Following a generation

Once the generation is started, you land in Projects: its card shows the source video and the time left. You can close the page: the generation carries on without you.

The “running” pill in the top bar also takes you to Projects. A running generation has no screen of its own: its tracking screen, with its clips, opens from its card once it is finished.

The steps

	Step	What happens
1	Fetching the video	Downloading the source, or receiving your file.
2	Transcribing	What is said, timestamped word by word.
3	Looking for highlights	The analysis picks the passages. The most-replayed curve steers it when it exists.
4	Cutting the clips	Each moment becomes a clip.
5	Reframing to 9:16	The frame follows the speaking face, or the subject.
6	Checking the clips	Inspecting the clips produced and picking their thumbnails.
7	Finishing up	Subtitles, branding, delivery.

Clips arrive together, at the end: they all appear at once when the last step is done, not one by one.

The queue

One generation at a time per account. If you start more, they wait their turn, twenty at most, and start one after another. A window reminds you before you start, with See the running generation or Start anyway. Each waiting generation already has its card in Projects.

When one generation is running and twenty are waiting, the queue is full: a new request is refused, and nothing is charged. Start it again when a slot frees up. An active live stream watch also takes the generation slot.

What you can do meanwhile

• Close the page. Nothing stops.
• Go elsewhere in the app. The banner follows.
• Stop the generation, from its card’s … menu in Projects → Stop the generation. The clips already produced stay in your library. Stopping is final.

Stopping does not refund the transcription

If the transcription is finished, the whole transcribed portion is charged, as if the generation had gone to the end. If it is not finished yet, stopping costs nothing. The confirmation window tells you which case you are in.

When it fails

A failed generation is not charged.

It does not disappear: its card stays in Projects, marked “Failed”, with the reason and what fixes it. Its … menu offers Retry, which reopens Generate with the link already in the field. See A failed generation stays visible.

Finding a past generation

In Projects, every generation is a card, and every monitored live stream is a single one. Clicking a card reopens its tracking screen, with its clips; a live stream’s card opens the stream’s page, segment by segment.
