Card settings, versions, and reusing a generation

Every version keeps its own prompt and settings. How to go back to an earlier take, find hidden settings, extract a result, and pull a frame out of a video.

Written by Sebastian Mourra

A card keeps every version you generate on it. This article covers how to move between them and what else lives on a card.

Every version keeps its own settings

Click a version and everything about it comes back: the prompt, the model, the duration, the aspect ratio, quality, the audio and loop toggles, and every model specific setting.

So if you generate 5 takes of a shot and the third one is the good one, click it and you have the exact recipe that made it. Click the newest version to get back to where you were.

Finding settings that are not on the card face

Duration, quality, audio, and loop sit on the card itself. Everything else is in the card's overflow menu, listed with its current value. Click one and the settings panel opens on that setting.

On Kling V3 this is where Multi-shot Prompts, Video Reference Mode, Negative Prompt, and Camera Concepts live.

Changing the shape

Changing aspect ratio reshapes the card, even when it already has a result on it.

Extract a result onto the canvas

Right click a result on a generation card and place it on the canvas as its own asset card, leaving the generation card where it is. It works per version, so you can branch off the take you liked without disturbing the card that made it.

A second option extracts every result at once, stacked and numbered.

Pull a frame out of a video

Generation cards have a frame scrubber. Scrub, click, and that frame becomes the card thumbnail and the frame fed to anything connected to that output.

There is also Add frame to canvas, for when you want the video to keep feeding its own last frame while a still branches off somewhere else.

What the detail panel tells you

Every surface reads the same record now, so a card on the canvas and the same asset in My Library describe it identically:

  • Model, aspect ratio, dimensions, duration, quality, audio, loop

  • Location, size, source, visibility, release, created

  • Generation time, which is how long the model took. Not the same as duration, which is how long the clip is.

  • Created carries the time of day, with the full timestamp on hover, so you can tell which of 6 attempts was last

  • The prompt that was actually sent, not the template it came from

References

Generations record what went into them, and that record travels with the asset into My Library. Most existing work is covered too, not just new generations.

The references section can say a generation used nothing, or that there is no record for that asset. Those are different things and it does not pretend otherwise. Click a reference to open it, and if it is a clip it plays.

Duplicating

Duplicating a card keeps its connections, and they land on the right inputs.
