Nodaro DocsTone
Write a tone once, such as cinematic, cheerful or dark and moody, and share it with the image, video and script nodes you connect it to.
The Tone node holds a short description of the tone you want, such as cinematic, cheerful or dark and moody. Connect it to the Look input of image and video nodes, and each one adds the tone to the end of its prompt when it runs. One Tone node can feed many nodes, so a whole project shares the same tone without repeating the words in every prompt.
When to use it
- Give every image and video of a storyboard the same tone.
- Try the same scenes in another tone by changing one node.
- Add your own words to many prompts at once, when no picker in the catalog says what you want.
Quick start
Add the node
Press Tab on the canvas and choose Models › Generation Settings › Tone.
Write the tone
In the settings panel, type the Tone, for example warm, nostalgic, golden-hour lighting.
Connect it
Connect the Tone node to the Look input of Generate Image or Generate Video, or to the Tone input of Generate Script. One Tone node can feed as many nodes as you like.
Run the connected nodes
Each connected node adds the tone to the end of its prompt when it runs.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tone | Free text that describes the tone, for example dramatic, playful or corporate professional. Empty by default. |
The node has no Prompt hint toggle. Its text is added exactly as written.
What it connects to
| Node | Input | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Generate Image | Look | The tone is added to the end of the prompt, like the wording of a picker. |
| Generate Video | Look | The same, for the video prompt. |
| Generate Script | Tone | Sets the tone of the whole script, up to 200 characters, in place of the one typed in its panel. |
| Camera Motion and Transition | Start state or End state | The tone becomes part of the sentence that describes the start or the end of the move. |
The tone is skipped when the prompt already names the Tone node as a prompt variable, such as {Tone}, so the words are not added twice.
The other Generation Settings nodes connect to other inputs. For example, Provider, Aspect Ratio, Duration and Motion connect to the Settings input of Generate Video and Generate Video Pro. Provider and Aspect Ratio also connect to the Settings input of Generate Image.
Tips
- Be specific. A short phrase with detail, such as
warm, nostalgic, golden-hour lighting, works better than one word. - Use one Tone node per project. Connect it to every image and video node that should share the tone.
- Use pickers for tested wording. For a catalog mood, use the Mood picker, and keep Tone for your own words.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the Tone node with Generate Image?
Connect the Tone node to the Look input of Generate Image or Generate Video. The tone text is added to the end of the prompt when the node runs.
Can Tone set the tone of Generate Script?
Yes. Connect the Tone node to the Tone input of Generate Script. The script uses up to 200 characters of it, and still needs a Text node on its Prompt input for the topic.
How should I write a tone?
Keep it short but specific. "Warm, nostalgic, golden-hour lighting" gives a model more to work with than the single word "warm".
What is the difference between Tone and the Mood picker?
Mood adds tested wording from a catalog of 51 moods. Tone adds your own words exactly as you write them.
Does the Tone node cost credits?
No. It only holds text and never runs a model. You pay for the nodes that use it.
