Save and recover work in progress

Select Save draft in Create to keep your settings in this browser, then reopen the entry through My Creations and Drafts. Keep the original audio separately. A draft is a saved starting configuration, so you should verify the audio and selection again before generating a project from it.

Before you start

Keep a copy of the source recording and any reference images in a folder you control. Note the audio file name and selected start and end times. Browser storage can be cleared, so it should not be the only place you keep your concept or working materials.

Steps

  1. Open Create and set the description, visual choices and audio passage. Select Save draft and wait for the confirmation that it was saved in this browser. If there is no confirmation, do not assume the draft exists.
  2. Open My Creations and select Drafts. Find the intended entry by its details and select Open. Check that its settings belong to the version you want to continue, especially if you saved several similar ideas.
  3. Choose the original audio file again when needed. Draft settings and an audio file name do not replace the source file itself. Replay the selected passage and compare its start and end with your notes.
  4. Verify the character references, aspect ratio and generation mode before submitting. Review the current charge on Make music video. Follow the audio preparation guide if the restored configuration points to a different file or passage.

Worked example

Suppose you save a draft for a chorus beginning at 42 seconds. The next day you export a new mix with two extra seconds of silence at the start. Reusing the old selection would begin too early. Either reopen the original file or update the selection to match the new mix before generation.

Check the result

You should be able to reopen the draft, identify the intended audio and reproduce the original selection. After generating, keep the project and downloaded files separate from your draft notes. The final export guide covers which finished assets to check and retain.

If something goes wrong

If a draft is missing, confirm that you are using the same browser and profile. Private browsing, cleared storage or another device may not contain it. If a reference is unavailable, choose it again. Restore your source files from your own backup before trying to continue the production.
