Drafts, publishing and sharing · Autessa Video Creator
Private drafts and publishing
Autessa Video Creator saves every recording as a private draft. When it is ready, press Publish: the video becomes public, its share link is created and copied to your clipboard in one click. Until then, the public viewer will not play it for anyone.
The problem
Recording and sending should be two separate decisions
In many recorders a link exists the moment you stop recording, and it is easy to paste the wrong take. Video Creator separates the two: record and review in private, then publish on purpose.
What you get
- Every saved recording starts as a Draft, shown with an amber lock badge.
- Publish flips it to Published, shown with a blue globe badge, and copies the share link.
- Publishing is instant: there is no export, because your edits are applied at playback.
- Drafts are visible only to you and to anyone you share them with by email.
- If the public viewer is not set up yet, Video Creator says so and links to Settings instead of making a link that will not work.
How it works
How does private drafts and publishing work in Autessa Video Creator?
Step 1. Save draft
After review, the video saves as a private draft and its page opens.
Step 2. Check it
Watch it back in the app’s player, with your trim and crop applied.
Step 3. Publish
Press Publish under “Ready to share?”. The link is copied to your clipboard.
Step 4. Send it
Paste the link anywhere. The video page now shows the Share link panel with a Copy button.
