Generating media

Images and video

Make images and video clips from words, references and start frames.

Images and video are made by nodes on a scene's canvas, or with I on the board.

Images

An image node makes an image from its words, the Canon entries it names, and any images wired into it as references.

  • Right-click an image and choose Image from this for a new node that starts from it, or More like this.
  • Edit… changes an existing image from a description.
  • New images are made in the story's aspect ratio.

Video

A video node makes a clip from its words and a start frame. Wire an image, or another node's image, into its start.

  • Right-click a video and choose Last frame as an image to continue the next clip from where this one ends.
  • A clip can be as long as the selected model allows. A shot longer than its clip holds the last frame.

Models

Each node can use a different model. The story's mode sets the default for new nodes: see Draft and Production. Some models offer a resolution or quality choice; higher costs more.

Out of date

A version is marked out of date when its inputs changed after it was made: its words, its notes, the images wired in, or the Canon entries it used. Picking another model doesn't make a version out of date. Generate again when you are ready; the old version stays.
