Using Checkpoints and Versions

Switch between different versions of your clips using conversation branches.

What Are Checkpoints?

Every time you send a message and the AI generates or modifies a clip, a checkpoint is automatically created. Checkpoints represent different points in your conversation history, each with its own version of the animation.

Think of it as a branching conversation — each edit request creates a new branch, and you can switch between branches to compare different versions.

How Checkpoints Work

Checkpoints are created automatically as you chat:

  • Each AI generation or edit creates a checkpoint
  • All versions are preserved — nothing is lost when you make changes
  • You can switch between any previous version at any time

Switching to a Previous Version

To go back to an earlier version:

  1. Find the checkpoint you want in the conversation history
  2. Click on it to switch to that version
  3. Your preview updates instantly to show that version's animation

Note: Switching versions doesn't delete anything. All branches are preserved, so you can freely switch back and forth between different versions to compare them.

When to Use Checkpoints

  • Experimenting with styles — Try a different look, then revert if you prefer the original
  • Recovering from mistakes — If a chat edit went wrong, go back to the previous version
  • Comparing versions — Switch between versions to decide which one works better

Tips

  • Check versions before starting over — Before re-generating from scratch, see if a previous version is closer to what you want
  • Use checkpoints as safety nets — Feel free to experiment knowing you can always go back
