Getting started

Create your channel style

Create a style one of two ways: analyze reference material into a style of your own, or pick from the curated presets — one path or the other, not both. Either way, a style is finished only once its two template images are in place: a square character template and a landscape environment template. Every reference image in your projects renders against those two anchors.

Path 1 — Analyze references

Give the analyzer up to 12 references — images, YouTube links, and text snippets, in any mix — and it reverse-engineers them into editable style fields. YouTube references are validated for total length when you submit.

Each reference can be scoped to what it should teach: tag it to the art, narrative, or director fields, or leave it untagged to inform all of them. Details on what analysis produces are in Analyze reference videos into a style, and the style analysis page shows the feature in action.

Path 2 — Pick presets

Pick one preset per axis — an art style, a narrative style, and a director style — and the style is assembled instantly from complete, pre-written field text. Preset styles also ship with pre-rendered character and environment template images that are cloned in at creation, so a preset style is usable right away. The full catalog is in Choose style presets.

Finish the template images

The two template images are the style's visual anchors — the character template is square, the environment template is landscape, and a style is not finished until both are rendered. For each template you can:

• ·Generate it — with a model picker and an editable prompt, so you can steer the result and regenerate until it is right.
• ·Upload your own image — use existing channel art as the anchor instead of generating one.
• ·Clear it — remove the current image and start over.

Once both templates exist, projects in the channel can start generating: the next step is your first video, end to end.
