“It’s time, and she is running out of it”
Made end to end in Magnific, by our own crew
Two record-store clerks. One stray dog with a red bandana. A pizza truck called Slice King. SLICE is a two-minute AI short film generated end to end on Magnific: video with Seedance 2.5, character and set references with Seedream, original score and sound effects with ElevenLabs, edit and 4K upscale in DaVinci Resolve.
Three 30-second clips, a closing clip and a title card, each handing the next one a locked frame at 29.15 seconds. Dialogue with a Queens accent and an LA accent at a natural pace. Zero music in any generation. The score came later, after ten attempts to get the tone right.
Written, directed and generated by Alejandro Pereira.
Magnific now runs as native nodes inside ComfyUI. Generate images and video, upscale, remove backgrounds, retouch and relight — without leaving your graph.
Install the plugin and search "Magnific" in the node menu: Generate, Upscale, Remove Background, Reframe, Relight and Retouch, all in your workflow. Available on every plan. Each node shows its credit cost before it runs.
Setup guide: be.magnific.com/4xy3RrD
On Mac it goes further: native actions for Shortcuts. Build the workflow you want, right-click, add it to the dock. Give it an icon. Now it runs like any other app, and the render lands straight in the folder you picked.

Your session doesn't reset on you. Tabs remember what you were doing, so you reopen the app and land exactly where you left it. And when a long render finishes, you know right away, whatever app you're in.

This one is about staying in control of it. Choose which file types sync, set a max file size, cap the folder, and get a warning before you hit the limit.

A lot has shipped in Magnific over the last few months. New video models. Deeper workflows. Integrations that changed how people work inside the platform. Some of it landed loud. Some of it went in quietly and rewired the way Magnific works underneath.
We're going to walk through all of it together. What we built, what we learned, what we killed, and where the platform is heading next.
Hosting the session: Martin LeBlanc (CXO at Freepik) and Sofia López (Head of Social at Magnific).
Magnific Desktop brings every tool — image, video, audio, 3D and design — into one focused app for macOS and Windows. Same account. Same Spaces. Same creations. Without twenty browser tabs fighting for your attention.

Explore short film narrative using Wan 3.0
One face. 22 years. Three ages. Thirteen scenes that never break character.
Wan 3.0 is now on Magnific. We made this to test one thing: whether a character can hold across decades without drifting. No recasting, no reference swaps, no scene where the face quietly becomes someone else.
Watch ours. Then make yours.
Seedance 2.5 just dropped, and it changes what AI video generation can do: 30 seconds of uninterrupted video from a single generation, consistent characters without being told, and text overlays that finally hold up. We put the new model through 6 tests to find its strengths, its weaknesses, and its breaking point.
What we found: Seedance 2.5 is exceptional at character consistency and on-screen text. High-action scenes still need to be broken into smaller shots, and product consistency improves with more references. Everything you see was made with one prompt per clip unless marked as edited.
Seedance 2.5 is available now on Magnific.

Kendrick Robinson is eighteen, broke, and out of options. His little sister Nia has a lung disease with a cure that costs more than his family will earn in a decade. All he has is a black card and the certainty that there's no other way out. Behind the doors of The Black Box, the world's deadliest fighting league, an experiment decades in the making is waiting for him.
The Black Box is a Magnific Originals miniseries — five episodes, written, produced, and finished entirely with Magnific's own tools. This episode went from script to final cut in 74 hours, powered by Seedance 2.5: image, video, character consistency, upscaling, and audio, all in one place.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to take an existing Spaces workflow, expose the inputs that matter, and package everything into a Flow so anyone can run it without touching the canvas. Define the inputs your users provide, connect them to your nodes, and let the Flow generate full outputs automatically.
Build once, run endlessly. Share your Flow with your team or your audience and let them create on top of your workflow — every single time.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to add the Designer node to your canvas, connect upstream nodes so images and text flow straight into your design, and bind that content to placeholders — so every element re-renders automatically when your workflow inputs change.
Build multi-page layouts with full typography control, pro-grade image adjustments, and effects. Then send finished pages downstream for animation, upscaling, or export.
Design once. Run it as many times as your ideas demand.

What would you create if the whole process moved with your instinct?
Agents
Your vision. Your brief. Your standards. Design your own agent, and it carries the context of your project. Your team's decisions, your direction, all the way through. What comes back is a workflow you can see, change, and run again.
MCP
From Magnific or from the AI client you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, and more. Every Magnific capability is right where you already work. Your generations save automatically, and nothing gets left behind.
Flows
Your workflow, sharp and repeatable. Build your workflow once and share it with your team. Or edit one that feels like yours.
The work you've already done keeps working for you.
