FAQ

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, choose the beat, then upload a replacement or re-roll the asset.

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?

Rendering uses compute, so teams should re-render after meaningful timeline changes rather than every tiny edit.
