Canvas
The Canvas is where a film is planned before anything renders. It is a node graph, not a folder: characters, locations, style frames and shots are cards, and the connections between them decide what each generation sees.
Node types
- Image reference — a character sheet, a location plate, a prop, or a style frame. Generated or uploaded.
- Audio reference — a voice or sound clip used as a reference.
- Video generation — an actual shot. This is the node that produces footage.
- Note — beats, dialogue, reminders. Never sent to a model.
- Section — a labelled area for grouping. Purely organisational.
Connections are what make consistency work
Connecting a character sheet to a shot means that character's appearance travels into the generation. That is the whole mechanism behind "the same person across every shot" — there is no hidden memory, just references you can see.
Connect a style frame the same way to keep a look consistent, and a location plate to keep a set consistent.
An edge to a node that already generated is locked: changing what a finished take was made from would make its record a lie.
References inside the prompt
References attached to a shot can be mentioned in the prompt by clicking their thumbnail, which inserts a mention at the cursor. That is how you say this character rather than describing them again.
Settings per shot
Each generation node carries its own model, resolution, ratio, length and seed. They are shown as compact chips under the prompt, and the credit estimate on the Generate button follows them immediately.
Storyboard
The dock at the bottom groups shots into scenes so a long canvas stays readable. Scenes are labels over the same nodes — moving a shot between scenes does not change what it references.
Working on mobile
On narrow screens the canvas plane is replaced by a list of nodes with an inspector. Reading, checking takes and starting generations all work; laying out the graph is a desktop job.
