Canvas
The Canvas is an advanced workspace where users can design AI-driven workflows. Unlike traditional editing tools, the Canvas enables users to link different AI models, utilities, and assets in a node-based system, making it a flexible and powerful environment for content creation.
How It Works
The Canvas is a freeform, node-based interface that allows users to visually organize their AI-powered workflows. Users can connect various nodes (representing AI models, utilities, and assets) to define custom generative pipelines.
Key Features
1. Nodes & Connections
- Nodes – Each node represents an AI model, an asset-loading tool, or a utility.
- Connections – Users can link nodes by dragging connection lines, defining how information flows between them.
- Input & Output Handles – Nodes feature handles that specify how elements interact with each other.
2. Workflow Execution
- Run Individual Nodes – Execute nodes one by one by clicking the Run button on each node.
- Real-Time Editing – Modify parameters and re-run nodes to fine-tune results.
3. Node Types
- Generation Nodes – AI models that create new images, videos, or audio based on inputs.
- Utility Nodes – Enable users to connect outputs or perform basic editing tasks like overlaying audio on top of a video.
- Loading Nodes – Nodes such as Load Image, Load Video, and Load Audio allow users to upload their own content directly into the workflow.
4. Collaboration & Workflow Management
- Automatic Saving – Workflows are automatically saved in the background.
- Live Collaboration – Users on the Enterprise Plan can collaborate in real time on the same workflow.
Best Practices
- Use Auto-Layout – Automatically organize your workflow for better readability.
- Keep Workflows Modular – Break complex workflows into smaller, reusable segments.
- Use Labels & Groupings – Organize nodes logically for clarity.
- Try Different Models – Experiment with different AI models to find the best fit for your needs.
Getting Started
- Click the Canvas button in the left sidebar to start a new canvas, or click Canvas Workflows to view existing workflows.
- Add nodes by dragging them onto the canvas from the node library.
- Connect nodes by linking output handles to input handles.
- Adjust parameters to achieve desired outputs, then click Run on a node to process it.
The Canvas provides a powerful, flexible, and intuitive interface for building AI-driven creative workflows, enabling users to create, refine, and iterate on content generation with unprecedented control.
