Getting Started

Understand the Workbench and Creation Structure

Open the Workbench

The Workbench connects several objects in one creation flow. Understanding these relationships makes it easier to choose projects, find results, and reuse assets.

Teams, projects, and episodes

  • A team determines members, team credits, and manageable projects.
  • A team project organizes ongoing creation and is required when submitting an image or video generation task.
  • An episode belongs to a project and further organizes assets and results. It is optional on the image and video generation pages.
  • Project assets organize storyboards, videos, characters, scene images, props, audio, and other content by episode.
  • A canvas belongs to a project and can be linked to an episode. Nodes organize prompts, media, and generated results.
  • An editing workspace belongs to a project and episode and combines media on a timeline. Its versions are separate from canvases.

Joining a team does not necessarily make you a member of every project. If a project is missing, ask the team owner or project creator to check your project access.

Common destinations

  • Projects: find accessible projects and open episodes, assets, and existing canvases.
  • Canvas Creation: open recent canvases or create a project and default canvas in the team you own.
  • Image Generation: create images from a prompt and optional reference images.
  • Image Enhancement: upscale or enhance images in the media processing workspace.
  • Video Generation: generate video with Creative, First/Last Frame, or other modes currently available on the page.
  • Video Processing: process uploaded videos or completed video works.
  • Smart Translation: translate media text and process video subtitles and dubbing.
  • Assets: manage person, Seedance, and Doubao assets.
  • My Works: browse video works and continue editing when eligible.
  • Team Management: manage team members, projects, project members, and credit statistics.
  • Subscriptions: view or manage the subscription for the team you own. It does not follow the team currently selected in Team Management.

Open the editor from an episode asset page or an eligible video work. If you open it without a project and episode, you must choose the workspace context first.

Where results appear

  • Image results: the Preview and History tabs on Image Generation.
  • Video results: the Preview and History tabs on Video Generation. Successful videos also appear in My Works.
  • Recent successful images and videos: Recent Works on the Workbench home page.
  • Imported project assets: the asset page for the target project and episode.
  • Canvas results: nodes and history in the corresponding canvas. Editing versions: the project and episode's editing workspace. These are separate from the standalone generation pages' histories.
  1. Confirm that you have joined a team and a project.
  2. If no project exists, ask the team owner to create one.
  3. Select the project on Image or Video Generation, enter the creative content, and review estimated credits.
  4. Submit, then confirm the result in Preview and History.
  5. For ongoing production, check the result's asset status or import it, then open the canvas or editor from the episode page.
