Project Cards: Resume, Rename, Delete

Quick answer: Every project is a card under Recent Projects on the home page and under Projects in the sidebar: a thumbnail, the name, and Step n/3 for how far it got. Click the card and the project reopens exactly there — nothing is lost by closing the browser, because every step saves itself. Hover for Rename and Delete Project. Deleting removes everything in the project — cast, sets, episodes, videos — permanently, and credits already spent are not refunded. Plans have a project limit; when it is reached, delete an old project or upgrade.

What is inside a project is what the card is a door to.

What the card shows

The thumbnail is the first cast sheet or a frame from a video; the name is what you typed in step 1 or what the read suggested. Step 1/3: the script is being or has been read. Step 2/3: the cast, sets and props. Step 3/3: episodes and the editor. Ad projects and remakes carry their own labels. View all opens the full list, newest first.

Resume

Click the card. Step 1 and 2 reopen in the wizard where you were; step 3 reopens the episode list, and from there the editor for the episode you were in. Every action saves as it happens — a generation you started keeps running while you are away, and the card reflects it when you return.

A card reopens the project at the step it was on; step 3 reopens the editor.

Rename

Hover the card, Rename, type the new name, Save. The name is only a label: it changes nothing inside the project. The project’s title in the summary is separate and stays.

Delete

Hover, Delete Project, then Confirm Delete. The dialog says it: every character, scene, item, episode and video in the project is removed, permanently. Credits spent on them are not refunded; a generation still queued in the project is stopped and refunded, one already generating is charged. Files are purged after a short delay; share links stop at once. Where files live.

The project limit

Each plan allows a number of projects; the Membership page lists it per plan. At the limit, creating a new project is refused with Project limit reached — delete an old project or upgrade your plan. Deleted projects free their slot at once. What a paid plan changes.

Sample projects

Featured Projects are not yours: they cannot be renamed or deleted and open read-only. Learning from a sample.

No. Only a generation still queued inside it is stopped and refunded.

Why can't I create a new project?

The plan's project limit is reached. Delete an old one or upgrade.

Does renaming change anything inside?

No. It is a label on the card.
