Editing begins from a video draft in Library. The Library record establishes the draft identity and display metadata. That identity keys a collaborative editor document whose synchronized state contains the composition, layers, timing, media references, captions, and animation data.

The example draft in Library

​
Open a video draft

1

Sign in to Tessact

Open Tessact in a supported desktop browser and complete sign-in. Keep the browser at 100% page zoom during the first tour so the editor panels use their intended layout.
2

Choose the draft's workspace

Use the workspace switcher to choose the workspace that contains your draft. Library contents, collaboration presence, and draft access are scoped to the active workspace.
3

Open Library

Navigate to Library and locate your video draft. Use the visible title and thumbnail together when several drafts have similar names.
4

Open the draft

Open the draft and wait for the editor shell, media references, and timeline layers to load. The canvas may settle a moment after the surrounding controls because remote media is prepared separately.

​
Confirm the correct project loaded

Check three independent signals before editing: If the shell appears without content, do not begin adding replacement layers. First follow Editor loading diagnostics; an incomplete media load and an empty draft require different remedies.
A direct browser bookmark can return to the same draft, but Library remains the clearest way to verify the active workspace and project identity.

​
What loads with the draft

Opening the Library record joins its synchronized editing document. The record supplies identity and title metadata; the collaborative draft state supplies canvas dimensions and frame rate, ordered layers, active frame intervals, type-specific properties, parent and layout relationships, keyframe tracks, and media references. Playback evaluates that state at the current frame. Continue to the editor tour or make a guided first edit.
