1

Open the source PSD

Open the episode's PSD in Photoshop and find Toonflow under the top Plugins menu to open the panel. If you leave several PSD tabs open, Automation processes them in order — up to 10 at a time.

Choose a preset

Pick a saved per-title preset or create a new one. See the preset guide for details.

How Process runs

Click Run Automation and the four steps — Detection → Recognition → Translation → Typesetting — run in order in a single pass. You can also run each step on its own; see the per-step pages in the sidebar for detailed settings.

Processing time and credits

Processing takes about a minute per episode, longer for titles with heavy dialogue and sound effects. Credits are deducted as each step completes, and the estimated cost is shown before you run. Anything that fails to generate isn't charged.
