Two ways to work
Simple mode (the default) is one panel per job, with tabs along the top: Image, Video, Story and Edit. Your gallery sits beside it. Most people never need anything else.
Node mode is a canvas where you wire steps together into your own pipeline: a prompt into an image, that image into a video, several clips into an edit. Switch with the Simple / Node toggle at the top of the app. What you make in one mode is there in the other. See Node mode.
Your first image
- Open the Image tab.
- Describe what you want. Be concrete: the subject, where it is, the light, the style (“a red fox asleep in fresh snow at dawn, soft pink light, 35mm photo”).
- Leave the model as it is for now, or pick another; each one shows its price before you run it.
- Press Generate. A bar under the button shows progress, and the image lands in your gallery.
The gallery
- Everything you make is saved there, newest first. Click an image to see it full screen.
- Info (the i button) shows the model, size, date and the prompt it was made with. Reuse prompt puts that prompt back in the panel.
- Download any image or video as it is, or images as JPEG. Select several to download a ZIP.
- Drag an image from the gallery onto a panel to use it: as a reference, a start frame, a storyboard frame or a location.
What things cost
Every run costs credits, and the price is on the button before you press it. Images cost hundreds of credits, video clips a few thousand. The free plan gives you 50,000 credits a month, up to 15,000 a day. The credit counter at the top right shows what you have left today. If a run fails, its credits come back. See Credits and plans.
Help while you work
The ? at the top of each panel opens the guide page for what you're doing, in a new tab. The book icon in the header opens the whole guide.
