Getting started

What Studio is

A node graph for AI generation and compositing, and how it differs from Generate and the Nuke plugin.

Studio is a node graph for making shots. Instead of one prompt box and one result, you place small operations on a canvas and wire them together: a prompt feeds a model, the model feeds a grade, the grade feeds a composite. Run the graph and every step executes in dependency order.

The point is control and repeatability. Once a graph works, you can change the prompt at the top and re-run the whole chain, or swap the model in the middle and keep everything else. Nothing is a one-shot result you have to rebuild by hand.

Studio, Generate, and the Nuke plugin

These three cover the same models from different angles, and it is worth knowing which one you want.

  • ·Generate is a single form: pick a model, type a prompt, get a result. Best when you want one image and no structure.
  • ·Studio is the graph. Best when a shot takes more than one step, when you want to reuse a setup, or when you want to composite, matte, or iterate over a set of inputs.
  • ·The Nuke plugin puts the same models inside Nuke as native nodes, so generation happens in the script you are already comping in. See the plugin docs.

Where the work happens

AI nodes run on our servers. Everything else runs in your browser: compositing, grading, matte work, text handling and organization, 38 nodes in all. That split is worth knowing because browser nodes are instant and repeatable, so most of your iteration should happen there.
