make your first canvas

a canvas is where one project lives: the brief, the references and everything rollo makes from them. the quickest start takes five steps.

  1. start a new canvas

    press ⌘N or click new canvas. give it a name you'll recognise later, like the product or the campaign.

  2. write or say the brief

    type into the brief node, or hold the talk key and describe what you need. a few rambly sentences are fine. mention the product, the mood and where the work will run.

  3. drop in a reference

    drag a product photo, a screenshot or a mood board onto the canvas. rollo treats it as the reference and keeps the shots on-brand.

  4. let rollo lay it out

    rollo suggests a set of nodes for shots, video and copy, already wired to the brief. each one shows its credit cost before it runs.

  5. run what you want

    click run on a single node, or run all to make everything at once. finished nodes develop in place, so you can compare them side by side.
