Text to Image Generation #

The Text to Image tab allows you to create images from descriptive text prompts.

Required Settings #

• Model Selection: Choose from models like HiDream I1 Fast, Ideogram V2, Flux.1 DEV, or Sana Sprint
• Prompt: Detailed description of the image you want to generate

Optional Settings #

• Negative Prompt: Describe elements you want to avoid in the generated image

Best Practices for Text to Image #

• Be Specific: Include details about style, lighting, composition, and subject matter
• Use Visual Language: Describe textures, colors, and spatial relationships
• Mention Artistic Influences: Reference artists or art styles for more targeted results
• Balance Detail: Too much detail can confuse the model, while too little leaves too much to chance
• Experiment with Models: Different models excel at different visual styles

Example Prompt:

A serene Japanese garden with a small wooden bridge over a koi pond, cherry blossoms falling gently, warm afternoon light creating long shadows, 4K detailed photography

Example Negative Prompt:

blurry, distorted, low quality, unrealistic, text, watermarks, signatures

Image to Video Generation #

The Image to Video tab lets you animate existing images, bringing still pictures to life.

Required Settings #

• Model Selection: Choose from models like Veo 2 or Kling V2 Master
• Input Image: Upload an image or provide an image URL
• Video Settings: Select duration and aspect ratio

Optional Settings #

• Motion Prompt: Describe how you want the image to animate (recommended for best results)

Best Practices for Image to Video #

• Choose Clear Images: Start with high-quality, well-composed images
• Consider Motion Flow: Think about how elements in your image could naturally move
• Guide the Animation: Use the motion prompt to specify direction and style of movement
• Match Duration to Complexity: Simpler animations work better with shorter durations
• Test Different Aspect Ratios: The ‘auto’ setting preserves your original image’s ratio

Example Motion Prompt:

Gentle camera zoom in, leaves rustling in a light breeze, water rippling

Text to Video Generation #

The Text to Video tab enables you to create videos directly from text descriptions without needing a source image.

Required Settings #

• Model Selection: Choose from models like Veo 2 or Kling V2 Master
• Prompt: Detailed description of the video you want to generate
• Video Settings: Select duration and aspect ratio

Best Practices for Text to Video #

• Describe Dynamic Elements: Focus on movement, transitions, and action
• Establish Scene Setting: Begin with the environment and lighting
• Include Timeframes: Mention if the scene changes over time
• Specify Camera Movement: Include terms like “pan,” “zoom,” or “tracking shot”
• Keep It Coherent: Focus on a single scene or concept for better results

Example Prompt:

Aerial footage slowly panning over a snow-capped mountain range at sunset, golden light casting long shadows, clouds moving gently across the peaks, cinematic quality

Technical Setup #

API Key Configuration #

Before using the Multimedia Generator Node, you’ll need to configure your Fal.ai API key:

1. Sign up for an account at https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys
2. Generate an API key
3. In WordPress, go to the WP AI Workflow Automation settings
4. Enter your Fal.ai API key in the designated field

Understanding Costs #

The Multimedia Generator Node provides transparent cost estimates before generating any media:

• Text to Image: Costs range from $0.01 to $0.08 per image depending on the model
• Image to Video: Costs range from $1.50 to $2.50+ depending on model and duration
• Text to Video: Costs range from $1.40 to $2.50+ depending on model and duration

Costs are shown before generation so you can make informed decisions.

Advanced Usage #

Connecting with Other Nodes #

The Multimedia Generator Node becomes even more powerful when connected to other nodes in your workflow:

• Form Node → Multimedia Generator: Use user-submitted descriptions to generate custom images
• API Node → Multimedia Generator: Use data from external sources to inform your image generation
• Multimedia Generator → Email Node: Send generated media directly to users
• Multimedia Generator → WordPress Post Node: Automatically add generated media to posts

Using Dynamic Tags #

You can incorporate data from other nodes in your workflow using input tags:

A [[product-node:color]] [[product-node:name]] on a clean white background, product photography style

This example would use the “color” and “name” values from a node named “product-node” to customize the prompt.

Batch Processing #

For more advanced workflows, you can:

1. Use a Loop Node to iterate through a list of descriptions
2. Connect to the Multimedia Generator Node
3. Generate multiple images or videos in sequence
4. Process the results with subsequent nodes
