Image and video presets
Save a reusable look, test it and bind it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Before you begin
You need a business workspace and owner or dashboard editor access. Presets separate the scene from its reusable visual or motion direction. Agents see the name and when-to-use line; generation applies the saved recipe without exposing it to the agent.
Create an image preset
- Open Studio → Image presets.
- Choose New preset.
- Choose Blank preset.
- Enter Name and When to use in your workspace's language.
- Describe the desired medium, lighting, colours, materials and mood.
- Add persistent reference images from Workspace or upload them on the preset form.
- Choose the platform default model or pin an enabled image model.
- Set the default aspect ratio and lock it if every run must use that ratio.
- Save the preset.
Write a positive description rather than negative instructions. Keep the recipe concise; beyond about 1,500 characters, the style field warns that models may summarize it.
An image preset using the platform default follows future default changes. A pinned model stays fixed.
Its catalog shows supported resolution, reference limits, privacy facts and estimated Sparks. Run references count toward the same model limit.
Create a video preset
- Open Studio → Video presets.
- Choose New video preset.
- Choose Blank video preset.
- Enter Name and When to use.
- Write camera, motion, pacing and sound direction in Prompt.
- Choose the model and supported duration, resolution, ratio, audio and frame rate.
- Add persistent reference images if the model supports them.
- Save the preset.
Video presets start with the platform default, then pin the saved model. Frames and references follow current capabilities. Ask the Assistant for model-specific help; review its English prompt before saving.
Test before binding
- Open the preset's page.
- Enter a scene prompt in its test panel.
- Check the resolved image prompt, when testing an image preset.
- Select supported output settings and run inputs.
- Review the estimated Sparks.
- Generate a test.
Resolved image prompts cost nothing to preview. Tests offer one to four separately charged variants and up to three run-only references within the model’s remaining allowance.
Higher resolutions can cost more. Results save in the preset’s Studio folder.
Bind to an agent or workflow
- Open the agent's Connections canvas.
- Open the presets drawer's image or video section.
- Connect the presets it should use.
- Select a default when connecting several image presets.
- Enable the image-preset requirement if off-brand output must fail.
Without image bindings, the agent can generate preset-less. One preset applies automatically; several let it choose by when-to-use lines, falling back to the default. A required but unresolved preset fails generation.
Generates with no preset at all
Everything comes out in that look, with no choice to make
It picks by reading each preset’s when-to-use line
In a workflow, select the preset inside the image step. Workflow image bindings also govern delegated agent steps; different steps can use different looks.
Rule — Connecting an agent's first video preset gives it the generateVideo tool; disconnecting the last removes it. Agent video always requires a bound preset. Account-attributed generation bills the shared pool.
Archive and restore
- Find the preset in Image presets or Video presets.
- Choose Archive from its actions menu to retire it.
- Enable Show archived to find retired presets.
- Choose Restore from the menu to reactivate one.
Presets are archived, not permanently deleted. Existing results retain their original recipe and folder name.
Archiving is refused if it would leave a target requiring an image preset without an active one. Archiving keeps bindings. Restoring reactivates those retained bindings; connections you removed need to be added again.
