Canvas, Flow, Studio & Effects

Sunra's four creative workspaces: Canvas for exploring, Flow for repeatable pipelines, Studio for character-consistent multi-shot work, and Effects for one-click presets.

The single-purpose generators (/image, /video, /audio) are the fast path. For bigger projects, Sunra has four workspaces. Here's what each is and when to reach for it.

Canvas — explore

Canvas is an infinite board where your generations live as movable tiles (image, video, or audio). You pan, zoom, and arrange them freely — it's for the messy, exploratory middle of a project.

  • Generate onto the board from a prompt; tiles appear and fill in.
  • Arrange and group — spread variations out, cluster related takes, compare them side by side at the same size.
  • Edit any tile in place — run text edit, multi-angle, expand, upscale, or background removal on a tile without leaving the board.
  • Reference characters and tiles with @-mentions, and hand work to a built-in agent.

Use Canvas when you're deciding *what* to make.

Flow — scale

Flow is a node-based pipeline editor. You wire typed nodes — Text, Image, Video, Audio — into a graph, then save, fork, and re-run it on new inputs. Build a flow once, use it a thousand times.

  • Each node holds its own model and settings; connections are rule-governed (e.g. an image node can feed a video node).
  • The wiring decides how each step runs (text-to-video, image-to-video, reference, or video-to-video).
  • Graphs are saved per project and shareable.
Tip
The rule of thumb: use Canvas to discover, Flow to scale. Reach for Flow once you've found a sequence of steps worth repeating — it turns a one-off into a reusable machine.

Studio — produce

Studio is a project workspace for character-consistent, multi-shot pieces, with a mode rail for image / video / audio.

  • Characters — save a character (a name plus reference photos), then @-mention it in prompts so the same face carries across shots.
  • Multi-shot timeline — on Kling 3.0 and Kling O3, lay out a sequence of shots, each with its own prompt, duration, and camera preset (push in, orbit, crane, and more), generated in one pass.
  • Projects — work is grouped into switchable projects, each with its own gallery mixing all three media types.

Use Studio when you need consistency across a scene or a short film.

Effects — one click

Effects are one-click presets — no prompt writing. Pick a named effect, upload the required photo(s), and a template does the rest (mostly short videos, some images).

  • Browse by category: dance, style, scene, vfx, transform, romance, pov, social.
  • The preset preserves the subject's identity, so it's the quickest way to turn a single photo into a finished, on-trend clip.
Note
Effects need zero prompting — if you just want a trendy clip from one photo, start here before the generators. You can always carry the result into Canvas or Studio to refine it.
