Working on the canvas
Adding nodes
Section titled “Adding nodes”Open the palette — the toolbar at the bottom of the canvas — and pick a node. Each icon fans out into its family: the image icon offers Image upload, Image Gen, Gemini Image, and Upscaler; the video, audio, and template icons do the same for theirs. Drop nodes anywhere; position is free-form and saved with the project.
You can also paste straight onto the canvas: copy an image (or a file) and press ⌘V — Hype Flow creates the matching input node with your media already attached.
Wiring
Section titled “Wiring”Drag from an output port to an input port. Ports are typed — text,
image, video, audio — and only compatible ports connect. One output can
feed many inputs; generation nodes with multiple reference slots
(image_1 … image_10) take one connection per slot.
Delete an edge by selecting it and pressing delete. Rewiring an input replaces what was there.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”Every node card exposes its parameters inline: model dropdowns, prompts, aspect ratios, durations, voice settings. Two things to know:
- Parameters follow the model. Each model advertises what it supports; controls that a model ignores aren’t shown, so every visible knob does something.
- Long prompts collapse. Prompt fields fold down to a preview once they grow; expand them to edit. Handy when an LLM node has written you a 400-word cinematic prompt.
Layout
Section titled “Layout”- Tidy re-lays the graph automatically — left-to-right by data flow, related nodes grouped. Use it after the chat companion has added a batch of nodes, or whenever wiring gets spaghetti-ish.
- Pan with drag / scroll, zoom with pinch or ⌘+scroll.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”Hype Flow has light and dark themes (Bone Beige / Ink Black) — switch in settings. Your choice is saved to your account.
