    Media pipelines for automatic images

    A media pipeline is a reusable image recipe. Attached to a channel, it automatically creates a matching image for every new post.

    Overview of media pipelines with your own pipelines and templates

    What is this about?

    If you publish regularly, you don’t want to create every image individually. A media pipeline defines once how images for a channel should look: base prompt with placeholders, format, AI engine and optionally reference images such as your logo. If you attach the pipeline to a channel and switch on automatic media generation, ALLMEDIA.AI creates a matching image after each post creation and sets it as the post image.

    Prerequisites

    • At least the Editor role.
    • Credits. Each pipeline run uses credits, including previews and test images.

    Step by step

    1. Open media pipelines. In the navigation, choose Workflows → Media Pipelines. The OWN PIPELINES tab lists your pipelines, the TEMPLATES tab ready-made templates.
    2. Create a new pipeline. Click New Pipeline. Choose Create yourself or Choose from templates. You can also take over a template directly in the TEMPLATES tab via Copy.
    3. Draft with Amy. With Create yourself, “Create a media pipeline” opens. Choose Choose template or Tell me about it and describe what you need, optionally with an example image. Click Generate pipeline. Amy builds a draft with output, format, base prompt and AI engine.
    4. Review the draft. Adjust the base prompt, add reference images (role Logo, Product or Reference / face) and choose a test post for the placeholders. With Render sample you see a result. Save with Looks good — save or open the full editor with Tweak details.
    5. Attach the pipeline to the channel. Open the channel and then the channel canvas, and switch to Workflow mode at the top. In the Media Pipelines („Medien-Pipelines“) building block you select one or more pipelines.
    6. Switch on automation. In the same building block, switch on Automatic media generation. From now on, every linked pipeline creates an image after post creation.

    Options at a glance

    In the full editor (“Create Media Pipeline”, also via Expert mode) you set:

    • MEDIA TYPE: Image or Video.
    • EXECUTION TYPE: AI Engine (internal generation) or External Webhook (your own service, for example n8n).
    • ENGINE: Image models from OpenAI (GPT Image), Google (Nano Banana) and FLUX; for video, HeyGen avatar videos.
    • BASE PROMPT: Your prompt with placeholders that are filled automatically during the run, for example {{post.title}}, {{post.content}}, {{channel.name}}, {{brand_voice.tonality}}, {{target_audience.name}} or {{workspace.primary_color}}. Via the brand building blocks Insert brand identity and Insert logo you insert the brand’s imagery, colors, fonts and logo.
    • DIMENSIONS (IMAGE): Width and height in pixels. For video, the DURATION (VIDEO).
    • REFERENCE IMAGES: Up to 3 images such as logos or product photos that are sent with every generation. Only for Gemini engines.
    • Generate test image: Creates a test image with the current settings, which you can save to the media library or use as a preview image.

    On each pipeline card you find Edit, Generate preview, Duplicate and Delete.

    How the automation works

    1. A post is created in a channel with an attached pipeline.
    2. For each linked pipeline, the base prompt is supplemented with the title and the beginning of the post content.
    3. The image is created, saved in the Gallery and set as the post image. You get a notification.

    You can also start a pipeline manually: in the Gallery via AI Studio → Media Pipeline.

    Tips

    • Test a new pipeline with Render sample or Generate preview before switching on the automation. Both use credits.
    • Some platforms additionally crop images in their preview. Choose the format to match the channel.
    • If the pipeline delivers unsuitable subjects, describe specific image content in the base prompt and explicitly exclude what you don’t want.
    • If several pipelines are attached to the channel, each runs individually and uses its own credits.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where do I find the media pipelines? I don’t see them in the settings.

    Media pipelines are in the main menu under Workflows → Media Pipelines. The old path in the settings redirects there.

    Is the image published automatically?

    No. The image is set as the post image. The post is published as usual according to your approval and publishing process.
