Explore

Where you land, and where to start when you do not know what you want yet.

Signing in lands you here rather than on an empty prompt box. A blank composer is the right screen once you know what you want and the wrong one before that.

What is on it

A prompt launcher under the heading. Type an idea and it carries the prompt into Visual, filled in but deliberately not submitted — a link that generates on open would spend the credits of whoever opened it.

A wall of presets. Clips play on hover and while on screen, and pause otherwise: a grid of videos all decoding at once spins a laptop’s fans and eats a phone’s battery for content that has already scrolled past.

Presets

A preset is a prompt someone already wrote, plus the mode it belongs in.

Camera
How it moves — dolly out, crash zoom, bullet time
Style
How it looks — 16mm film, anime, ink wash
Vfx
What happens — disintegrate, light trails
Transition
How two shots join — match cut, whip

A preset is a starting point, not a filter

Clicking one loads its prompt and jumps to its mode. Edit the prompt afterwards — the preset gets you to a good first frame, your words make it yours.

The full preset catalogue
The full catalogue lives at /presets. Tile heights vary because previews are generated at the ratio each preset actually produces.
