ChatCut may pause before Motion Graphics, Video Generation, or Image Generation and show a confirmation card in the AI conversation. Review the proposed action, references, and credit estimate before deciding.

## Respond to a confirmation

-   Select **Allow** to approve this generation once.
-   Select the displayed **Allow all …** option to approve later matching generations within the scope written on the card.
-   Select **Deny** to stop this proposed generation.
-   Use the adjustment field when the card offers one and the request should change before it runs.

The scope is part of the visible label. Current project-scoped options apply only to that project. A Motion Graphics option may be labeled as applying across projects; Agent Settings marks an all-project preference as **Global**.

Approving a generation does not guarantee completion. The feature still checks plan access, inputs, safety rules, and available credits before or during the request.

## Change Auto-Allow later

To change a saved approval choice, open **Agent settings → Generation Auto-Allow**. The Motion Graphics, Video Generation, and Image Generation switches are independent. See [Agent Settings](https://pr-619-preview.chatcut.dev/docs/agent-settings) for the setting behavior.

## If the card disappeared

The card may already have been allowed or denied, cancelled when the task stopped, or expired while waiting. Check the conversation and **My Assets** before retrying so you do not submit a duplicate generation.

If no job started and you still want the generation, send the request again. If the original job is visible in **My Assets**, monitor that job instead of creating another one.

## Confirmation failed in an external agent

If your agent reports **Generation confirmation failed** or **Method not found** during generation confirmation, keep the original request, project, and settings. A failed or missing confirmation does not establish whether a generation task was created. Do not automatically send the generation again.

Check the conversation and **My Assets** for the original task or output. If its status is unclear, use [Contact](https://pr-619-preview.chatcut.dev/docs/contact) with the exact error, the agent app and ChatCut versions, the approximate time, and any request or task ID already shown. Include what you already tried; leave out access tokens, passwords, and full configuration files. If you already reported these details, continue with that report rather than submitting the generation again.

## Verify the final charge

The value shown before generation is an estimate. After the action completes, open **avatar → Credits history → Detail** to inspect the individual transaction and resulting balance. Failed or cancelled work should be checked from the same history rather than inferred from the confirmation card.

For current generation rates and what creates a charge, see [Generation Credits](https://pr-619-preview.chatcut.dev/docs/generation-credits).
