Nodes and connections
Build a small typed graph and diagnose incompatible or missing inputs.
Read the graph from source to target
A node can contain editable instructions, archived media, or a generated result. Lines carry a source output to a downstream input; the visible card is not necessarily a finished result.
- Create a Text node and an Image Generation node using the blank-canvas right-click menu and two left-click placements.
- Write a short visual brief in Text; plan to feed it into the Image node rather than copying disconnected prompts everywhere.
Connect compatible handles
Drag from the source handle on a node’s right edge to a compatible target handle on the next node’s left edge. Image has a Text input and a Reference image input, which serve different purposes.
- Drag Text output into Image’s Text input, then inspect the connecting line.
- For a visual reference, connect an uploaded Reference image to Image’s Reference image input instead.
A wire may still need reference selection
For Image and Video, connected material appears in an @ reference picker when it has a usable result. Explicit reference selection controls which connected items are passed on.
- After connecting a Reference image, select the Image node and open its @ reference media picker.
- Select the relevant thumbnail; if none appears, first check that the source has a valid image URL and the edge targets an image port.
Try a three-node example
For a product still, use Text for the brief, an uploaded Reference image for the product shape, and Image Generation for a new scene. Review the selected reference before running.
- Enter “blue ceramic cup on a warm wooden desk, side light” in Text and connect it to Image’s Text input.
- Connect the cup photo to Reference image, choose it in the picker, then review model and ratio and run Image.
Repair a broken handoff
Inputs are typed: Extract Frames only accepts a video-like source, while Image to Prompt expects an image. A video model switch may also change or remap available input ports.
- If a connection fails, compare the source media kind with the target port label instead of repeatedly dragging to the same spot.
- After changing a Video model, recheck its visible ports and @ selection; remove a wrong edge and reconnect to an allowed input.
A connected source with no successful output may not yet provide usable media to the next node.
