# Filmo action

> The step that runs any action of the catalogue. You pick the action; its inputs and outputs are those of the action.

## Behaviour

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Group in the editor | Action of the catalogue |
| Retries | A step is not retried. If it fails (a step error, an HTTP answer that is not 2xx…), the run ends as failed and is not retried on its own, unless the step sits inside a «Try» step, which catches the failure so the run goes on. Only failures of the engine itself are retried, up to 3 attempts with waits of 30 and 60 seconds, and the retry skips the steps already completed. |
| Repeated runs | Protected: running the same step again does not repeat its effect. |

The actions of the catalogue are listed in the [Actions](https://docs.filmo.io/workflows/reference/actions).
