One canvas for AI images, video, characters and sound
Type a prompt or upload a reference image to produce images with GPT Image, Nano Banana or Seedream, then erase, expand, restyle or upscale the same file on one canvas.
Generate clips of up to roughly 15 seconds in up to 4K using models such as Veo, Kling, Seedance and Sora, with style and camera controls.
Build a reusable character from reference photos or a text brief, save it to your library, and tag it into future images and videos for a consistent face.
Director mode scripts multi-scene stories through natural chat, arranging a storyboard, shaping individual shots and refining the final sequence.
