Create Your First Canvas

What this page covers

A canvas project is one workspace for one idea, test, or workflow. It stores the nodes on the canvas, uploaded files, generated media, saved assets, and recent results connected to that project.

Use one project for one clear job: a product demo, a character test, a storyboard, a reference rewrite, or a short video draft.

Create a blank project

1. Open AI Video Studio.
2. Click Create project.
3. If ViraFlow asks you to sign in, sign in and continue.
4. Wait for the blank canvas to open.

You can also open All projects and click New Project from the project center.

ViraFlow may create the project with a default name. When you need a clearer name, open the project list and use Rename.

Add your first node

Use the left toolbar on the canvas.

1. Click the + button.
2. Choose Text, Image, Video, or Script.
3. Start with the smallest useful input.

Good first inputs are:

• one sentence that describes the video idea
• one product image
• one character image
• one short script
• one reference video or clip

You can also right-click an empty part of the canvas to add a node at that spot.

Keep the first project small

Do not start by testing every model or tool.

For the first project, use this path:

1. Add a Text node with one idea.
2. Add an Image node from that idea or upload one image.
3. Turn that image into a short Video result.
4. Click Save after the important change.
5. Save useful media to Assets if you want to reuse it.

Open the project later

Use All projects or the project center to find saved projects. A project card can be opened, renamed, or deleted from there.
