Asset Manager

Every file in your account in one place: see which project uses it, check your storage, recover deleted files and clear out what you no longer need.

What the Asset Manager is for

The Assets page works on one video at a time: it is where you put pictures and clips into scenes. The Asset Manager (sidebar → Library) looks at your whole account instead. It lists every image, video, audio file, reference, thumbnail and export you own, across all projects, and helps you keep storage tidy without breaking a video you are working on.

Overview

  • Storage at a glance — how many assets you have, how much space they use, how many are linked to a project, how many belong to none, and how much is waiting in Trash.
  • By type and by project — see which kinds of file and which projects take the most space. Click any bar to open those assets.
  • Largest assets, last cleanup and next scheduled cleanup — so surprises are easy to spot.
Space in Trash still counts as used until you delete it permanently. Flow shows the amount it has confirmed as freed separately from estimates.

Finding and inspecting assets

  1. Open All Assets. Search by name, project, script, scene number, provider or model.
  2. Narrow the list with the filters: type, source (generated, imported or sourced), project or Unassigned, whether it is in use, size and date. Sort by newest, oldest, largest or name.
  3. Switch between Grid and List. Click an asset to open its details.

The details panel shows a preview, the file type and size, where it came from, which project, script and scene it belongs to, and whether it is Protected. A protected asset is used by something in a project, and the panel tells you exactly what, for example the scene it is assigned to.

Use Unassigned to find files that belong to no project. They are the safest place to start when you want space back.

Trash, restore and permanent deletion

  1. Select assets and choose Move to Trash. The files are kept, so you can change your mind.
  2. Anything a project still uses is skipped, and you are told which assets were kept and why. Nothing is removed from a video behind your back.
  3. Open Trash to Restore assets, or Delete permanently to free their space. Empty Trash shows what will be removed and how much space it frees before you confirm.
Permanent deletion cannot be undone. If a file cannot be removed right now, it stays in Trash so you can try again; Flow never reports space as freed until the file is really gone.

Cleanup schedules

A schedule tidies your account automatically, even when you are signed out. It only ever touches your own assets and always skips anything in use.

  • When — once, weekly, monthly or daily, at a time you choose in your own time zone.
  • What — unused assets, or assets that have been in Trash long enough. Narrow it to the types of file you choose and an age.
  • Action — move to Trash (the default) or delete from Trash permanently. Permanent deletion always waits for a recovery period you set; 30 days is a good start.
  • Preview shows what a schedule would do right now before you rely on it. Dry run records the result without changing anything, and Ask me to approve pauses each run until you confirm.
  • Run now, Pause and Edit are on every schedule card.

History

History lists everything done to your assets: moves to Trash, restores, permanent deletions and scheduled runs, with how many assets were processed, how many were kept because they were in use, anything that failed, and the space freed. Open an entry for the detail.
