[MUSIC] In this video
we're going to look at CC Libraries.
I love them. You've been probably avoiding them for a long time.
They're amazingly let's get to use them because we're going to add things like this,
logos and images and colors and it's
going to mean we can use them in other InDesign documents,
but also look, they appear the same in Photoshop and
Illustrator in After Effects and all the other lovely Adobe products.
Let's go and learn how to use the.
First thing we need to do is make sure you can see a CC Libraries,
it's on the Window, CC Libraries.
Let's make a new library.
I'm going to keep this one that I've got but if you've
skipped the early tutorial we did when we made our colors,
you'll have to go to this little drop-down.
It's probably going to say my library.
It's the one you get by default and the bottom here says create new library.
Create it, give it a name I've called mine
[inaudible] for this client that am working for.
Now let's say we've added these colors earlier,
but let's say you skip that.
Let say that, maybe this just a new color that's appeared.
What you do is I've drawn a rectangle and it's filled with
some random color that I now want to include in part as my swatches.
The way to do it is have it selected with the black color and what we can do,
you see this little plus sign to the bottom here.
I'm in my Great at Heart library.
I want to add something to it and you can see here is a graphic fill color.
Graphic [inaudible] add the square itself.
I don't need that square listening to fill color.
I click add for just that fill color.
If I have them both selected, let me show you.
If I had the graphic as well,
I get a rectangle.
That's cool, means that later on I can drag
out the exact same rectangle and use it over and over again.
That might be useful for you.
I don't want him so I can click on him,
hit the little trash can, bye bye.
Two of these colors now, goodbye. It's got an ugly color.
I don't want, goodbye.
That's how to add colors,
other things you can add,
probably the most useful is images.
This is image here and I'm going to add it so that I can use it in
lots of other documents because this library stays there,
doesn't matter what document you have open.
If I got a new document, File,
new document, click create.
You can see these are still here,
allow me to quickly grab out colors and stuff.
Let's go back to this one.
Now adding images can be interesting.
If it's just the image by itself,
you can just click hold and drag it in but you can see I've dragged it because
I've already cropped it and you can see it drag cropped version of it.
It's the image is actually quite big.
What you can do is double-click the image.
You can start to see it spread out for this red edge
here and that means I've got the whole image selected and down here,
you see now can I drag it, I can.
I have just dragged it by double-clicking it and you can see that's the entire image.
I'm going to download this guy. This is my food image. You can add images that way.
Other things you might add,
say this logo here, I can slicked it because it's not cropped,
I can just drag the whole thing in there and that's my logo green.
You can add blocks of type.
Like this one here, say this little round all thing I've made,
I want to use over and over again.
It's something like it's held, I don't know,
a call to action or a unique selling point.
I'm going to click and hold and drag it and you can see the whole unit comes with me.
If I go to this next document and I want to quickly build a thing,
I can drag out a full-page,
I can go up the top here and I can click on filling it with the green,
dark green, drag the logo out.
I can add my image and this little round all thing.
You can see how quickly you can stop building extra documents
because you've got everything in this library gets even better.
If you jump out to another Adobe products,
I jumped into say, Photoshop.
Am working on this and say I need that color row.
You can see this is another library that I'm working on but if I switch to this one here,
where is he, Great at Heart,
you can see he's in this one as well.
I can use them across all these documents.
Here we go. I'm not sure why this drawing that I've
done needs roundels and stuff but you get the point right.
You can go between any Adobe product.
I use this a lot between say,
my video work in After Effects and premia,
or my graphic design work at a Photoshop,
the Illustrator, they all use the same libraries.
One last thing to consider is that,
say you are a freelancer,
or you are beginning a freelancing role.
It means that when you sign in to another computer and you use your Adobe ID,
these libraries will pre-populate.
If I go into an office and they say, done,
I want you to do some work with us and you're going to use our machine.
I jump on my machine and even if they don't have a license for,
I can download the trial and login with my username and ID.
You can have it installed on more than one computer when it opens up,
the trial version becomes a full version because I'm
a paying customer and my libraries pre-populate with the stuff that I use.
That can be really handy when you're switching machines,
it all syncs up and it also does cool things with some of the Adobe apps.
Go check out the app store.
They're awesome cool things that libraries work with them too.
Libraries are awesome. You've probably seen them
[inaudible] Adobe products and ignored them,
start using them because they are wicked.
Wicked is not the word. I take it back.
They are awesome or great, not wicked.
Terribly ending over, next video, please.
