The canvas, Inspector and sections

The Workflow screen brings together everything you need to build a production line: the component library on the left, the canvas in the center, the selected node's settings on the right.

The areas of the screen


  1. Workflow panel: History, Download, Import, New workflow, Share with the project and Run all.
  2. Components: the node library, grouped by family: Source, Tools, Create, Edit, Export, Variables. See Component reference.
  3. Toolbar: zoom, undo, reorganize, sections and notes.
  4. Inspector: the selected node's settings and the list of sections.
  5. AI editing: describe a change, for example "add a 1:1 format", then Edit.


Add and connect nodes


  • Drag a component onto the canvas, or click it: it is added to the center.
  • When a node is selected, compatible components are highlighted and connect automatically.
  • Connect the nodes by dragging a link from a node's output (on the right) to the next node's input (on the left).


Set up a node in the Inspector


A selected video node and its settings in the Inspector


Click a node: its settings open in the Inspector. For a creation node, you find:


  • Prompt order: the order in which incoming prompts are combined;
  • the model, format, resolution, duration and sound, depending on the node;
  • Execution summary: a recap of what the node will produce.


Set up your nodes from left to right, starting from the sources: each node inherits what comes from upstream.


Organize the canvas in sections


A section groups several nodes, for example "Packshots" then "Format variations". Each section runs on its own with Run section: you validate one step without running the whole workflow again. The list of sections is shown in the Inspector.


Notes add a comment on the canvas, to explain a setting to your colleagues.


Glossary


  • Canvas: the space where you place and connect nodes.
  • Inspector: the settings panel for the selected node.
  • Section: a group of nodes that can be run at once.
