Your first project

A project holds one film: its media, timeline, characters and storyboard. This page takes you from your Projects page to an open project in the editor.

Create a project

1. Sign-in opens the Sandbox. Choose Projects from the account menu; every project you own is listed here. On desktop, use the sidebar toggle to collapse or expand the menu.

   

   

2. Click New project. Type a Project name, then pick a Resolution and a Frame rate. Choose a Video model if you want to change it. Video quality starts at Full. Image, voice, music and sound-effects models are already set for the project. You can change the format later in the project's settings.

   To keep a copy of generated videos on your computer, click Choose project folder: they are saved there under Generated videos, organised by scene and shot. This is optional.

   

   

3. Click Create. The project opens in the editor.

   

   

Prepare dialogue voices

1. Before generating Storyboard dialogue, choose a saved ElevenLabs voice in each character or object's Voice tab. In project settings, Off-screen / narrator voice supplies lines assigned to Narrator; it does not replace a character or object whose voice is missing. Existing project audio remains available. See Storyboard dialogue for delivery, exact pauses and per-line recording.

Seedance 2.0 US 4K is available in the Sandbox model list with fixed 4K output. In Projects it appears only when the project size is 4K (3840 × 2160); changing to a smaller size switches its editable selections to Seedance 2.5. Generation requires verified 4K pricing to be available.
