Flow Helper for Google Flow, step by step

What you need

• Script Pro Elite 5.6.4 or newer with an active license. Flow Helper comes with Elite, inside the app: there is no separate download. On Standard, the app's Flow Helper screen shows what it does, and the Flow batch files work when you paste them into Flow yourself (the project's 00_READ_ME_FIRST.txt explains how).
• Google Chrome on your computer.
• A Google Flow account. The pictures are made in your own Flow account and count toward that account's Flow limits.
• An Image Beats project made by Script Pro Elite, with its Flow_Agent_Batches folder.

Install Flow Helper (once)

In Script Pro, click Flow Helper in the menu. The screen shows the same three steps:

1. Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode. In Chrome, type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter, then turn on Developer mode at the top right.
2. Click Load unpacked and choose the flow_helper folder. In Script Pro, click Open folder (or Copy path) to see where it is. In Chrome's window, go to that folder and click Select Folder.
3. Pin the helper. Click the puzzle icon in Chrome's toolbar, then the pin next to Tubeneur Flow Helper. Back in Script Pro, click Done - it is installed.

Chrome remembers the folder. When a Script Pro update brings a new Flow Helper, Script Pro tells you: open chrome://extensions and click the reload icon on Tubeneur Flow Helper.

Open Flow and load your project

1. Open a new project in Google Flow for this video, and open the agent panel on the right.
2. Find the helper panel at the bottom left of the Flow page. The helper icon in Chrome's toolbar takes you to your open Flow tab and shows the panel; it opens Flow only when no Flow tab is open, and never opens a second project.
3. Click Choose folder and pick the Flow_Agent_Batches folder inside your Script Pro project. The helper shows the batches it found.

Run your batches

1. Click Start. The helper puts the next batch into Flow's agent box and tells you with a sound and a notification.
2. Press Send (→) in Flow. The helper never presses it for you. It waits until every picture of the batch is made and named, checks the names, then puts in the next batch. The character batch always comes first.
3. A batch is never sent twice into the same Flow project, also after a page reload.
4. A picture missing or wrong? The helper stops and shows which scenes. With Fix scenes you type the scene numbers; the helper puts a remake of only those scenes into the agent box, and you press Send. The newest picture of a scene is the one that gets saved.

Tips. Don't reload the Flow tab while pictures are being made. If a batch was sent but Flow made no pictures, the helper says so after 2 minutes and offers Send again. If the helper can't read the picture names, switch Flow's grid to Batch view (grid settings → View mode → Batch).

Download, then edit

1. Click Download all images. All pictures are saved in one zip file in your Downloads folder, named after your project.
2. Inside the zip, the pictures are named Scene_001, Scene_002 and on (character pictures start with Character_). Pictures without a scene name go into an _unnamed folder, with a short list of what each one shows.
3. Edit your video. The scene numbers match your storyboard and voice-over script, so the pictures drop into CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci in the right order.
