The Media Studio builds ad creative on a canvas. Each node holds one part of the work, such as your brand, a product, an actor or a storyboard. Connecting nodes passes that work along, so every image or video is built from the same reusable, approved parts.
The nodes
| Node | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Brand Kit | Your logo, colors, tone of voice and brand language |
| Product | The item you’re advertising: photos, details and selling points |
| Cast | Reusable actors whose look and voice stay the same across ads |
| Clothes & Props | Outfits and objects, shown alone or on a linked actor |
| Locations | Reusable settings, with lighting and sound |
| Static Image Ad | Finished image ads built from your connected assets |
| Storyboard | The shot-by-shot plan and frames for a video |
| Scenes | Renders a storyboard into video |
| Brain | Plans, scripts and coordinates work across connected nodes |
| Upscale | Prepares an image or video for enlargement |
| Output | Creates exact placement sizes from a finished Static Image Ad |
Music, Text and Caption nodes are planned. You can place them on the canvas, but they have no settings yet.
Build a workflow
1. Start a board
Name the canvas so the concept or campaign is easy to find. Click New board for a blank canvas, or open Templates to load a saved one.
2. Add nodes
Click or drag nodes from the node list onto the canvas. Use Load media to bring in saved actors, products, locations and brand kits from your library.
3. Set up each node
Select a node to open its settings in the Node Inspector on the right.
4. Connect them
Drag from a node’s connection handle to the nodes that should use its work. A typical video flow is Brand Kit and Product → Cast, Clothes & Props and Locations → Storyboard → Scenes.
Tip: Build the reusable parts first (Brand Kit, Product, Cast, Locations) and save them to your library. Every new ad can then start from approved assets instead of generating them again.
Find your way around the canvas
- Zoom and fit moves around large workflows and brings every node into view.
- The mini map shows the whole canvas, so you can find nodes outside the visible area.
- Canvas tools include fit to view, snap to grid and select mode. Undo and redo are coming soon.
Save and reuse boards
Your working board is kept as a draft in your browser. To keep a copy you can reload, save it as a template.
- Save as template saves the current canvas under a new name, with all its nodes and connections.
- From the template list, you can load a template (this replaces the current canvas), overwrite it with the current canvas, or delete it.
Warning: New board clears every node and connection on the current board. Saved templates aren’t affected, so save the board as a template first if you want to keep it.
