FAQ & troubleshooting

How do I sign in?

Open vmotif.com/appand sign in with Google. Google is the only sign-in method, so there’s no password to set or reset.

Can I look around without an account?

Yes. Any public, shared workflow opens read-only without signing in — you can pan the canvas, inspect nodes, and copy outputs. You sign in when you want to build or run something of your own.

Do I need to install anything?

No. vmotif runs entirely in the browser. There’s no desktop app or CLI to set up.

A node failed or errored — what do I do?

Re-run it. A node that errors stays on the canvas with an error state, and re-running is usually all it takes — most failures are transient upstream hiccups. If a prompt keeps failing, try simplifying it, switching the model on that node, or checking that the inputs wired into it actually produced something.

Why was my generation blocked or rate-limited?

Two common reasons. First, generating a lot in a short window can briefly rate-limit you — wait a moment and try again. Second, image and video models apply their own content filters; if a prompt trips one, you’ll get a message explaining it rather than a silent failure. Rephrasing usually clears it.

Do independent steps run at the same time?

Yes. When you run a workflow, vmotif executes it in dependency order: a node waits for everything wired into it, but independent branches run in parallel, so you’re not waiting on unrelated steps.

Is there a free tier?

Browsing public workflows is free and needs no account. Running your own generations requires a plan — Pro at $25/mo or Team at $99/mo. See Plans & limits for what each includes.

What needs a paid plan?

The full model picker, animation capture, and video generation all run on Pro and Team. The same page breaks down exactly what’s gated.

Do unused generations roll over?

Yes — monthly generations roll over rather than expiring at the end of the cycle. You can switch between monthly and yearly billing, or cancel, anytime from the Stripe customer portal.

What can the code node produce?

Code nodes render TSX, JSX, TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, SVG, JSON, Markdown, and MDX with syntax highlighting. Copy the contents or download the file directly from the node.

What image sizes can I generate?

Generated images come back in 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, or 2:3. Some models support only a subset, and the picker shows what each one allows.

How do I export everything at once?

The download panel bundles the assets you select into a single ZIP — images in their original format, code as the right file extension, and captured motion as video.

What can the built-in agent do?

Describe what you want in the agent chat and it works on the canvas for you — creating nodes, connecting them, choosing a model per step, and running the workflow. It’s a conversational way to build, so you can steer and refine as it goes rather than wiring every node by hand.
