-
Sign in / create a local account
On first launch Mosael asks you to sign in or register a local account (data stays on your machine). You can also switch to a team server.
-
Configure model providers (for AI features)
Open Settings and use the AI Chat / AI Image / AI Video / AI Audio sections to "Add provider", pick a vendor and paste its API key. See Model connections.
-
Create a project, import or generate media
On Studio (the home page), choose New project and give it a name; it stays there, highlighted, until you open it. Drag local videos into the Media library, or ask the agent in AI Studio to generate assets from a description.
-
Edit on the timeline
On the Editor page, drag media onto tracks; polish the cut with transcript-driven deletions, ripple delete, speed changes, color grading, subtitles and voiceover, then export (see Editing & color, which has the full shortcut table).
-
Review and publish (optional)
On the Publish page, pick signed-in social accounts, set title/description/tags, review the video, destination and post, then submit. See Publishing.
You can start with planning instead of editing: collect a script in Notes, lay out references on a board, or rehearse a shot in 3D scenes. These steps do not require a cloud model connection.
After signing in, use Appearance to preview themes, backgrounds and Chinese/English fonts. Sign into platform accounts in Browser Pool before selecting them in Publish.
A few interface conventions#
- Icon-only buttons explain themselves on hover, with their shortcut keys where there is one (⌘ shows as Ctrl on Windows); when a button is greyed out, the hover hint says why — "Nothing to undo", "Open a web page first" and the like. Hover a truncated name to read it in full.
- Menu items are written out in full: long names wrap instead of losing half a sentence, and extra explanation sits on a lighter line under the name.
- The first line of an error is meant for people: what happened and what to do next; raw text such as errno or an address is under Details (expand it to select and copy) or in the hover hint — include it when you report a problem.
