Duplicate Projects

Create an independent copy of any project to reuse its content, structure, and organization. Perfect for creating variations, templates, or experimenting without affecting the original.

Before You Start​

  • You need access to the project you want to duplicate
  • The duplicated project will be created in the current workspace
  • All project content (scenes, assets, settings) will be copied

Duplicate from Projects List​

  1. Go to the Projects page
  2. Find the project you want to duplicate
  3. Click the menu (⋮) on the project card
  4. Select Duplicate
  5. Mito creates the copy and shows a success notification
  6. Click Open project in the notification to view your duplicate

Duplicate from Project Page​

When you're already working in a project:

  1. Click the Mito logo in the top-left corner
  2. Select Duplicate project
  3. Mito creates the copy and shows a success notification
  4. Click Open project in the notification to view your duplicate

What Gets Copied​

Your duplicated project includes:

  • Project structure — All scenes and their organization
  • Content — Scene narratives, visual descriptions, durations
  • Assets — Uploaded images, audio, and video files
  • Generated content — AI-generated images and videos
  • Canvas layouts — Asset positioning and organization
  • Settings — Project preferences and configurations

💡 Naming: Duplicated projects are automatically named "Copy of [Original Name]". You can rename them immediately after creation.

Use Cases​

Experiment safely Try major changes without affecting your original project

Create variations
Make versions for different clients, formats, or audiences

Build templates Duplicate successful project structures for future use

Version control Snapshot your project before major changes

Team workflows Give each team member their own copy to work independently

After Duplicating​

Once your project is duplicated:

  • Rename it for clarity using the project menu
  • Review content to ensure everything copied correctly
  • Make changes without worrying about the original
  • Share with team by inviting them to your workspace

Tips​

  • Duplicate early: Create copies before major changes
  • Use clear names: Help teammates understand project versions
  • Check your workspace: Ensure you're duplicating to the right location
  • Large projects: Projects with many assets may take a moment to duplicate

Limitations​

Projects can only be duplicated within the same workspace. To share a project across workspaces, consider:

  • Exporting the final video and starting fresh in the target workspace
  • Using templates for common project structures
