Core concepts

Six words carry most of the product. Everything else in these docs assumes them.

Project​

The unit of work. A project holds everything one video is made of — its sources, its scenes, its voice and avatar choices, its brand settings — and it is what you render and share. Projects live in a workspace and can be grouped into folders.

Source​

A piece of raw material: a screen recording, an uploaded video, an image, a slide deck. Sources are stored once in your asset library and can be used by more than one project.

Scene​

One beat of the video. A scene points at part of a source, carries its own narration line, and can have its own effects — a zoom, a callout, a blur. Scenes are the unit you reorder, re-cut and re-render. This is the important one: because a scene is independent, changing one does not disturb the others.

Voice​

The narration identity for a project — a synthetic voice that reads your script, or the original audio from your recording if you'd rather keep it. Workspaces can set a default so every new project starts on-brand.

Job​

A render in progress. Rendering is asynchronous: you submit a job, Decodx estimates its cost, you approve, and it runs in the background emitting progress events. Jobs can be watched, cancelled and re-run.

Share​

A published link to a finished video, its guide, or both. A share carries its own permissions and its own analytics, and can be embedded elsewhere or published onward.
