Share links

#Create a link

In a project stored in the cloud, open the … menu at the top right and choose Share. The first time, AnimSpark creates the link (Creating your link…; getting the film ready for viewers can take a minute or two) and copies it.

The Share dialog then gives you:

• Copy link. Anyone with the link can watch.
• Download MP4 to save the film.
• Stop sharing to turn the link off.

#Always the latest film

A share link follows the project. When the agent finishes a new version, the link shows it; opening Share on an older link brings it up to date (Updating to your latest film…). There's no need to send a new link after each change.

#What viewers see

Viewers don't need an account. They see the film with a player, the title, Shared by followed by the part of your email address before the @, the prompt that made it, and a button to Create your own with AnimSpark. Links show a preview card when you paste them into chats and social posts.

#Turn a link off

Press Stop sharing. The old link stops working right away (Sharing is off. The old link no longer works.). Create a new link makes a fresh one if you change your mind; the old address stays off.

Someone opening a link that was turned off sees Link unavailable.

#Projects on your Mac

A project stored on your Mac has nothing online for a link to show yet, so Share offers to publish it to the cloud first: Publish before you share. Publish to cloud uploads a copy; your folder stays the original. Large footage can take a few minutes. When it's done, it says Published. Your cloud copy is up to date. See The Mac app.
