Flow AI helps you create video clips and refine scenes in its creative studio. TopMaker AI offers multiple video models, image-to-video creation, and credit estimates before you generate. Try TopMaker AI for free.
Explore four parts of the Flow AI workflow, illustrated with stills from official demos.
The Flow AI image-to-video workflow starts with images used as ingredients or frames. Bring a subject and a setting into the same scene, then describe the action and camera movement to develop a shot from assets you already have.
Try in Flow: bring a character reference and a location image into the same scene, then describe the action and camera movement.
Flow Agent uses project context to help brainstorm, write dialogue, and explore story directions. It can generate variations and assist with batch edits as your project develops.
Try in Flow: ask Agent to change a group of daytime shots to nighttime, then review the updated assets together.
Describe a change to an image or video in Flow. For targeted image edits, select an area; supported video tools can add or remove objects and adjust a scene. Available controls depend on the model and your access.
Search, filter, and sort your Flow asset library, then group related images and videos into collections. Reference existing assets in prompts and return to useful variations as a project develops. Together, these four parts form a Flow AI video generator workflow: reference-driven input, agent-assisted planning, natural-language refinement, and organized assets you can reuse.
In this guide, Flow AI refers to the Google Flow AI video generator and its creative studio for building and refining visual stories. Generate images and video clips, use reference images to shape a scene, and adjust details with natural-language instructions. The Flow AI video generator connects these steps in one workflow, with collections that keep assets ready to reuse in later shots.
From an opening shot to a campaign concept, these four tasks show where Flow AI video and image generation fit into a project.
Develop dialogue and alternative scene directions with Flow Agent before generating shots. Use that plan to decide which moment to show first and what the next shot needs to establish.
Use product and setting references as video ingredients, then remove distracting objects. Reuse the references to explore another setting while keeping the product as the focus.
Select an image area and describe a targeted change to refine a mood or design direction.
Group references and clips into Collections so the next variation starts from useful material.
Follow these steps in the Flow studio to develop a video idea. Use this workflow as a checklist when comparing a Flow AI video generator with another video tool, whether free or paid.
Describe your scene or add reference images in the studio. Use existing assets or create images for your video.
Generate a clip, review the result, and use the available editing tools or variations to refine your scene.
Group related images and clips into collections so you can find and reuse them as your story develops.
The right choice depends on whether you prioritize a connected creative studio or direct access to multiple models.
A studio for developing visual projects through multiple iterations.
Flow Agent can work with project context to help you develop ideas and explore story choices.
Generate images and videos with the studio’s supported models, then carry those assets into the same project.
Use editing, variations, and reusable assets to develop a scene beyond its first draft.
Review the model options, feature access, and subscription terms for your workflow.
Flow uses its own model ecosystem. Check whether those models meet the needs of your project.
Capabilities can vary by region and between web and mobile. Confirm access to the tools you need.
