AI Image
Generate a still image from a prompt, store the result as an asset, and transform it like an Image layer.
Add AI Image
Open a project or create a blank one. This layer can create its own visible content. Choose GenAI → Media → AI Image in the effects picker, or search for AI Image with Cmd/Ctrl + F. Select the new layer in Layers to open its Effect Panel.
Choose a generation
Sign in and enable AI in Settings → Generative AI. Enter Prompt, choose Model and Aspect, then review the quoted credit cost beside Generate.
Generate and place
Click Generate and wait for the result. The generated image becomes project media. Use the canvas gizmo or Transform to move and scale it; change the prompt or seed and generate again to request a new result.
Compare and finish
Toggle the layer eye to compare with the incoming composition. Use the Effect Panel footer for opacity and blend mode, or add a mask to limit the affected area. In Video or Live, use the function menu on a supported control to add keyframes or a driver.
