Canvas Overview

Flow Studio is the main workspace. It combines project management, node editing, generation, templates, actors, and the Lookie assistant in one screen.

Main areas of the canvas

Top bar

The top bar is used for project-level actions:

rename the current project
switch projects
create a new project
check or buy credits
open Lookie
toggle theme
save the current canvas as a template (admin-only where enabled)
open the profile menu

Left action dock

The left dock gives quick access to:

generations gallery
templates
actors
select mode
hand mode
zoom in / zoom out
delete selected nodes

The bottom toolbar is where you add new nodes.

Primary nodes are available directly, including:

image generation
video generation
audio
music generation
text input
upload
composer
video editor
output

The Advanced dropdown gives access to transform and overlay tools.

Main canvas area

This is the working area where you:

place nodes
connect handles
select and move steps
run and inspect outputs

Right panel: Lookie

Lookie is the built-in assistant. It opens from the top bar and helps you understand or build flows directly inside the canvas.

Keyboard shortcuts

The most important built-in shortcuts are:

V for select mode
H for hand mode
Delete or Backspace to remove selected nodes

Interaction modes

Select mode

Use select mode to:

click nodes
drag-select multiple nodes
edit flow structure

Hand mode

Use hand mode when you want to:

pan the canvas quickly
move around large flows

How outputs appear

When a node finishes:

the output is attached to that node
downstream nodes can consume that output if connected
gallery and actor/template flows can also create upload-ready nodes from chosen assets

Best practices

Start simple and build one working path first.
Use templates when you need a faster starting point.
Add transforms only after your base generation path works.
Keep flows readable by spacing nodes logically from left to right.
