📍 Tip: If you export, it will create a new video file. The original project file (the one you edit) is updated automatically when you hit the back arrow.

Key Tips & Troubleshooting

  Cross-Platform Syncing

  • Cloud Sync: As long as you use the same account, projects edited on Mobile can be opened on PC/Web, and vice versa. Projects must be uploaded to Spaces to enable cross-platform cloud usage.
  • Local Files: If you didn't log in when you first created the project (on PC), it might be saved locally only. Look in the "Local Projects" section.

"I can't find my old project!"

  • Check the Trash: Deleted projects go to the trash/recycle bin. You can restore them from there.
  • Check Login: Make sure you are on the correct account.
  • Local vs. Cloud: On PC, toggle between "Cloud" and "Local" views in the Projects library.

Recommendation

  • If you are making a major change to a historical task and want to keep the old version, duplicate the project first, then edit the copy.
