# Project list

> The Slicer home screen, Projects — a new project, search, sorting and the status filter, project cards, statuses and the action menu.

Source: https://docs.slicer.media/en/guide/projects/

**Projects** is the Slicer home screen. All your reels are here: finished ones, those being edited right now and those that failed. A new reel starts here too.

**Demo (iPhone):**

1. Projects: the title, the “New project” button, the search, sort and status bar
2. Tap the round search button and type “morning” — the list is filtered
3. Tap “Newest” — the Sort sheet, pick “Longest first”
4. Tap “All” — the Project status sheet, pick “Ready”
5. Long-press a card — the project menu

**Demo (Web):**

1. Wide screen: the sidebar on the left, projects as a grid of 9:16 covers
2. Right-click a cover — the project menu in the middle of the screen

## New project

The **New project** button at the top opens the **How shall we edit it?** screen: **With the AI director** — a full-screen three-step wizard, or **Edit it myself** — a free project that opens straight in the editor ([Project without AI](https://docs.slicer.media/en/guide/projects/manual/)). If the free first reel is still available, the button says **Your first reel is free** underneath. How to go through the wizard — in the [tutorial](https://docs.slicer.media/en/guide/tutorial/style/).

While there are no projects, the list shows the hint **Your first project in three steps**.

## Search, sorting and status

Above the list is a bar with three buttons:

-   **Search** — the round magnifier button expands into a **Search by title** field. The cross or `Esc` closes the search.
-   **Sorting** — **Newest first**, **Oldest first**, **By title**, **Longest first**. The button shows a short name: **Newest**, **Oldest**, **Longest**.
-   **Status** — **All**, **Ready**, **Drafts**, **In progress**, **Failed**.

The choice opens in a sheet. If nothing matches, you will see **Nothing found — change the filter or the search.**

## Project card

A card shows the cover with the duration, the title, the stage or status and the creation date:

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Queued** | the montage is waiting for its turn on the server |
| **Editing** | work is in progress; instead of the status — the current stage and a progress bar |
| **Ready** | the reel is assembled, you can edit and export it |
| **Draft** | an Edit it myself project that hasn't been exported yet |
| **Failed** | the montage failed — the card shows the reason and, if tokens were reserved, **Tokens refunded** |
| **Cancelled** | the montage was stopped |

The **Watermarked** label marks the free reel until you buy a pack.

Tap a card to open the project: a finished one and a draft open in the **Editor** section, others — in **Media**. More — [Project: media, settings, editor](https://docs.slicer.media/en/guide/projects/project/).

## Project menu

**Web**

Right-click a card, or long-press it on a touch screen.

**iPhone and iPad**

Long-press a card.

The menu has:

-   **Open** — open the project;
-   **Editor** — straight to the editor (for a finished project while the sources are kept);
-   **Download** (in the app — **Save**) and **Share** — for a finished reel (a draft doesn't have them until it's exported);
-   **Delete project** — after confirmation the reel and its media are deleted for good.

## Wide screen

From 960 px (a computer, an iPad in landscape, a window on a Mac), a sidebar on the left replaces the header and the bottom tabs, and projects are shown as a grid of 9:16 covers. Sheets open as a dialog in the middle.
