Create images or generated footage, approve stills before animation, and keep track of cost and revisions.
Describe an image, a single moving shot or a finished video, and let Voyager turn the request into media you can review and revise.You need a connected chat account and a generation provider that supports the work. Bring your own media keys, which need no Voyager plan, or use Voyager credits from a plan. Your Claude or ChatGPT does not pay for generated media. See current pricing.
Generating images, clips, audio and new takes can cost money. Still images used to plan an animation can also cost money. Set Question answers to Always ask if you want to review each question yourself, and read approvals and spending before starting.
Include the subject, setting, style and shape. If you need an exact size, transparent background or particular model, say so.
Create a square product image of the attached ceramic mug on apale stone table, with soft morning light and a warm editoriallook. Keep the mug's shape and blue glaze. Leave room above itfor a headline, but do not add text yet.Show me the estimated cost before generating.

Attach and explain references
Use Add attachment → Attach files, or reference a project file with @. Give each reference a purpose: the actual product, the desired lighting, the composition, or the image to edit.For an edit, identify what should change and what should remain. “Remove the object on the left; keep the subject, lighting and framing” is more precise than “clean this up.”

Review the result
Open the image and inspect the important details. Check the subject, product shape, spelling and crop. Send a specific correction in the same chat, referring to that image.When it is ready, right-click it and choose Save image, or use the reveal action to locate the file.
For a design with exact words or a logo, tell Voyager that the picture and layout both matter. It can build the lettering and layout around the image instead of relying on generated lettering alone.
Give the audience, length, shape, sequence of ideas and audio needs. Name any footage or stills that should be reused.
Make a 12-second vertical teaser for a quiet weekend cabin.Three shots: the cabin in morning mist, a warm interior detail,then a view from the porch. Keep the same natural, understatedlook throughout. No music or voiceover.Estimate the still-image work first. Show me one still per shot,then the animation cost and time estimate. Wait for my approvalbefore animating. Deliver the assembled video, not just the clips.

Approve the look in stills
For a new video with multiple shots, Voyager’s workflow starts with a still for each shot before animation. Review composition, subject identity and consistency across the set.The approval question offers Approve and animate or Change the overall direction, where you type the new direction in the same card. The animation option includes an estimated cost and time. To revise only some shots, flag each still with Redo and add an optional note on what to change.
Approving the look before animation helps avoid paying to animate an unwanted direction.
Choose Always ask to keep this question waiting for you. Balanced can accept a recommended answer after its countdown when it does not exceed your spend limit. Autopilot accepts it immediately, including above-limit spend.

Follow generation and assembly
After approval, Voyager animates the approved stills and assembles the requested video. Open Jobs to see progress. Waiting for a free slot is queueing, not a reason to start the job again.
Jobs shows active and queued work while your video is being made.

Review the finished cut
Play the assembled result, including its sound if requested. Check shot order, continuity, pacing and text.Use review comments to request changes. Say which shots to keep so the agent can reuse approved work. New generations may cost more; an edit that reuses existing clips can avoid new media generation.
For one fully described clip, you can ask directly. If you supply a still to animate, describe how it should move and what must remain unchanged. These requests do not necessarily need a separate still-approval stage. Avoid asking Voyager to skip approvals if you want to review the look first.
Open Settings → Accounts → Generation providers to check connections and their order.
With Automatic fallback on, if a provider is out of credits, rejects its sign-in or is down, Voyager tries the next one in your list. That may bill a different account. You can turn fallback off, or ask the agent to pin a provider for the job.
For example: “Use only my FAL account for these shots; stop if it cannot run.” A model you name and an account you want billed are different choices, so state both when both matter.
The agent should present the final image or assembled video in the chat. Open it at a useful size, check the details, and save or reveal the file. Keep the source stills and clips if you expect more revisions.
My chat subscription works, but media generation asks for payment
Chat and media use separate accounts. Connect your own supported media provider or check your Voyager plan and credits under Settings → Accounts. See generation providers.
A shot failed or has an uncertain outcome
Ask the agent to check the existing job before making a fresh attempt. A delayed or missing result does not prove that the provider did no work. Follow generation troubleshooting.
A request returns the same image or clip
Voyager can reuse an identical earlier generation instead of paying for it again. If you want a different take, ask for a new take explicitly and review its cost.
I only received individual clips
Ask for the assembled video, with the shot order, pacing and audio you want. A completed generation job can be one part of the finished piece.
