API referenceScenes
Add an element to a scene
Append one element — motion design, an image, or a text box — to an existing composition.
SPENDS CREDITS: the new line goes through the scene-generation path, which compiles, persists, and dispatches a resolve job. Asynchronous; poll the scene. Contrast PATCH on the same path, which edits existing elements for free.
