Spaces Overview
Plan a film on one board: cards hold the pieces, wires carry them forward, and nothing renders until you press Generate.
Spaces is one board where you plan a film. Each card holds one piece, like a picture, a line of text or a video clip. Wires carry pieces from one card into the next. Nothing renders until you press Generate on a card, so you can plan the whole board first.
