00:19 - 00:23

worlds but also what other people are

00:21 - 00:25

creating you can create portals to your

00:23 - 00:27

own worlds and then you can choose

00:25 - 00:28

whether they're public or private um

00:27 - 00:31

it's all about that collaborative

00:28 - 00:33

storytelling vibe already getting ideas

00:31 - 00:35

okay how do we actually create in this

00:33 - 00:37

world I keep hearing about this this

00:35 - 00:39

toolbox yeah the toolbox that's kind of

00:37 - 00:40

your command center right let's look it

00:39 - 00:42

on the left side of your screen and it

00:40 - 00:45

has all these tools that let you

00:42 - 00:49

generate like all the building blocks of

00:45 - 00:51

Your Story characters factions can you

00:49 - 00:52

select multiple scraps at once like if

00:51 - 00:55

you want to move a whole bunch yeah of

00:52 - 00:57

course drag a box around them

00:55 - 01:00

okay now you can fill in all the details

00:57 - 01:03

yourself obviously but and here's where

01:00 - 01:06

the AI magic kicks in you can use this

01:03 - 01:08

feature uh it's called tell me more tell

01:06 - 01:09

me more it's like having a brainstorming

01:08 - 01:12

partner who's also like a superpowered

01:09 - 01:14

research assistant just give a little

01:12 - 01:16

nudge and it could help you flesh out

01:14 - 01:18

your ideas based on what's already in

01:16 - 01:20

your world hold on so the AI will

01:18 - 01:22

actually help me create characters

01:20 - 01:24

that's wild okay but before we get too

01:22 - 01:27

deep into all the AI stuff once you've

01:24 - 01:29

selected a scrap or a group of scraps

01:27 - 01:30

you'll see what they call an action bar

01:29 - 01:33

appear above them okay that's where the

01:30 - 01:35

real magic happens it offers a bunch of

01:33 - 01:38

context sensitive actions one of the

01:35 - 01:40

most impressive actions is called Paint

01:38 - 01:42

and it lets you generate images directly

01:40 - 01:44

within Patchwork no need to go to a

01:42 - 01:47

separate program for that nope that's

01:44 - 01:49

handy it really works on text grabs but

01:47 - 01:52

any images that are also selected can

01:49 - 01:54

influence the generation as well so like

01:52 - 01:56

I could select a character description

01:54 - 01:58

and then also like an image with a

01:56 - 02:00

specific art style that I like and it'll

01:58 - 02:02

try to blend those together exactly

02:00 - 02:05

are there other ways to kind of

02:02 - 02:08

fine-tune that image generation process

02:05 - 02:10

you can also use uh what they call style

02:08 - 02:13

reference scraps and character reference

02:10 - 02:19

scraps so you can go even deeper

02:13 - 02:19
