Cubric Vision - Prompt Box

Prompt Box

The Prompt Box is where you choose the model, operation, prompt text, media inputs, and generation controls for the next Cue.

Compact and expanded modes

The Prompt Box opens in its compact mode by default. Compact mode keeps one prompt line visible so the Gallery can stay focused on media.

Use the small arrow at the top center of the Prompt Box to switch to expanded mode. When expanded mode is active, the arrow is rose-pink and the prompt field gives you more room for longer text.

Cubric Vision Prompt Box in expanded mode with a larger prompt text area — Expanded mode is useful when you are writing or editing longer prompts.

Positive and negative prompts

The default text field is the positive prompt. Use the prompt mode button on the left side of the text field to switch to the negative prompt, then describe what the model should avoid.

Prompt Box with negative prompt mode active and the negative prompt field visible — Negative prompt mode uses the same text area, but stores separate negative prompt text for the generation.

Add media from the Gallery

Drag a Gallery image or video onto the Prompt Box when you want to use that media as the source for a prompt operation. The Prompt Box adds the dropped item as a media input, then filters the available operations to the ones that can run with that media type.

For example, an image input can unlock image-to-image, upscale, or masked detail operations when the selected model supports them. A video input can unlock video operations such as extend or video-oriented tools when those operations are available.

Reuse previous prompts

Use Reuse Prompt when you want to continue from a previous generation without rebuilding the Prompt Box by hand. Reuse Prompt can copy prompt text, generation settings, model choice, and media inputs from an earlier Gallery card or History entry.

The default reuse behavior is controlled from Settings. Turn on Ask each time when you want Cubric Vision to show a chooser before it transfers anything into the Prompt Box.

Cubric Vision Settings with Reuse Prompt Ask each time enabled — Ask each time makes each reuse action explicit, so you decide what should be copied into the Prompt Box for that run.

In the Gallery, use Reuse Prompt from the card controls when you want to start a new Cue from an existing card. If Ask each time is enabled, the chooser opens before the Prompt Box is updated.

In History, hover an entry to access Reuse Prompt for that exact output. This is useful when a later branch is not the one you want to continue from.

Choose model and operation

Click the current model and operation control to open the Prompt Box options panel. The model menu lists installed models, and the operation menu shows what the selected model can do.

Unavailable operations remain visible but disabled when their requirements are not met. Upscale needs an image input. Detail needs an image input and an active mask. This makes the menu a quick checklist of what the current setup can run.

Prompt Box operation menu with unavailable operations disabled — Disabled operations show that the selected model supports the operation, but the Prompt Box is missing the required input or mask.

Model settings

Use the cog beside the model selector to open model settings. This is where model-wide choices such as upscale models and LoRAs are selected for the active model.

LoRA and upscale model folders are configured from Settings. Once Cubric Vision knows those folders, the model settings overlay lets you pick from the installed files while you work.

Prompt controls

The lower controls in the options panel change with the selected model and operation. Image operations can show ratio and batch controls. Upscale can show upscale factor, grid, and denoise controls. Video operations can show quality, duration, motion, ratio, and resumable video controls.

Prompt Box ratio selector with image ratio choices — Ratio controls define the output shape for operations that generate a new image or video frame size.

Prompt Box batch selector for choosing how many images to create per run — Batch controls set how many outputs one Cue creates for operations that support batches.

Prompt Box upscale operation controls — Upscale controls appear when an upscale-capable operation is selected.

Prompt Box video generation controls including duration and video-specific options — Video models expose video-specific controls such as duration, motion, quality, and ratio.

Hold Tab to open the radial operation menu. In the Gallery, the radial menu uses the same current model and media context as the Prompt Box operation menu, so it only offers operations that are available for the current setup.

In History, the radial menu is especially useful after preparing a mask. For example, paint or auto-detect a mask, hold Tab, choose Detail, and continue directly into the prompt controls for the masked operation.

Radial operation menu opened from the Gallery with one available operation — The radial menu is a fast operation picker. It mirrors the Prompt Box operation availability.

Cue and Loop

Click Cue to add the current Prompt Box state to the in-app queue. Cubric Vision snapshots the prompt, model, operation, media inputs, and current controls when you Cue the job.

Hold the Cue button for about a second to arm Loop. Loop keeps triggering generations from the latest Prompt Box state while it is active, so you can keep editing the prompt, switching settings, or trying model options as outputs arrive. Click the Loop button again to turn Loop off.

Use the separate Queue page for the Cue side panel, job review, stop, cancel, and clear controls.

Prompt Box with Loop mode active — When Loop is active, the Prompt Box keeps firing new generations until Loop is turned off.

Resumable videos

Some video operations can run in a resumable two-stage mode. Turn on the resumable video control before you Cue the video. The first stage creates a lower-resolution preview card so you can review the motion before committing to the final pass.

A preview card is not a finished video, so opening it does not take you to the History page. Use the check button to finish the video in place, continuing from the preview stage. Use the branching button to create a separate final card while keeping the preview available for another second-stage attempt.

Branching is useful when you want to change LoRAs or other model settings after seeing the motion preview, then compare several final-stage results from the same first stage.

Prompt Box video options with resumable video mode toggled on — Enable resumable video mode from the video options before Cueing the generation.
