Running workflows

Press Run in the canvas top bar and Corte executes the saved graph in dependency order: inputs resolve first, then each generator fires as soon as everything it's wired to is ready.

Nodes light up as the run reaches them — results render inline on the canvas.

Watching a run

Each node shows its own state — waiting, running, done — and results appear directly on the node as they land: generated images and frames render inline, text steps show what they wrote. Downstream nodes start the moment their inputs exist, so parallel branches (say, twelve shots off one Split List) run side by side.

Need to bail out? Stop cancels the run; finished nodes keep their results, and you're only billed for work that actually executed.

The Runs menu

Click Runs in the top bar for the workflow's history. Every run is listed with a status:

StatusMeaning
RunningStill executing — select it to watch live.
CompleteEvery node finished.
FailedA node errored — its message is on the node; the rest of the graph kept whatever finished.
StoppedYou cancelled it mid-flight.

Selecting a run hydrates its per-node results back onto the canvas, so you can compare yesterday's outputs with today's, or retrieve a text step's exact wording from a week ago.

Where outputs land

Everything a run generates is saved to your Library alongside your Studio generations — ready to drag into a cut, feed to an Application, or download. Wiring your finished results into Output nodes keeps the deliverables obvious in each run's results, which matters more as graphs grow.

Costs and failures

A run bills each generator node as it executes — model choice sets the price, and the usage ledger itemizes every node's spend. If a run fails immediately, check your credit balance first; for other failures, see Generation issues.

Run it from anywhere

Saved workflows are first-class API citizens: trigger them with custom inputs from scripts, backends, or agents like Claude Code — statuses and per-node results included. See Workflows via the API and MCP.
