Projects Overview
What are Projects?
Projects are the permanent records of your generated videos in ReelBot.
Every time a video is successfully generated, it becomes a Project.
Projects preserve the final output and allow you to reuse, edit, publish, or download videos at any time.
If the Video Studio is where videos are created, Projects are where they live.
Why Projects exist
Projects exist to:
- keep generated videos accessible
- separate creation from management
- support reuse and iteration
- enable publishing and downloads
They are the backbone of long-term content workflows.
What a Project contains
Each Project includes:
- the generated video file
- associated metadata (title, type, duration)
- generation status
- links to publishing actions
- the ability to reopen the setup in Video Studio
Projects are immutable outputs — but they are editable through regeneration.
Project lifecycle
A Project follows a clear lifecycle:
- A draft is created in the Video Studio
- Generate Video is triggered
- Generation completes successfully
- The draft is removed
- A Project is created
From that point on, the Project becomes the source of truth.
Viewing Projects
The Projects page displays your videos in a list view.
You can:
- browse all projects
- search by title
- filter by status
Typical filters include:
- all
- completed
- processing
- failed
This helps you quickly locate specific work.
Project preview
Clicking a Project opens a preview.
From the preview you can:
- watch the video
- confirm captions and pacing
- validate the final output
Previewing does not modify the Project.
Project actions
Each Project supports several actions.
Download
Download the final video file for:
- manual uploads
- external tools
- archiving
Edit
Reopen the Project in the Video Studio.
This allows you to:
- regenerate specific steps
- adjust settings
- create a new version
Editing a Project does not overwrite the original unless regenerated.
Publish
Open the publishing dialog with:
- the video preselected
- metadata ready to fill
This allows quick distribution without re-uploading.
Delete
Delete the Project and its associated media.
Deletion:
- is permanent
- cannot be undone
- does not affect other Projects
This action requires confirmation.
Projects vs drafts
Projects and drafts serve different purposes.
Drafts
- temporary
- editable
- incomplete
- exist only during creation
Projects
- permanent
- generated
- reusable
- publishable
Once a Project exists, the draft is removed.
Reusing Projects
Projects are designed for reuse.
You can:
- publish the same video multiple times
- use it across platforms
- edit and regenerate variations
- revisit older videos for new distribution
This supports long-term content strategies.
Failed and processing Projects
If generation is:
- processing → status updates automatically
- failed → the draft remains intact
Failed Projects:
- do not consume video quota
- can be retried or adjusted
- preserve your work
Storage and limits
Projects count toward:
- your storage usage
- plan-specific limits
Usage is visible in:
- the Dashboard
- Subscription & Usage
Deleting Projects frees storage.
The CreatorOps perspective
In CreatorOps, outputs must be:
- durable
- reusable
- traceable
Projects provide that durability.
They allow you to treat videos as assets — not one-off outputs.
