Account Settings BETA
What the current beta exposes for your account — email/password sign-in and sign-out — and which settings (profile, password reset, email change, deletion) are still planned.
This article covers behavior that isn't fully confirmed in the current product, or a feature that is planned but not yet live. Treat it as provisional.
#Overview
This article documents what account management looks like in the current HeyMotion beta — honestly, including what isn't there yet. Today the account surface is deliberately small: it handles signing in and signing out with an email and password, and that's it. The broader "settings" experience you might expect — a profile page, password reset, email change, account deletion — is planned but not yet in the app.
This page is marked as a draft because most of what a full "Account Settings" screen would cover is still on the roadmap. It's published so the gaps are documented clearly, not so it can describe features that don't exist.
#What you can do today
In the 👤 Account panel inside the edit panel, the beta exposes exactly two actions:
| Action | Status | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Sign in (email + password) | Available | 👤 Account panel |
| Sign out | Available | 👤 Account panel |
When you're signed in, your brand kit syncs to the cloud and you can save presets. The full walkthrough for both actions lives in Sign In and Sign Out.
#What's planned
The following are not in the shipping app yet. Don't expect to find controls for them in the current beta.
- Profile settings — a place to view and edit account details such as a display name.
- Password reset — recovering or changing a forgotten or old password.
- Change email — moving your account to a different email address.
- Account deletion — self-service removal of your account and its data.
#How to make account changes in the meantime
Until these settings ship, the way to change anything about your account is to ask us directly. Email support@heymotion.io — or use the steps in Contact Support — and describe what you need (for example, a password reset or an email change). We'll handle it manually during the beta.
#A note on your data
Because export is 100% in-browser (WebCodecs + a virtual-time clock). Nothing is uploaded to a server to export. the videos you make never touch a server tied to your account. The only things stored to your account are your brand kit and your saved presets. If you'd like an overview of exactly what is and isn't stored, see Privacy and File Processing.
#Common Mistakes
The main pitfall is hunting for a "forgot password" or "delete account" button and assuming you've missed it — those controls simply aren't in the beta yet. Contact support for anything beyond sign-in and sign-out.
