Practical advice for getting the best results from YarnSaga.

Writing Great Scene Descriptions

The quality of your scene description directly determines the quality of the generated panel. Vague prompts produce vague results.

Include:

• Who — mention characters with /
• What — the action or emotion of the scene
• Where — setting details (indoor, outdoor, time of day)
• Mood — lighting, atmosphere, color tone
• Camera angle — close-up, wide shot, bird's eye view, dramatic low angle

Character Consistency

• Always mention characters using the / dropdown — never type their name manually without the reference
• Generate the character's portrait image in the Characters tab before using them in scenes
• If a character looks wrong in a panel, regenerate — consistency improves across multiple generations
• Very specific appearance descriptions (including clothing details) produce more consistent results

Editor Tips

• Use Flip Horizontal on speech bubbles to point the tail toward the speaker's position
• Hold the rotation handle and drag slowly for precise rotation control
• Set your page background color and panel gap in Story Settings before adding content — it affects the overall look significantly
• Add a text overlay with the story title and your name on the cover page before publishing

Workflow Tips

• Plan before generating — sketch out your story beats first. AI generation costs credits; knowing what you want before clicking Generate saves them.
• Add all characters first — create and generate portraits for all major characters before writing any scenes. This gives the AI the best reference set upfront.
• Work page by page — finish one page before moving to the next. This keeps your creative flow consistent and makes it easier to spot visual inconsistencies early.
• Generate the cover last — once you know your story's tone and have panels to reference, you'll write a better cover description.
