Managing Your Projects

The Projects view is where you create, open, search, import, export, and manage your video projects.

Create a Project

Click New Project to open the create-project modal.

Project types

Wayaframe lets you start a project in four ways:

• Blank Canvas: starts with an empty timeline and opens the editor directly. Use this if you already have your own media and want full control from the start
• Generate with AI: starts the guided creation flow for style, script, voice, scenes, and editor. Use this if you want Wayaframe to generate the structure and first draft of the video for you
• Audio to Video: starts from an uploaded audio file or a library audio asset. Use this if you have a voiceover, podcast, or soundtrack and want to build visuals around it
• From File: creates a project from a PDF, PPT, or PPTX file. Use this if you have an existing presentation or document you want to turn into a video

Wayaframe also supports importing Excel, CSV, and TSV files to create animated data visualizations and charts inside the editor. See Charts and Data for details.

Project setup fields

When creating a project, configure these fields before continuing:

• Name give the project a recognizable title. This is what you and anyone the project is shared with will see in the project list

• Resolution sets the output dimensions of the video. The default is FHD (1920x1080). Presets are grouped by orientation:

  • Horizontal: SD (640x480), HD (1280x720), FHD (1920x1080), 2K (2048x1080), QHD (2560x1440), 4K UHD (3840x2160), 4:3 (1440x1080)
  • Square: 1:1 Small (600x600), 1:1 Large (1080x1080)
  • Vertical: 4:5 Small (600x750), 4:5 Large (1080x1350), 3:4 (1080x1440), 9:16 FHD (1080x1920)

  You can also enter a custom Width and Height (256px to 7680px) and lock the aspect ratio to keep proportions when adjusting one dimension

• Background Color sets the canvas fill behind your content. The default is black. You can change this after the project is created from the canvas settings in the editor header

• Brand Kit (optional) to link a saved set of brand colors, fonts, gradients, logos, text presets, subtitle styles, and voices to the project. These assets become available as presets inside the editor. You can change or remove the Brand Kit at any time from the editor sidebar. See Brand Kit for setup details

If you choose Audio to Video, upload an audio file or select one from your library. Supported audio formats are MP3, WAV, and M4A, with a maximum audio file size of 400 MB. See How to Import Media Files for more on importing assets.

If you choose From File, import one of these document types. See How to Import Documents into a Project for the full workflow:

• PDF
• PPT
• PPTX

Looking to import Excel, CSV, or TSV data? You can create animated charts and data visualizations inside the editor. See Charts and Data for details.

AI-Assisted Creation

If you choose Generate with AI, Wayaframe opens a guided workflow that generates the video and every asset it needs. Each step builds on the previous one:

1. Video Style: set the visual direction, tone, and target duration for the video.
2. Script: generate a script with AI or paste your own. The script builder offers guided workflows tailored to different video types and niches, so the output matches your content style. The final script drives scene structure and voiceover timing.
3. Voice: generate voiceover audio from the script using AI voices. You can also import your own audio or record a new one directly in the app.
4. Scene Director: generate visuals for each scene, review the results, swap or regenerate individual scenes, and adjust timing.
5. Editor: continue to the full editing workspace to refine clips, add transitions, overlay text, and prepare the final export.

You can skip any AI step and continue with your own content. For example, you can write your own script, skip voiceover generation, or replace generated scenes with your own media.

If you choose Audio to Video, Wayaframe starts later in the workflow with the uploaded audio already attached, skipping script and voice generation.

Open and Manage Projects

From the project list, click any project card to open it. If the project was still in the guided creation flow, it reopens at that stage. If it already reached the editor, it opens directly in the editor.

The project grid includes a toolbar for narrowing down your list:

• Search by project name, or by collaborator email when viewing shared projects.
• Status filter: show only Completed or In Progress projects.
• Ownership filter: switch between projects you own and projects shared with you.
• Date modified filter: Today, Yesterday, Last 30 Days, Last 90 Days, or Last Year.
• Sort by: Newest Edited, Oldest Edited, Alphabetical (A-Z), or Alphabetical (Z-A).

Active filters show a count badge. Use Clear All Filters to reset everything at once.

Project menu actions

Each project card includes a menu with these actions:

• Edit
• Rename
• Duplicate
• View Summary
• Export
• Share
• Delete

Bulk actions

Select multiple project cards to reveal a bulk-action popover. From there you can select all projects on the page or delete the selected projects in one step.

Shared projects

When another user shares a project with you, it appears under the Shared ownership filter. You can open shared projects the same way you open your own. See Sharing Projects for how invitations and real-time collaboration work.

Import and Export Project Files

Wayaframe uses the .wayaframe format for portable project archives. This lets you move full projects between machines, share them with collaborators offline, or keep versioned backups. For real-time sharing without exporting files, see Collaboration.

Import a project

1. From the project list, click the more options menu (three-dot icon) next to the New Project button.
2. Select Import Project to open the import modal.
3. Browse for a .wayaframe file or drag and drop one into the modal.
4. Review the preview, which shows the project thumbnail, title, media counts, duration, and total file size.
5. Rename the project title if needed, then confirm the import.

Wayaframe extracts all media, tracks, metadata, and brand kit associations from the archive and creates a new project in your list.

Export a project

1. Open the three-dot menu on a project card and select Export.
2. Review the export preview, which shows the project thumbnail, title, duration, media counts, and estimated archive size.
3. If the project has a Brand Kit linked, toggle Include Brand Kit to bundle the kit's logos, voices, and brand data into the archive.
4. Choose a save location on your computer. The file is saved as project-name.wayaframe.

The export packages all media, tracks, and project metadata into a single portable file that can be imported on another machine or shared with a collaborator.

You can also export the project archive from inside the editor. Open the menu in the editor header and select Export .wayaframe.

Project Summary

Open the three-dot menu on a project card and select View Summary to see a read-only overview of how the project was created and configured. This is useful when you want to review a project's setup without opening the editor.

The summary has up to three sections, depending on how the project was created:

Basic

Always shown. Displays the core project properties:

• Title
• Aspect ratio (computed from the resolution)
• Resolution (width x height)
• Frame rate
• Background color (with a color swatch preview)
• Duration

Script

Shown if the project includes a generated or user-provided script. Displays:

• Source badge indicating whether the script was AI-generated or user-provided.
• Script text, expandable if the content is long.
• Original prompt used during AI generation, with a copy button. Only shown for AI-generated scripts.
• Context tags and emotion tags used to guide the AI generation.

Voice

Shown if the project includes voice output. Displays:

• Source badge indicating whether the voiceover is AI-generated, rendered audio, or an uploaded file.
• Provider with logo (Murf, ElevenLabs, or Minimax).
• Voice name, avatar, and details such as gender, language, and style when available.
• Audio duration, file size, and format.
• Count of additional voices if the project uses more than one.

Drag and Drop Shortcuts

The Projects view also supports drag-and-drop shortcuts:

• Drop a .wayaframe file to import a project
• Drop a PDF, PPT, or PPTX file to create a project from that file
