Locations
Location entities — media, properties, and profile.
A location is a place where scenes occur. Locations are project-level entities reused across episodes. They appear on the Assets page.
Click New Location to create one. Supply a name and (optionally) a custom ID.
In Shot Context, assign a location to a shot. The location's starred media image is then available as an input to recipe steps that generate the shot's background.
Media
The location's Media Gallery holds generated backgrounds and reference imagery. Star the primary image — this is the one used as the reference background when running shot composition recipes that reference this location.
Properties
Location properties are split into three sections:
Core
- Name, description, notes
Story
Setting description, history, atmosphere, significance to the story. Inherited read-only by variants.
Visual
Physical description, lighting notes, architectural style, colour palette. Can be overridden independently on variants.
Profile
The Location Profile provides a rich document workspace for reference material — written descriptions, mood boards, notes. Use this for anything that helps define the look and feel of the space.
Variants
Locations support variants for different versions of the same space:
- Time-of-day variants (morning interior vs night exterior)
- Weather or season variants
- Story-state variants (before and after an event)
Variants inherit Story properties from the base location but can have independent Visual properties.
