Projects & Saving

Sign in with your zvid.io account (the same one used by the dashboard and API) and projects live in the cloud.

Saving​

  • Save (Ctrl+S or the top-bar save button) stores the project as a cloud draft. Drafts are private to your account.
  • Save as template converts the project into a stored template with a tpl_… id — the handle you pass to the API's render endpoint with per-render variables.
  • Unsaved work also survives page reloads locally, but cloud saves are the durable copy.

Loading​

  • The load-project browser lists your cloud projects with search, pagination, and delete.
  • The dashboard's Projects page shows the same list — each project opens in the editor with one click. See Projects & renders in the dashboard.
  • "Load an example project" in the top bar opens a gallery of ready-made projects — the fastest way to explore what the editor can do.

Projects and templates open directly by URL:

https://editor.zvid.io/?project=prj_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
https://editor.zvid.io/?template=tpl_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Useful for "edit this template" buttons in your own tools and for sharing work-in-progress with teammates on the same account.

Import​

The Import button accepts any Zvid payload JSON — including payloads generated by your code. The editor round-trips everything it understands and preserves fields it doesn't touch.

Undo / redo​

Every edit is undoable: Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z (see all shortcuts).
