Managing projects

Sign-in opens the Sandbox. Choose Projects from the account menu to find your projects. The desktop sidebar can collapse to icons; on mobile, open the menu button. To make a new one, see Your first project.

When you reopen a project in the same browser, the editor returns to your last panel, internal tab, selected item and scroll position. Searches, filters and expanded inspector sections are remembered for each project. Playback stays paused. This workspace stays in this browser; clearing the site's browser data removes it, and it does not follow you to another device.

Find a project

The Projects page focuses on your project library. Open Sandbox from the account menu to generate outside a project.

Type in Search projects to filter by name. Use the two buttons beside it to switch between the grid of cards and a compact list.

Rename, duplicate or export

1. Click the three-dot button on a project's card to open its menu.

   

   

• Rename changes the project's name.
• Duplicate makes a copy named "… copy". If some footage lives only on your computer, the copy may ask you to relink it the first time you open it.
• Export project saves the project as a .cutipai file on your computer — to keep a copy, or to move it to another account.

Import a project

Click Import project and choose a .cutipai file. You can rename it before importing; the dialog also tells you what it contains.

If the project uses footage from another computer, those clips arrive offline. cutipAI offers to relink them straight away — choose the folder where your copies are — or you can skip and relink later in the editor.

Project voices

1. Project dialogue uses the saved ElevenLabs voice assigned to each character or object. Set an off-screen voice in project settings and choose Narrator on a dialogue line to use it. A speaker without a voice must be assigned one before recording; the narrator never substitutes automatically. Imported projects keep their existing audio, but new recordings need voices available in your account. See Storyboard dialogue.

Delete and restore

1. Choose Delete project in the project's menu, then Move to trash. Nothing on your computer is touched — your footage and exports stay where they are.

2. Click Trash to see deleted projects. Each card says how many days it has left. Click Restore to bring a project back.

Account tools

The account menu also opens Storage, where you can review your allowance, remove stored files or purchase more space.
