Connect prompts, models, and media into a visual workflow.

Build a workflow you can read: a reusable brief connects to a completed image, with its model, instructions and quick actions in view.

Open **Flow** from Home and create a flow or open an existing project.

## The canvas, at a glance

* **Nodes** hold prompts, source media, and generated outputs.
* **Connections** carry an output into another node's input.
* **[Prompt Bar](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/prompt-bar)** starts an image or video from a written idea or canvas reference.
* **Actions** shows tools for the selected node.
* **Chat** opens the Flow Agent.

Use **Fit view** to bring the workflow into view. **Pan** moves around the canvas; **Select** lets you work with nodes.

[Nodes & connections](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/nodes-and-connections)What each node does, where inputs go, and which steps run.
[Brief → product image](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/brief-to-image)Make the two-node workflow shown above.
[Explore with Sets](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/sets)Keep the product consistent while comparing several treatments.
[Groups & run order](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/groups-and-runs)Organize related steps and preview a selected run.

## Start small, then connect the next step

Make one image first. Select its node and choose **To Video** in **Actions**. Flow adds a connected video node with the image as its first frame.

Choose the video model and describe the movement before running it.

Need a voiceover too? [Turn a script into narration](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/text-to-audio) with a separate Audio node.

For a product layout, [remove an image's background](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/remove-background) and keep a transparent cutout alongside the original.

Follow the same image-to-video workflow, with the real source and finished clip.

## Run only the part you need

The arrow beside **Run** shows the scope and estimate before you start.

For this video node: 5 credits for the video alone, or 6 credits to regenerate the image and video together.

**Run from here** includes the current node and its downstream runnable steps. **Run till here** includes the current node and the runnable steps leading into it.

Estimates depend on the models and settings in your workflow.

## Ask Flow Agent for a proposal

Open **Chat** on the canvas. Name the source and describe the change you want. A **Suggested Generation** is a proposal to review—not an output that has already been made.

A real video-edit proposal before approval: source video, prompt, model, ratio, output count and length.

Check the prompt and every setting before choosing the generation action. **Dismiss** closes the proposal without generating it.

Video-edit approval selected a different model and failed in our latest check. For this workflow, use the [manual video-edit steps](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/edit-video) and check the model on the actual node. The proposal above is not a successful-generation example.
