Generate images

Create stills for concepts, heroes, and pre-production boards before (or instead of) video. Job to be done: pick an image engine, attach references when needed, and iterate quickly.

• Nano Banana — fast high-fidelity stills, multi-reference compositions, and storyboard grids. Default choice for many polished frames and board layouts.

• Kling images — strong reference control when you want the Omni stack’s look on stills.

• EdgeCut AI free — 1K images, no references, opt-in only.

1. Set the prompt bar to Image (or ask the Director for a still / storyboard).

2. Describe composition, subject, lighting, and aspect needs.

3. Attach references or @ Elements when identity must match.

4. Approve the credit estimate if a card appears.

5. Open the finished still from the gallery to preview or download.

Ask for a visual plan / panels / shot board as images first. EdgeCut composes a single grid image rather than separate tiles per shot. Review the board, then ask to animate / render video when ready. Storyboard animation often uses Veo by default (especially logo-heavy boards) or Kling if you explicitly ask; multi-beat boards usually become an extend chain.

Iterate on the still before spending on video. Free 1K EdgeCut images cannot lock to references — switch to Nano Banana or Kling for packshots and faces. Chat planning with the Director does not spend credits until you confirm a render.
