Organize Projects Using Folders and Subfolders

Organize Projects Using Folders and Subfolders

When you process a video in Zenious, it is saved as a project. You can open a project to edit it, export the final video, translate it into other languages, or generate an article. As you create more projects, organizing them into folders helps you manage and locate your work efficiently.


Zenious allows you to create folders and subfolders, move projects between them, and remove projects from folders when needed.

In this article, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create folders and subfolders to organize your projects

  • Move projects between folders and subfolders

  • Identify and use the Unassigned folder

  • Remove projects from folders when needed
