Managing Videos
Track, edit, share, download, and delete your Videos from the Videos Library and workspace.
The Videos Library
Navigate to Videos in the studio sidebar to see your Videos Library, a grid sorted by most recently updated. Each card shows the Video's title and when it was last edited.
The library shows every Video in your workspace; there's currently no search box or style filter on this page.
While a Video is still generating, its card isn't clickable and shows a status label instead:
- Generating: Jellypod hasn't produced a playable render yet.
- Preparing: the script, visuals, and music are done and a render is in progress.
- Updating: you can already open the Video (it has a playable render), but a background job, like a narration or visual regeneration, is still running.
- Needs attention: generation failed. Use Retry generation on the card to try again, or Delete to remove it. Deleting a failed Video cannot be undone.
Once a Video has a playable render, click its card to open its full editable workspace.
The Video Workspace
Opening a Video shows the same editable workspace as a Short: a rail of visuals above a continuous, paragraph-by-paragraph narration editor, with a host picker, background music control, watermark control, and pronunciation guide in the toolbar. See The Short Workspace for the full walkthrough; everything there applies to a Video, including:
- Regenerating one narration paragraph or every stale paragraph at once, for free
- Regenerating an individual shot's visual for 10 credits per second of that shot, or dragging in your own image or video
- Swapping the host, which restages the narration for regeneration at no cost
- Replacing or removing the background music
- Adding, changing, or removing a watermark/logo (Creator plan and above)
Because a Video can run up to 20 minutes, expect proportionally more narration paragraphs and shots to review than in a Short.
There's no full regeneration option for a completed Video, and no way to delete one once it has a render. If you want a wholly different result, create a new Video instead of trying to rework an existing one from scratch.
Sharing and Downloading
From the Video's page, use:
- Share: opens a dialog with the Video's public share link. If the narration is out of date or no render exists yet, the same dialog has a Render Video (or Re-render Latest Version) button to produce one; re-rendering pushes your latest edits to the same shared link.
- Download: downloads the current render directly. Download doesn't trigger a render itself; if no render exists yet, render it first from the Share dialog.
Rendering or re-rendering a Video costs 5 credits per second of its duration; see Understanding Credits.
The public share page plays your Video framed at the orientation it was rendered in: Portrait Videos fill the screen, while Landscape and Square Videos are centered and letterboxed on a black background instead of being stretched into a vertical frame. An always-visible "Made with Jellypod" mark links visitors to jellypod.com, alongside a desktop-only Jellypod logo in the corner. Viewers can tap to pause or resume, toggle sound, and drag or tap the bottom scrubber to jump to any point; when playback ends, an end screen invites them to try Jellypod or replay it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a Video fails to generate?
Its card in the Videos Library shows Needs attention with Retry generation and Delete buttons. Retrying restarts generation; deleting removes it permanently.
Can I change a Video's aspect ratio after generating?
Not after generation starts. Create a new Video to use a different orientation.
Can I search or filter my Videos Library?
Not currently. The library lists every Video in your workspace, sorted by most recently updated, with no search box or style filter.
Can I delete a Video after it finishes generating?
Not currently. Delete is only available on a Video that failed to generate, from its card in the Videos Library.
Do I need to render a Video separately after generating it?
No, generation produces the first render automatically. After you edit a Video, open Share and click Re-render Latest Version to push your changes to a new render and to the public share link.
