Finding and filing photos

Upload adds a photo or clip; Generate makes an image or a clip with the model you pick. The top chips filter by source, the folder chips by folder. Hover a photo and click ⁝ to move it into a folder.

Find a photo

  1. Filter by source

    Click a chip in the top row: Chat, Errand, Scouting, Location, Generated or Unattached. All clears it.

  2. Filter by folder

    Click a chip in the Folders row. Unfiled shows only what isn’t in a folder. Each folder chip ends with how many items it holds.

  3. Open it

    Click a photo to see it full size, with its caption under it. Use the arrows or the Left and Right keys to move through the grid, and Escape to close. Clips have a play mark on the tile.

Add and file

  1. Add a photo or clip

    Click Upload and pick a file. On a phone’s browser you can take the picture there and then. Photos are shrunk before they upload.

  2. Make a folder

    Click New folder on the Folders row, type a name like “Continuity”, then click Create.

  3. Move a photo into it

    Hover over a photo and click ⁝ in its top left corner. Pick the folder in Move to folder. The folder’s name then shows on the tile.

Make an image

  1. Open Generate

    Click Generate. It needs Art edit access on the project, and it spends your own credits.

  2. Pick a model and write the prompt

    Choose any image or upscale model, write what you want, and pick the shape. Add photos from Media as references if you like. The line under the button says what it will cost.

  3. Try again without losing it

    Open the image and click Versions. Iterate runs it again with the same settings for you to change, and every run is kept as a new version. Make current picks the one the grid shows.

Make a clip

  1. Pick a video model

    In Generate, pick a model from the Video group. A greyed-out one has no price yet and can’t be run.

  2. Set the length and frames

    Pick how many seconds it runs. If the model takes them, pick a start frame and an end frame from Media, and turn Sound on or off.

  3. Check the cost

    Most video models charge by the second, so a longer clip costs more. Most runs cost over 100 credits, and you’re asked before it spends them.

The clip lands in the grid with its length on the tile. Versions plays each one.

Hover a photo and click ✕ to delete it. You’re asked first, and it can’t be undone.

Media is for reference on set. It isn’t footage you can edit with. That comes from Takes and CinemaCutter’s own bin.
