Comprehensive FAQ

Common questions about PlacidPlan, guests, payouts, and migration.

1. What is PlacidPlan and how does it work?

PlacidPlan is an all-in-one workspace built for content creators, video editors, YouTube channels, and creative agencies. You plan videos and campaigns as cards on Kanban Project Boards, review cuts with frame-accurate comments and on-frame drawings in the Client Portal, chat with your team in real time, store raw media in PlacidDrive, automate tasks with PlacidAI, and pay freelancers in one click with 0% platform fee.

2. Do my clients or freelance contractors count as paid workspace members?

No. Clients and guest freelancers never count as paid workspace members on any PlacidPlan tier. Clients open a passwordless Client Portal link to watch cuts, draw annotations, sign contracts, and pay invoices for free. Freelancers can be invited as free guests to view assigned cards, upload deliverables, and receive 0% fee payouts.

3. How does the 2 months free annual billing discount work?

When you choose annual billing, you pay for 10 months and get 12 full months of access—saving the equivalent of two full months. Solo is $120/year ($10/mo equivalent), Creator is $240/year ($20/mo equivalent), and Studio is $490/year ($40.83/mo equivalent).

4. How does video review and approval work in PlacidPlan?

Upload any video cut, thumbnail, or design asset directly to a Project Board card. Reviewers can click any frame to leave a timestamped comment, draw arrows or shapes directly on the video frame, compare v1, v2, and v3 side by side, and approve the final cut in one click.

5. How do freelancer payouts and auto-generated invoices work?

When a freelancer's assigned deliverable card is approved, PlacidPlan automatically generates an itemized invoice and queues their payout. You can pay all approved freelancers across your team in a single batch click with 0% platform fee.

6. What can PlacidAI and the MCP server (placidplan.com/mcp) do?

PlacidAI understands your boards, tasks, and deadlines to draft scripts, summarize review notes, and generate voiceovers, music, sound effects, images, and video clips inside your cards. Developers and studio leads can also connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to placidplan.com/mcp to manage boards and trigger AI tools via natural language.

7. Can I import my existing boards from Trello, Asana, ClickUp, or Notion?

Yes. PlacidPlan includes one-click migration tools to import your boards, tasks, templates, and docs from Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, and Notion, plus two-way sync with Google Drive, Google Calendar, and YouTube.

8. What happens when I finish a project on the Solo plan?

The Solo plan includes 5 active clients and 10 active projects at a time. When a campaign wraps, you can archive completed projects or inactive clients in one click to free up your active slots while keeping their past invoices and signed contracts safely stored.
