Canvas, Flow, Studio & Effects
PonPon'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, PonPon 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.
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.
Which one when
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Explore and compare many options | Canvas |
| Automate a repeatable production workflow | Flow |
| Keep a character consistent across multiple shots | Studio |
| Turn one photo into a trendy clip with zero prompting | Effects |
Work moves freely between them — explore in Canvas, productionize in Flow or Studio, and polish with the editing tools.
