Before you begin
- A signed-in account with available credits.
- A clear brief and any references needed for your request.
What you’ll achieve:
Model choices
Settings lets you choose image and video models for this conversation. Default follows Tong’s current defaults. Model capabilities, content policies and prices still apply, including for unrestricted workflows.
Describe the media you need
Write whether you need an image, clip, narration, music or sound effect. Include format, movement or spoken text when relevant, and attach your sources.
Review the completed result
Inspect the image or play the full video or audio. In Guide me, use the approval action when you are satisfied with the particular result shown.
Ask for a focused change
Identify the earlier result and type the change in chat. Ask for a regeneration or comparison in words; new outputs appear as separate chronological messages.
Save the result you want
Use the result’s download action or open it in Library. Keep earlier outputs when trying a new direction; opening a saved result does not require regenerating it.
A useful tip
Ask for changes in chat and identify the scene or result. Each new result appears later in the conversation, keeping earlier work available.
If something goes wrong
Reopen the saved conversation and read its status before sending again. Let active work finish; an unavailable preview or connection does not mean a new generation is needed.
Read first, create when you’re ready
Reading this guide is free. Assistant and Film maker use credits as they work and pause when your balance is insufficient. Guide me pauses for creative review; Just make it continues automatically.
