Utilites

Essential tools for managing, adjusting, and routing content in your workflows

Summary

The Utility category provides the foundational nodes that handle importing, exporting, previewing, routing, and making quick adjustments to your content. These nodes don't generate or transform content with AI instead, they manage the flow of data through your workflow and apply straightforward visual adjustments like cropping, resizing, blurring, and color correction.

Think of them as the connective tissue of any workflow they keep everything organized, properly sized, and moving in the right direction.

How to Add Utility Nodes

1. Click the Add (+) button on the left toolbar in the workflow canvas.

2. Select Utilities (Text/Image/Video) under node categories.

3. Choose from the available nodes listed below.

You can also double-click anywhere on the canvas and search for any utility node by name.

Essentials

These nodes bring content into your workflow and send it out.

1

Import

Upload images, videos, or audio files directly into your workflow. This is the starting point for any workflow that uses your own assets rather than AI-generated content.

2

Export

Save your workflow's final output to a specific format or destination. Use this as the last node in a workflow to download or publish your finished content.

3

Preview

View the output of any node at any point in your workflow without exporting. Useful for checking intermediate results, debugging, or comparing outputs between different stages of a pipeline.

4

Router

Direct content to different paths within your workflow based on your setup. Use the Router to split a workflow into multiple branches—sending the same input to different nodes for parallel processing, or selecting which path to follow.

Adjustment Nodes

These nodes make quick, non-AI visual modifications to images and videos.

1

Crop

Trim an image or video frame to focus on a specific area. Remove unwanted edges, center a subject, or reframe a composition before passing it downstream.

2

Resize

Change the dimensions of an image or video. Unlike AI Resize (which intelligently adapts the composition), this is a straightforward scale—useful for meeting specific pixel requirements or optimizing file sizes.

3

Blur

Apply a blur effect to an image or video, either uniformly or to specific areas. Great for softening backgrounds, creating depth-of-field effects, or obscuring sensitive information.

4

Levels

Adjust brightness, contrast, and tonal range. Fine-tune shadows, midtones, and highlights to correct exposure, enhance detail, or give your content a specific look.

5

Filters

Apply visual filters that change the color tone, texture, or overall aesthetic. Includes options like vintage, high-contrast, warm, cool, and artistic effects to quickly set the mood of your content.

Combining Utility Nodes

Utility nodes are designed to slot into any workflow. Here are some common patterns:

• Import → Crop → Generate Image

  • Upload a reference photo, crop to the relevant area, then use it as input for AI generation.

• Generate Video → Levels → Filters → Export

  • Create a video, correct the exposure, apply a color grade, and export the final file.

• Import → Router → (Multiple Branches)

  • Bring in a single asset and route it to different processing paths simultaneously—one for image generation, another for video, another for upscaling.

• Generate Image → Resize → Preview

  • Create an image, resize it to platform specs, and preview the result before exporting.

• Import → Blur → Crop → Export

  • Upload a photo, blur the background, crop to frame, and export the final version.
