Zoom In, Mark It Down

This week brings a closer look at your work. You can now zoom right into a slide in the deck editor, write canvas notes in Markdown, and trust that every video shows its exact length and every upscale is priced on the clip you actually connected. Open in Agent now takes you to Claude and ChatGPT on the web, and a long list of fixes makes generations, techniques and older projects more dependable.

New

  1. Zoom and pan in decks

    Zoom a slide from 25% to 400% to fine-tune small details up close, or zoom out to see the whole stage.

  2. Markdown notes

    Switch any canvas note between Text and Markdown, so headings, lists and links render the way you wrote them.

  3. A FLORA canvas, right in your agent

    Generate through the FLORA MCP and your runs render as a FLORA canvas inside Claude or ChatGPT, with the inputs that fed each run, an Outputs / Full project toggle, and a viewer to compare, comment, download or go fullscreen.

  4. 3D uploads through the API

    GLB files can now be uploaded through the public API and open in the 3D viewer like any other model.

Improved

  1. Open in Agent on the web

    Claude and ChatGPT now open in your browser with your project prompt ready, so you can start without installing a desktop app.

  2. Exact video lengths

    FLORA measures every video and shows its true duration, including older clips the next time you open their project.

  3. Upscale prices that match

    Topaz and Magnific video upscales are now quoted on your clip's real length, so the price you see is the price you pay.

  4. Your trim stays your trim

    When a reference clip has to be shortened to fit a model's limit, FLORA keeps the range you selected instead of jumping to the start.

  5. Steadier FAUNA

    When FAUNA makes a malformed tool call, it now corrects itself and keeps going instead of ending the turn with an error.

  6. Smoother agent workflows

    Agents get a dedicated tool for each action and comment operation, and running out of credits in an agent links you straight to the plan picker.

  7. Realistic LoRA training estimates

    Flux 2 LoRA training times now reflect how long real runs take.

Fixes

  • Generations keep running when the connection drops mid-run, instead of failing and asking you to start over.
  • Duplicating an Action together with its result keeps the copy wired to the new Action.
  • Audio @-mentions now work in saved techniques and in runs started from the API.
  • Techniques whose code blocks output audio, such as Split Audio from Video, run without a configuration error.
  • Older projects that hadn't been opened in a while load again instead of retrying endlessly.
  • Timeline Editor renders of two minutes or longer no longer fail partway through.
  • Outpaint keeps your expansion settings when the generation runs.
  • MiniMax H3 reference clips longer than 15 seconds are flagged before you run, not after.
  • The Export node no longer reports inputs as already synced when your Google Drive folder is empty.
  • Comment authors now appear on view-only share links.
  • FLORA loads on Chrome 109, the last version for Windows 7 and 8.1, instead of crashing after sign-in.
  • Clicking around a project with a 3D node no longer throws an error in Firefox.
  • "Your generation is ready" emails now only cover generations you start on the canvas.

@FLORA in Comments & Skills on Every Node

This week FLORA moves into the places you already work: mention @FLORA in a canvas comment and it acts on the nodes right next to the thread, while text, image and video nodes all pick up /skills, and text nodes can call your connected apps. You also get live 3D layers in the Image Editor, nested project folders, a Decks tab in the library, and a set of canvas layout tools.

New

  1. @FLORA in comment threads

    Mention @FLORA in any canvas comment and it joins the thread as a teammate: it runs on that canvas and replies right there.

    MoreLess

    It knows where the comment sits and which nodes are nearby, so “make this brighter” or “redo these” lands on the right nodes without naming them.

  2. Skills on image and video nodes

    Type / in an image or video node to pick a skill from your library.

    MoreLess

    The skill's instructions shape the prompt sent to the model, so a style guide or shot recipe you've written once applies to every run.

  3. A smarter text node

    Text nodes now support /skills, @-mentions of your connected apps with per-node toggles, read-only access to your FLORA projects, and a TXT or Markdown output switch.

    MoreLess

    A plain prompt still works exactly as before.

  4. Live 3D layers in the Image Editor

    Bring a 3D model into the Image Editor as a real layer and orbit it in place to find the angle you want.

    MoreLess

    A flat render of the current pose stands in on the canvas, in exports and in downstream nodes.

  5. Nested project folders

    Folders can now hold subfolders.

    MoreLess

    Right-click inside a folder for New project or New folder, move folders into other folders, and use the breadcrumb to jump back up.

  6. Decks in your library

    A new Decks tab in the library and dashboard collects every deck you make, with folders, Private and Workspace views, so you can find a deck without opening the canvas it lives on.

  7. Copy and paste slides

    Right-click slides in the deck filmstrip to copy them and paste them into the same deck or another deck in the project.

  8. Align nodes

    The Autoformat button is now an Align menu: line up a selection left, center, right, top, middle or bottom, distribute it evenly, or auto-format it as before.

  9. Resize image nodes

    Drag a corner or edge to resize an image node on the canvas; its aspect ratio always stays locked.

  10. Pick image and video models in chat

    Choose the image and video model (and its options) right in the chat composer, and the agent uses your pick when it generates.

Improved

  1. Zoom into fullscreen videos

    Fullscreen videos now zoom and pan like images, with the +/− controls, pinch or Ctrl-scroll zoom, and drag to pan.

  2. See the seed behind a generation

    The fullscreen detail panel shows the seed each generation used, even when it was picked automatically.

