The Studio is where ideas become video. It is a free-form creative playground with five modes - Video, Image, Music, Voiceover, and Avatar - but this post focuses on the one you will use most: Video.
The Studio in single-video mode
A single video
Model: Veo 3.1 (4K) - 200 credits per video
Text to Video: describe the shot you want, generate from the prompt alone
Image to Video: upload up to 3 product or person images to keep them visually consistent. Refer to each in your prompt by name ("the bag", "the person"). Note: adding images locks the duration to 8 seconds
AI Director: optional one-tap direction for genre, style, and camera - or leave all three on Auto
Aspect ratio: 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for square feeds
Duration: 4s, 6s, or 8s
Write the prompt like you are briefing a camera crew: subject, action, setting, light, mood. Hit Generate Video and the result appears in the Output panel and in your History.
Multi-scene mode: plan a whole reel
Click Plan multi-scene video and the Scene Planner opens. Describe the video you want in one line - for example, "3-scene Instagram reel selling this kurta to young women aged 20-35" - then:
Pick 2 to 8 scenes
Choose the platform: Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn
Click Plan it
Multi-scene mode with the Scene Planner open
The planner turns your one-liner into a scene-by-scene storyboard - hook first, product in focus, a script in the language your customers speak. From there you review each scene, regenerate the ones you don't love, and merge the keepers into a finished video. That review-and-merge flow is the next post.
