Canvas Overview
Canvas is Lucky 7's visual workflow builder that lets you create complex AI content generation pipelines using a drag-and-drop node-based interface.
What is Canvas?
Canvas allows you to connect different AI generation steps together to automate your creative workflow. Instead of manually running each step, you build a visual pipeline that processes everything automatically.
Key Concepts
Boards
A board is your workspace in Canvas. Each board contains:
- Nodes - Individual AI operations (text-to-image, image-to-video, etc.)
- Connections - Links between nodes that pass data
- Outputs - Generated content from your workflow
Nodes
Nodes are the building blocks of your workflow. Lucky 7 has 26+ node types:
- Generation Nodes - Create content (text-to-image, image-to-video, etc.)
- Transformation Nodes - Modify content (image-to-image, video-to-video, etc.)
- Utility Nodes - Support your workflow (notes, prompts, assets, etc.)
Connections
Connect nodes by dragging from an output handle to an input handle. Data flows through connections automatically.
Handles
- Input Handles (left side) - Receive data from other nodes
- Output Handles (right side) - Send data to other nodes
Creating Your First Workflow
- Create a Board - Click "Create Board" in the Canvas app
- Add Nodes - Click the + button to add nodes to your board
- Connect Nodes - Drag from output handles to input handles
- Configure Nodes - Set prompts, select models, adjust settings
- Run Workflow - Click the generate button on any node
Example Workflows
Simple Image Generation
Prompt Node → Text-to-Image Node → Output
Image to Video Pipeline
Text-to-Image Node → Image-to-Video Node → Output
Complex Multi-Step Pipeline
Prompt Node → Text-to-Image Node → Multi-Angle Generator → Image-to-Video Node → Voice-Over Node → Output

Best Practices
Start Simple
Begin with 2-3 nodes and test your workflow before adding complexity.
Use Prompt Nodes
Store your prompts in Prompt Nodes so you can reuse and modify them easily.
Name Your Nodes
Give nodes descriptive names to keep your workflow organized.
Test Incrementally
Run each node individually before connecting the full pipeline.
Save Often
Boards auto-save, but manually save before major changes.
