Workflows & One-Shot Recording
Record your final cut.
No editing required.
Crefiya is built around a simple idea: your take is your final cut. These diagrams show how to use the Spacebar, pause confidently, and let the Studio handle the rest.
Core Concept
The One-Shot Loop
Never start over. Hit Space to pause, do what you need, then resume. Everything stays in one continuous recording. No post-production stitching.

Pro tip: The recording is one continuous file. Pausing simply stops the capture temporarily — when you resume, it picks up exactly where you left off with no visible seam. You can pause as many times as you want.
During Recording
The Spacebar Lifestyle
The Spacebar is your superpower. It interrupts the recording without ending it, giving you a safe bubble to think, react, correct, and prepare.

Peace of mind: Every pause is invisible in the final video. You can be human — stumble, look things up, take breaks — and still deliver a polished recording.
Full Journey
From Idea to Final Video
Know when to use Studio Mode (creation & AI) and when to switch to Presenter Mode (recording & performance). The two modes work together.

When to use AI: Use the AI when you need a starting point — a script structure, a thumbnail idea, or a slide image. Use manual mode when you already know exactly what you want to say. You can mix both: generate a script, then edit it heavily by hand.

Safety Net
The Comfort Loop
Messed up a line? No problem. Pause, review the last segment, mark a cut point, and re-record just that piece. Crefiya keeps every segment safe until you finalize.
%%{init: {'theme': 'base', 'themeVariables': { 'primaryColor': '#ffffff', 'primaryTextColor': '#0f1c1e', 'primaryBorderColor': '#d4e5e3', 'lineColor': '#8aa3a8', 'secondaryColor': '#f7fbfa', 'tertiaryColor': '#f0f6f5', 'fontFamily': 'Inter, system-ui, sans-serif', 'fontSize': '14px' }}}%%

The cut point system: When you review audio during a pause, you can mark a timestamp where you want to cut. If you choose to restart, Crefiya knows exactly where to trim. Nothing is lost until you hit Stop & Save.