    MoreLess

    Click to copy it and reproduce a result.

  3. Image mode for video nodes

    On video models that read images as frames or as references, such as MiniMax H3 Max, Seedance 2.0 and WAN 3.0, choose how each image is used.

    MoreLess

    H3 Max also gains 1080P, 1–4 second clips, and a pinned soundtrack.

  4. Folders across the library

    Add folders to the Elements tab, and create shared workspace folders in Assets, Elements and Styles so a team can organize by client or project.

  5. Comments tag their node

    Starting a comment from a node, or on top of one, pre-fills that node's tag so the comment references it automatically.

  6. Filter project search

    The Cmd+K Projects tab adds an All / Workspace / Private filter, so private projects are easy to find.

  7. One skills library

    FAUNA and chat now share the same skills library and skills menu, and skills created in chat get an auto-generated cover image.

  8. Clear model retirement notices

    If a saved node points at a retired model, FLORA tells you which model it used instead.

  9. Smoother Image Editor collaboration

    In the fullscreen Image Editor you can see which layers collaborators have selected, outlined in their colors.

Fixes

  • Tabs left open across a FLORA release now keep working instead of failing with a “Server Action not found” error.
  • Text generations that hit the output length limit now fail instead of charging you for a cut-off result.
  • The Import file picker works reliably in Safari, and right-clicking the canvas in Safari no longer shows a stray Paste bubble.
  • Control-click on macOS opens the canvas context menu, and Enter runs selected 3D generation nodes.
  • A resized media node keeps its size, and a duplicated node no longer shows as still generating.
  • Replacing a video in a node picks up the new clip's duration.
  • In decks, Escape saves your slide text edit, copied layers paste into a different deck, and Space or Enter no longer act on the focused filmstrip slide.
  • FAUNA conversations reload with their full history, and audio @-mentions work with Seedance 2.5.
  • Restoring a project from trash explains when your project limit blocks it.

Cancel Mid-Run & Quality of Life Updates

This week puts you back in control of the canvas: stop any generation mid-run, rework your node graph faster, and share an exact spot on a canvas with a single link. Other improvements: you can change your own account email, and Decks picks up text links, layer copy-paste, and a roomier editor.

New

  1. Cancel a generation mid-run

    Stop any in-flight generation and clear it instantly.

    MoreLess

    A Cancel button sits beside Run all whenever something is running, with matching options in the canvas right-click menu and each queue row's “…” menu. The node snaps back to its pre-run state and a late result never lands on it — so you are never stuck waiting out a run you didn't mean to start.

  2. Change your email address

    Update your primary email from account settings yourself; your account keeps all of its projects and data under the new address.

  3. @-mention your uploads in chat

    Images you drop into the chat composer now appear in the @ menu under “Uploads,” so you can reference them by name: “update @my_logo.png to match @reference.png.”

  4. Copy a link to a canvas selection

    Select two or more nodes (or a single node or field from the right-click menu) and copy a share-aware link.

    MoreLess

    Whoever opens it lands right on that selection, Figma-style.

  5. Share a link to a workspace

    Hover a workspace in the switcher to copy a link that opens FLORA directly in it — handy when you work across several sub-workspaces.

  6. Deck text links & a bigger deck node

    Highlight any text in a deck and drop a URL into the new “Links to” field, and edit on a deck node that is now 1.5x larger on the canvas.

  7. Copy and paste deck layers

    Right-click a Decks layer to copy it and paste it onto another slide, keeping its formatting and position.

  8. Grok in Open in Agent

    The Open in Agent dialog adds Grok Bot and Grok tabs, each opening with your project prompt prefilled.

Improved

  1. Smarter bulk connections

    Connect a mixed selection (say an image and a text block) to another node in one go.

    MoreLess

    Bulk drops are now all-or-nothing and tell you why a connection won't fit, instead of silently dropping it.

  2. Faster graph rewiring

    Merge input bundles onto a different node type, copy a bundle with Option, and duplicate outgoing wires, so rearranging a canvas behaves the way you expect.

  3. “Clear node” keeps your setup

    Clearing a node now wipes only its output and keeps the model, parameters, and prompts, so you can duplicate a canvas, clear the results, and reuse the whole setup for the next project.

  4. A quieter canvas for power users

    Two new preferences (Account → Preferences → Canvas) let you hide model logos on nodes and collapse input handles.

  5. Continue chat media on the canvas

    Open media generated in chat straight into a project, with clearer media-toolbar tooltips along the way.

  6. Resizable chat panel

    Drag the side-panel chat to the width you want; it is remembered per browser.

  7. New chat in a new tab

    Cmd/Ctrl-click (or middle-click) any “New chat” control to open a fresh chat in a new tab.

  8. Clearer deck editing

    The editor's small X is now a labeled “Save and Close” button, and a node's Tools dropdown scrolls instead of getting clipped off-screen.

Fixes

  • The canvas recovers on its own from a lost graphics context instead of crashing the app.
  • Fixed corrupted canvas text that could leave a stuck “Inpainting” header.
  • Downloads from the share modal keep their file extensions.
  • A click-then-drag on a node is no longer mistaken for a double-click.
  • The deck editor no longer renders below the top of the window, and version-refresh toasts stay clickable.
  • You can now add images to an Element created from the library without an active project.
