Description

enhancement triage/needs-design
Problem

When creating short-form video ads, I often iterate on many visual elements such as VFX, GIFs, emojis, SVGA animations, stickers, and text.

Currently, making precise adjustments usually requires switching between the Preview canvas and the Inspector/Properties panel. This creates a lot of context switching during rapid iteration.

Proposed solution

Allow direct editing from the preview canvas, and integrate a configurable agent chat window. In the window, you can @-mention selected assets or any element in the scene, and automatically inject the relevant error or warning information that needs to be modified.
