Using Direction Mode

Direction Mode lets you change a picture or clip you already have by saying what you want, one version at a time. You can open it from the menu, or from any picture or clip you made.

Direction Mode and Direction in Create

Inside Direction Mode, a Direction button shows or hides the Director's panel.

Open it

• From the menu: open Design Studio, then Direction Mode.
• From a result: open a picture or clip, then press Open Direction Mode.
• From the Library: press the three dots on a tile, then Chat to edit.

Your first visit asks for your month and year of birth. This tool is for people aged 18 and over.

Direct a scene

Here is a change you can try:

Change the background to a Jaipur rooftop at golden hour

1. Add a picture or clip to the Stage. Press Upload, or From Assets or Library.
2. Say what to change in the box.
3. On a wide screen, rest the pointer on the send button to see the cost.
4. Press Send. A new version appears on the Stage.
5. Keep going. Each new edit starts from the version on the Stage.

What you add takes the place of the + box in the prompt, with its label: Model, Product, Prop, Background or Reference. The small + on the last one adds another.

Every version is saved to your Library. The versions show at the top of the Direct tab. In the box, the small version arrow names the version you are on and shows or hides them there too. To go back, open an older version's options and press Continue from this. Compare with current lets you check two versions against each other.

The Director's panel

The Direct tab holds ready choices. Instructions lists what you asked for and the results.

I was charged for a result I do not like. A made result is final. Failed jobs return their credits.
