Workflows node reference
This page lists every node you can add to a workflow, in the same order as the Add node menu. Use it to find the right node for a step, see what it needs, and jump to the full guide for the matching Caimera tool (see Matching tool guides below).
Credits are the default cost shown on each node's Run button. The cost changes with the engine and resolution you choose, and the button always shows the exact cost before you run.

FAQs
- How do I choose the right node for my workflow?
Choose a node based on the task. Use Input nodes to add images or prompts, Generate & Edit nodes to create or change images, Image to Video to turn results into clips, and Send to Portal to share your results.
- Do all nodes use credits?
No. Building a workflow is free: Input nodes and Note nodes cost nothing, and neither does adding or connecting nodes. Only nodes that generate images or videos use credits, depending on the tool, engine, resolution and settings. The Run button shows the exact cost before you run.
- Can I adjust image quality and dimensions within a workflow?
Yes. Depending on the node, you can choose the output resolution, aspect ratio or image size. You can also use Upscale to increase resolution and Crop & Expand to change the framing.
- Can I stop a workflow once it's running?
Yes. Cancel stops every step that hasn't started yet, even when earlier steps have already finished. Steps that are already generating finish and keep their results. This works for single node runs, Run All and batches.
