Workflows overview
A Workflow is a generation pipeline you build once and run as many times as you like. On a node canvas, you chain models together — an image feeds a video generator, an LLM writes prompts for twelve shots at once, a finished clip flows through an upscaler — and Corte executes the whole graph in order, carrying each node's output into the next.
When to use Workflows
Corte gives you three ways to generate, and they're complementary:
| Use… | When… |
|---|---|
| Studio | You want one image or video from one prompt, right now. |
| Applications | A curated one-click transform fits your task — restage a product, upscale a clip, remove a background. |
| Workflows | The job has steps — multiple models, prompts that feed each other, or a batch of outputs — and you'll want to run it again. |
If you've ever generated an image in Studio, then fed it back in as a reference for a video, then upscaled the result by hand — that's a workflow. Build it once and the next campaign is one click.
The Workflows page
Open Workflows from the rail. You'll find:
- New workflow — a blank canvas. See Building workflows.
- Your workflows — every pipeline you've saved. The ⋯ menu on each card deletes it.
- Start from a template — 17 prebuilt pipelines, from a 12-shot AI photoshoot to virtual try-on. Templates open as read-only previews so you can inspect exactly how they work, then Make a copy to edit and run your own. See Workflow templates.
What runs cost
Building and saving workflows is free. When you press Run, each generator node — Generate Image, Generate Video, Generate Text, Generate Audio, Edit Video, Upscale Video — spends credits exactly as it would in Studio, billed per node as it executes. See How credits work.
