Recipes

Every recipe your project can run -- the ones it learnt from your starred results, and the ones that ship with the platform.

The Recipes view is a project view listing every recipe this project can run, in two sections: Learnt from your work first, then Built-in recipes.

Both sections show the same card, because what matters about a recipe is what it does and how well it has worked -- not which of them it came from.

How recipes get here

You do not save recipes -- starring a result adds one. When you star an item in a media gallery, the platform traces it back through the steps that produced it and keeps that chain, named after what those steps do.

  • Starring something whose chain you already have strengthens that entry instead of adding a duplicate.
  • Starring something that matches a built-in credits the built-in rather than creating a near-copy.
  • Only items generated by a workflow can teach a recipe -- an upload or a recording has no chain behind it.
  • Unstarring never removes a recipe you have learnt. Rename or delete it here if you want it gone.

To inspect the chain behind an item without starring it, choose Load as Recipe on that item.

How much to trust a recipe

Every recipe carries one of four levels, whichever section it is in:

Level Meaning
Untested Nothing has come out of this one yet.
Promising It has worked, but not often enough to be sure.
Reliable It works consistently.
Recommended A good first choice for this job.

For a recipe you learnt, the level comes from your own results -- how many of its runs produced something you starred. A recipe that recently failed drops back to Promising however good its history, because what matters is whether it is dependable right now. For a built-in, the level is how thoroughly the platform has exercised it.

Learnt from your work

Recipes this project picked up from your starred results, plus any the assistant wrote for you. Each one shows how many of its runs you kept and when it was last updated. You can:

  • Rename a recipe by clicking its name
  • Delete a recipe, with confirmation

Built-in recipes

Proven step sequences that ship with the platform, for common goals such as generating a character reference, lip-syncing a shot, or running the dialogue audio pipeline.

They are read-only here. To make your own version, run one, change what you want in the gallery, and star the result -- your version is kept alongside the original.

To run any recipe, open the action menu on a matching media gallery (for example, on a character's page).

Recipes are not edited on this page

By design. A recipe describes something that actually worked, so the way to change one is to run it, adjust it where you can see the results, and star what you like.

To change a recipe, load it onto a media gallery's Actions tab -- on a character, location, prop or shot -- and edit it there. That is where you reorder steps, insert and delete them, rename them, and swap the operation behind one. See Editing a recipe for what each of those does to a recipe whose later steps read the outputs of earlier ones.
