Adding a Sketch node
Sketch has no button in the left toolbar or the add-node menu. You won’t drop one onto an empty canvas the way you would an Image or Video node. Instead, a Sketch node shows up in two ways:- Ask the AI assistant to build a motion graphic, title card, or animated scene. The AI assistant creates and wires the Sketch node for you.
- From a Router’s output handle. A Sketch node only accepts a connection from a Router, so if you want to wire one in by hand, open the radial connection menu on a Router’s output and pick Sketch from there.
What it holds
A Sketch node carries an AI-generated scene: source code, a scene tree, per-scene control values, referenced assets, and a duration in frames (180 by default; 6 seconds at 30fps). The node itself renders a read-only preview loop of the composition.Edit the scene
The canvas node is a preview, not the editor. To change the sketch’s text, fonts, timing, or layout, drop it into a Composition and open that in Studio. The Properties tab there understands a sketch’s scene controls and lets you adjust them directly, the same surface used for every composition layer.A Sketch node is a manual/AI-authored composition, not a from-scratch code editor. For stacking clips yourself, use Composition; for a fully AI-generated video clip instead of motion graphics, use a Video node.
