Prompt to Presentation

Use Crit Space to go from a single text prompt to concept renders, lighting variations, detail shots and video, then lay out the best shots as a presentation board for your team or client.

You can also start from the Prompt to Presentation preset in Crit Space, which sets up this workflow for you.

Generate your first concept

Add an Image Generator and write your prompt. For this example we used:

"Modern case study home in the Scottish Highlands made of CLT timber, lush dense forest around, with a foggy mountainside in the background."

For this generation we used:

Model - Muse Image Edit
Aspect ratio - 16:9
Image count - 2

Click the green generate button. The results appear as new image nodes, connected to the generator that made them.

Branch a variation

Drag out from an image's connection handle and add a new Image Generator. The image becomes its reference, so you can try changes without losing the original. We asked for an evening version:

"Make it evening, warm lighting inside."

Press T to label the branch, for example Night Mode.

The original concept branched into two evening versions, labelled Night Mode

Compare options

Add a Compare node and connect two images to check the differences with a swipe slider. Delete the node when you're done with it.

Animate between two frames

Add a Video Generator. Connect the morning image to Start Frame and an evening image to Last Frame, then describe the transition. For this example we used:

"Smooth timelapse transition from morning to evening."

Model - MiniMax H3 Max Turbo
Camera movement - Static
Duration - 5s

The finished video plays right on the canvas.

Get nine shots with Multi Shot

Multi Shot turns one image into a 3×3 sheet of shot variations: close-ups, details, new camera angles and changes in light and atmosphere. You don't need to describe each view.

Add a Multi Shot node and connect the image you want to build from. To steer the results, right-click to add a Prompt node, type a few key notes and connect it. We used:

"Close up, detailed timber connections, fog rolling, interior cabin, ginger cat."

Click generate. When the shots are ready, click Add all to board to place all nine on the canvas as separate images. For more on prompting and settings, see the Multi Shot guide.

Some shots will suit your project better than others. Hold Alt and drag the strongest ones to duplicate them, then group them into a section such as My Favourites. Use notes and markup to flag what you like or what needs changing.

Create B-roll

Short clips from single shots help tell the story around your main transition. Add a Video Generator, connect one image as the Start Frame, choose a camera movement and keep the prompt simple. We made two clips:

Pan Right - "Smooth subtle camera panning to the right, passing of time."
Static - "Cat walks out of frame on the left hand side."

In a few steps you've gone from one prompt to concept renders, lighting variations, detail shots and video, all on one canvas.
