How to use Storiefied

1. 1Log in at /login with Google.
2. 2A guided tour runs once on your first visit to the dashboard. It rings each control as it explains it — skip it any time, and it will not come back.
3. 3Open My first story from the dashboard. That is the sample.
4. 4Select a beat, change its title, and watch the preview. That round trip is the whole editing loop.

Projects, footage and members all belong to a workspace. Invite people from Settings → Members with one of four roles.

Invitations are claimed the first time the person signs in with that address, so you can invite somebody before they have an account.

1. 1Go to Zoetropes and choose a file: a video or GIF (mp4, quicktime, webm, x-matroska, x-msvideo, mpeg, gif, jpeg, png, webp, avif), or an ordered set of images. Stills become the same kind of sequence through the same pipeline.
2. 2Give it a name. This is required: a workspace list of untitled sequences is unusable after the third one.
3. 3Pick a frame rate between 1 and 30. Higher is smoother and heavier; 1 to 12 suits slow, deliberate scrolling, 24 to 30 suits motion.
4. 4Upload. Progress is live, and it survives a page reload — the work is on the server, not in your tab.

• The clip is cut into gapless sections — one continuous take, so each section starts exactly where the last ended.
• Cancel at any point. The job stops at the next section rather than finishing quietly in the background.
• A failed clip tells you why — unsupported codec, no video stream, a broken container — rather than only that it failed.
• Retry after a failure or a cancellation without re-uploading.

1. 1Choose New project on the dashboard and name it. The web address is suggested from the name.
2. 2Upload footage, or pick footage the workspace already has.
3. 3Say what it is: a Film (one video, one continuous page) or a Book (frames from a video or your own images, one frame per screen, one page or several, in a direction you choose). Topic, audience and tone are optional.
4. 4Press Create. On paid plans the draft is written from what is actually in your footage; on the free plan you get a structured draft with one beat per section, ready for your words.
5. 5The editor opens on the draft. Nothing is public yet.

• The first page is always /. Others live at their address: chapter-2 becomes /chapter-2.
• A beat is one moment: a section of the page's footage with its own words, motion and transition into the next beat.
• Drag beats to reorder them, within a page or onto another page. The arrow buttons do the same from the keyboard.
• Two beats may play over the same section — a long shot with two captions.
• Selecting a beat scrolls the preview to it.

• Pick from a curated list of typefaces. There is no free-text font field: a typo would silently fall back to a system font.
• Fonts are served from our own servers, so a visitor's browser never contacts a third-party font host.

Each card is drawn in that theme’s own colours and faces.

• Each publish writes a version: the whole story, exactly as it was.
• Restoring an old version brings it back as your DRAFT. Putting it live is a second, deliberate step — losing a week of work to one click is not a feature.
• The editor and the project page tell you which version is live.
• Preview any version at its own URL without touching the live site.

Any page can ask for a password first. It is one shared password per page, not visitor accounts — right for a client preview or an unlisted deck.

• Set or change it in the page settings in the editor. It is never shown again after you save it.
• Changing the password immediately locks everyone who had the old one back out.
• A gated page is left out of your sitemap and asks search engines not to index it.
• Restoring an old version never unlocks a page.

1. 1Add the hostname under the project’s Domains page.
2. 2Publish the TXT record we show you. This proves you control the name — a CNAME alone proves nothing, so without it anyone could claim any domain.
3. 3Add the CNAME (or the A record, for an apex like example.com — apex names cannot carry a CNAME).
4. 4Press Verify. HTTPS is arranged automatically once it resolves.

A project can hold several hostnames but has one primary. Links, social previews, robots and the sitemap all use the primary, and the others can redirect to it — two names each calling themselves canonical splits your search ranking between them.

• Page views and clicks, per page and per link, with internal and external links separated.
• A rough visitor location from network-level headers. No third-party tracker is loaded unless you add your own.
• Visitor IP addresses are salted and hashed the moment they arrive, so returning visitors can be counted without anything identifying being stored.

1. 1Open Settings → API tokens and create a token. It is shown once; copy it then. It acts as you, in the workspace you made it in, and stops working if you leave it.
2. 2Add the server to your assistant. The endpoint is https://storiefied.com/api/mcp, with the header Authorization: Bearer <token>.
3. 3In Claude Code, one command does it: claude mcp add --transport http storiefied https://storiefied.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
4. 4Ask for a story. The assistant can list your footage, find and import stock video, and create a Film or a Book. What it makes stays a draft until you publish it.
