• Simple: type what should change ("make it night", "remove the second cup") and click Redraw. A note about one thing changes only that; an empty note draws the whole picture again. Compare Before/After, then Keep and back to editing or Discard.
• Advanced: mark what to change with Auto-identify objects (then click one) or Tag manually (a rectangle, circle or polygon), then choose Remove, Change, Move or Turn. Only those spots change; everything else stays exactly as it is. Up to 6 changes at a time: Apply, compare Before/After, then Done or Discard.

• Move: drag the object where it should go. The corner resizes it, the round handle tilts it, and Flip mirrors it.
• Turn: spin or tip it with the rings, or pick Faces camera, ¾ left, Side-on and so on. A quick turn redraws it at that angle; Show in 3D builds the object once, then turns it exactly.
• A Line or Arrow is a note: say what it points at, to explain another change.
• Move around drags the view; − and + zoom.

In Movie mode, Simple also lets you pick the Camera: which view of the place the scene is drawn from (the AI’s pick is marked). Show all N views lists them all. Need another angle? Add a view of the place in 2 World.

Use your own picture or clip

• Click Use my own ▾: Upload a picture, Upload a video clip or Pick from My library. It’s used exactly as it is; the AI never redraws it.
• Your picture gets a camera move (choose it in 4 Animate) and is never AI-animated.
• Your clip plays as it is: a clip longer than the scene is trimmed, a shorter one holds its last frame, and its own sound isn’t used. Replace clip swaps it; Remove clip keeps its first frame as the scene’s picture.
• Use AI picture goes back to the AI’s picture; yours stays in Version history. Animate all skips scenes with your own picture or clip.

Close

Version history keeps every version of the picture: click Use this to go back to one, or Delete this to remove one you don’t need.

Scene details shows On screen image details (what the picture shows: edit it, then redraw) and the references the scene Uses, up to 8: characters, places, a view, the previous scene. + Add and + Previous scene add one; Automatic goes back to the ones named in the scene’s text.
