# Creative Canvas

Creative Canvas is a board for generating image, video, and audio side by side, wiring the output of one generation into the input of another. Compose sits inside the canvas as a separate studio for assembling those results into an image composite, a storyboard, or an edited video.

## The three editors

Compose has three editors, switched from one tab strip:

- **Image** combines generated and uploaded images into a single composite — layers, crop, and a logo overlay.
- **Storyboard** chains a sequence of generated clips, each with its own prompt, so you can review and regenerate one panel without redoing the rest.
- **Video** is a timeline editor for arranging clips, text, and audio into an edited video.

## From storyboard to timeline

Once a storyboard panel has a generated result you like, send it to the Video editor's timeline. Each panel becomes a clip in sequence, in the order it appears in the storyboard. From there, trim, reorder, and add text or music on the timeline.

## Export

Video exports to MP4 from the browser. Export runs one at a time — start a second export and the first one must finish or be cancelled first. You can also export the current frame as a PNG, or export the edit as JSON.

MP4 export needs a browser with `VideoEncoder` support: Chrome and Edge are supported. Safari can hang partway through an export; if that happens, switch to Chrome or Edge.

## Credits and cost preview

Each generation shows its credit cost before you run it, so you know the price before you spend it. You're only charged when a result actually arrives — a failed or timed-out generation costs nothing.

## Limits

- A canvas document is capped at 8 MB. Large documents come from many generations or large uploads — remove ones you no longer need to stay under the cap.
- One export runs at a time per editor.
