Canvas — direct the whole piece in one place.

Lay out prompts, references and results side by side, then chain them into scenes.

Canvas is arranged on a computer. On your phone, open your canvases or start a short film.

Lay out shots on one canvas, turn any frame into a video and keep every take linked. Uncensored models, no platform filter, pay per result.

What the canvas is for

A feed works for one idea at a time. A short piece with several shots needs a table where every shot is in view, so you can move them around and keep the takes that work.

Each take stays joined to the frame it came from by a thin line, so you can trace how a shot was made and branch again from any point.

It runs on the same models as the rest of the studio, uncensored ones included, with no platform filter on your prompts and the price on every button.

How the canvas works

  1. 01

    Drop a card

    Double-click anywhere on the canvas, write one line and press Generate. The price is on the button before it runs.

  2. 02

    Branch from any frame

    Select a result and choose Animate, Edit or More like this. The new take lands beside it, joined to its source by a thin line.

  3. 03

    Group shots into a scene

    Select a row of shots, group them into a scene, then open Storyboard to play them through in order.

Open a new canvasOr start one shot in the studio

What each part does

Nothing on the canvas costs anything until you press Generate and see the price.

  • Prompt cards

    An Image or Video prompt holds one line of text, the model (Auto or your pick), the aspect ratio, the duration and an optional look.

  • Results and takes

    Each run lands as a numbered take beside the card that made it, so versions of a shot sit together.

  • Branching from a frame

    Select a still for Make video, Edit or More like this, or a clip for Run again or Last frame → image. New cards stay linked to their source.

  • References

    Drag the + on any picture onto a prompt card. The card shows how many references its model takes; a clip needs its last frame pulled first.

  • Scenes

    Group cards into a named scene. Generate scene runs every prompt inside it after you confirm one total.

  • Storyboard

    Shows each scene shot by shot with its length. Play scene runs the shots back to back; Export strip saves them as one image.

  • Sources

    Drag in results from History, templates, preset effects, styles and inspiration, or tap to drop them in the middle.

  • Notes

    Shot lists, dialogue or reminders that sit beside the shots and are never sent to a model.

Two ways to build a short piece

Both use only what is on the canvas today.

One still, three shots

  1. 01Add an Image prompt, write your subject and pick a look. Every look is also browsable in Styles.
  2. 02Keep the frame you like and choose More like this for a few variations of it.
  3. 03Select the three strongest stills and press Make videos. They run on the same models as Image to Video, and you confirm the total first.
  4. 04With the clips selected, choose Group into scene.
  5. 05Open Storyboard, play the scene through, and use Export strip to share the shot order.

A longer take, shot by shot

  1. 01Add a Video prompt and write the opening shot, or drag in a preset move from Sources. The same moves are listed under Effects.
  2. 02When the clip is in, choose Last frame → image on it.
  3. 03Drag the + on that frame into a new Video prompt and write what happens next. The new take starts where the last one ended.
  4. 04Repeat for each beat of the scene.
  5. 05Group the takes into a scene and play it in Storyboard. Download the clips to join them in your editor.

Canvas, one generator page or a stack of tools

The models and prices are the same across the studio. What changes is how much of the piece you can see and steer at once.

Prompt starters

Three video templates with their default subject filled in. Paste one into a Video prompt, or drag the template in from Sources and change who is in it.

  • Half Orbit

    A smooth half-circle on a golden rooftop.

    the camera sweeps a smooth half-circle around an adult man in a tailored navy suit on a rooftop at golden hour, the city skyline sliding behind, warm backlight, steady cinematic motion

  • Slow Push-In

    A steady push toward the subject at dusk.

    a slow, steady push-in toward an adult woman in a long camel coat standing in a quiet gallery at dusk, soft window light, shallow depth of field, cinematic stillness

  • Behind Rainy Glass

    Droplets race down while the city glows.

    seen through a rain-streaked window at night, droplets racing down the glass while an adult woman with a short bob in a grey knit sweater watches the city lights, soft bokeh, slow focus shift

Longer than one take

A single take is as long as the model allows; the longest in the studio's video line-up today is 30 seconds, on Seedance 2.5 Spicy. Past that, pull the clip's last frame, use it as the reference for the next Video prompt and keep going. A scene plays the takes back to back.

What runs on the canvas

Auto starts from these defaults; any prompt card can switch to another model.
