Answers to common Kinema workspace, source, editor, and billing questions.

#Common questions
Can I create a project with only a title and voiceover?
Yes. Reference notes improve direction, but a clean voiceover gives Kinema enough timing to plan the first timeline.
Where does a project go after I press Generate?
Kinema creates a project URL first. When the timeline is ready, that project can open the editor.
Can I leave while a build runs?
Yes. Return from All Projects or a Filters state such as Building, Ready to edit, or Needs resume.
When do I pick source types?
After the brief step. The source screen appears before the project starts so the build follows the right media rules.
Can I use my own material?
Yes. Use Sourced Footage, Sourced Images, or upload replacements in the editor when a timeline exists.
Who is responsible for licensing?
The creator is responsible for reviewing rights, factual claims, and publishing compliance before release.
Can I replace a bad clip?
Yes. Open the editor, select the clip, and swap it from the Media panel: another clip from the project, one of your uploads, or a stock result.
What is the difference between Billing and Upgrade plan?
Billing manages invoices and payment details. Upgrade plan shows your current plan and available plan changes.
Does re-rendering count?
The first render is included in the project. Each re-render costs 100 credits, and Kinema keeps up to 3 renders per video, so delete or download one from the Renders panel to make room for more.
