WORKFLOW

Step 1

1 min

Open Dola AI and choose your mode

Visit Dola AI in your browser and decide what you want to create. Choose between text-to-image, text-to-video, or image-to-image mode. Each one starts with a prompt or reference file.

Step 2

1-2 min

Write a clear, descriptive prompt

Describe your scene in natural language. Include the subject, environment, lighting, mood, and style. For example: 'a cyberpunk city street at night with neon signs, cinematic lighting, wide angle, 4K.' The more detail you give, the closer the result will match your vision.

Step 3

Choose your style and settings

Select an artistic style from the available presets. Adjust the aspect ratio (16:9 for video, 9:16 for social, 1:1 for squares) and the number of outputs. Each style changes how the AI interprets your prompt.

Step 4

5-30 sec

Generate and review your creation

Click generate and watch your prompt come to life. Images appear in seconds, videos take a bit longer. Review the output and decide if you want to refine it further or generate variations.

Step 5

2-5 min

Edit on the AI canvas (optional)

Use the multi-layer canvas to refine your creation. Remove unwanted elements, expand the background, blend multiple generated images, or add new AI-generated layers. The canvas gives you fine-grained control over the final composition.

Step 6

Download and share your work

Export your finished creation in high resolution. Images download as PNG or JPEG. Videos export in standard formats ready for social media, presentations, or further editing. Save the prompt if you plan to create a series.

PRO TIPS

Write descriptive, action-oriented prompts

Dola AI responds best to prompts that describe both what you see and what you want to feel.

Specify style early in your prompt

The style keyword at the beginning helps Dola AI set the rendering direction from the start.

Iterate and refine

The first result is a starting point, not always the final version.

FAQ

Can Dola AI generate both images and videos?

Yes. Dola AI supports text-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-image, and image-to-video generation. You can switch between modes without leaving the interface.

What should I write in a prompt for best results?

Include the subject, scene, lighting, mood, and style. The more specific you are, the better the AI understands your intent. For example: 'A fox in a snowy forest, golden hour lighting, cinematic style, high detail.'

Can I edit images after generation?

Yes. Use the canvas editor to inpaint, outpaint, remove elements, or combine multiple generations into one composition. The canvas works with natural language edits too.

What is a good prompt for Dola AI video generation?

Describe motion and scene changes. For example: 'A time-lapse of flowers blooming in a garden, soft morning light, slow motion, cinematic 4K.' Motion keywords help the video generator understand the pacing.
