Example workflows

The Flow Prompt Bar

Create from a prompt—or use media already on your canvas.

The main bar at the bottom of Flow: choose Image or Video, write a prompt, attach references and check the output settings.

You can generate directly from this bar without building a node first. The result becomes a node on your canvas.

Develop the wording first

Choose Writing Assistant to turn a rough idea into a prompt. Review its suggestion and settings, then choose Apply Changes to return them to the main bar.

After applying: the suggested prompt, one model and landscape framing are ready to review. Nothing has generated yet.

Applying does not run your existing nodes or create a result. Check the references and estimate before using the arrow. See the assistant panel →

Use a canvas image

Choose Ref image, then click the image node you want to use. Flow highlights compatible media while Selecting on canvas is active. The chosen image becomes a chip in the bar.

Ref image selects from the canvas itself. Click the image you want to use.

Need a file that is not on the canvas? Type @ and choose Upload new image…. The same menu offers Select asset on canvas….

Describe the change

Type @ and choose the attached image to insert its chip. Here, the reference supplies the cup while the prompt changes its setting.

Keep the exact blue cup from @Image1. Replace the coastal background with a softly lit, warm ivory studio wall. Keep the cup shape and blue glaze, add a natural shadow on pale stone, and leave generous space to the left. Premium product photograph, no text.

Choose Nano Banana 2, 16:9 and your payment option. Review the estimate, then press the arrow. This example generated one image.

The bar's Credits / API-key selector is separate from Run nodes with at the top of Flow.

Find the result on the canvas

Flow creates a new Image node connected to the reference node. The source stays in place, so you can use it again or connect the new result to another step.

The completed studio edit from the main Prompt Bar. The original coastal scene remains a separate source node.

Download the original image

Choose video inputs

Switch to Video and choose a model. Here are two input setups for Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash.

Prepared draft: terracotta at the start, ivory at the end. Not a generated transition.

Choose 1st frame, then click the starting image on the canvas. Choose Last frame and click the ending image. Describe the motion or transition between them.

A last frame needs a first frame. If you only want to animate one image, attach just 1st frame. See a completed image-to-video example →

Use one setup at a time: frames, or image/video references. Remove a chip with ×, or choose Clear refs, before switching. Available roles and limits depend on the model. Adding a reference does not generate anything; review the prompt, settings and estimate before pressing the arrow.

On a narrow screen, scroll the reference row sideways to reach more roles.

Main bar or node controls?

  • Main Prompt Bar: starts a new output on the canvas, using the references shown in its chips.
  • A node's controls: configure or rerun that particular step.

Check the attached chips before generating. Remove one with its ×, or use Clear refs to start without those attachments. Switch to Video for video-specific models and settings; supported reference roles depend on the selected model.
