FAQ

Video production questions

Common answers about production, suitable tasks, and local files.

Can Orkas directly create and edit videos?

Yes. Built-in VideoStudio can create designed motion graphics, analyze and edit footage, add captions and voice tracks, and assemble a reviewable video. Generated footage, avatars, semantic video edits, and speech synthesis may use configured providers and incur charges.

What video tasks fit best?

Product explainers, tutorials, product recordings, repurposed clips, reviewable highlights, captions, dubbing, localization, and mixed productions that combine supplied, generated, and composed segments.

Will my source files upload to Orkas servers?

Not by default. Orkas is local-first. Source files and project notes stay on your machine; connected models or tools process requests according to their own settings.

How does it keep the same person looking the same across shots?

The character's front portrait is generated once and then locked as an anchor and never regenerated. Each later shot picks its references by rule: a recent frame from the same camera angle first, then an older frame, then the portrait alone. Motion is described by visible features rather than by name, because the model conditions on pixels and not on labels. If the presenter is a real person, upload their photo and it becomes the anchor directly, skipping generation for that character.

How do I know what a generated shot will cost before it runs?

Before any billable generation it states the exact shot and character count along with a credit quote, then waits for your approval, and never fans out silently. The default scope is six generated shots and three characters per video, and anything beyond that has to be proposed and approved first. It also avoids spend you do not need: a shot whose start and end look nearly the same gets one keyframe instead of two, and a call that was never sent to the provider is not charged.
