pack you want to look at.
Here, you'll be able to see all the posts within that specific bundle.
You can also click the 'View as list' button in the top right.
That will do what it says. List all the posts instead of seeing the preview of them. (see below)
Next, click 'View' of the post you want to download. (you can also click the title of the post)
Exploring the features
Now that you've entered an individual post, let's take a look at what's inside...
Preview
The first thing you'll see is a preview of that particular social media post. All posts come with a video or still image option, but whatever is the recommended (see Downloads below) option, that will be what is previewed here.
Downloads
Below the preview, you'll see a section entitled Downloads. Simply click on each item to download it. There will be up to four files to download:
- Video - This is the .mp4 file that is ready to be uploaded directly to the social media platform of your choice.
- Photoshop File - This is the raw Photoshop file used to create the still image version of the post. (You cannot upload this directly to a social media platform.) Use this file to customize the still image version yourself.
- Image - This is the .jpg file that is ready to be uploaded directly to the social media platform of your choice
- Note: This specific example doesn't have an image download because it is a video.
- After Effects File - This is the raw file used to create the video version of the post. (You cannot upload this directly to a social media platform.) Use this file to customize the video version yourself.
The recommended file - either the video or image - is what we suggest be the version you post to your social media, though the choice is completely up to you!
Suggested Caption
The text here is what we suggest to add as the caption to the post. Feel free to copy this exactly, make adjustments to it, or make your own caption altogether.
Resources
There may be one or multiple resources listed here, usually being the specific fonts used in that specific post. Some of these fonts are free, while others are paid. If you intended on customizing the posts yourself, you will need all the fonts listed here to do so. A quick Google search will help you find the font you're looking if you don't already have it installed on your device.
