Choose the starting material
Start from text when the scene is open. Use an image reference when composition or subject appearance is already established. Select the relevant reference mode in Studio.
Video / Video Generator
Start with a frame.
Think in motion.
Develop a video from a written scene or a visual starting point, with direction that explains what changes over time.
A still image describes a moment. A video brief also needs movement, pacing, and an ending. Start from a written scene or an existing image, then give the subject and camera a clear reason to move.
Your inputs, directions, and versions stay together in Studio.

Choose your starting point
Different inputs. One video tool.
Text and reference workflows explain how you begin, without turning every use case into another sidebar item.
01
Text to Video
Describe a scene, subject action, camera movement, and how the shot should resolve.
02Images to Video
Use an image to anchor the visual idea and focus the brief on motion.
03Reference to Video
Start with image, audio, or video references, including Talking Face, motion direction, and boundary frames.
04Continue a clip
Start from an existing ending and direct the next part of the sequence.
Connected workflows
Made for more than one idea.
A considered workflow
Direct the shot, not just the look.
Give each instruction a role: subject, camera, environment, or timing.
Describe a clear progression
Say what the subject does, what the camera does, and what should remain stable. Keep the requested actions compatible with a single coherent shot.
Watch from start to finish
Inspect the opening, movement, and ending, not only the best frame. Look for changing identity, unstable geometry, unwanted cuts, and audio behavior where audio is part of the workflow.
Make the brief do the work
Movement needs a sentence of its own.
Separate the appearance of the scene from its motion so the intention is easy to inspect.
Example direction
An intimate editorial portrait in soft window light. The subject turns gently toward the camera and settles into a relaxed expression. Slow camera push-in, restrained movement, stable background. Finish on a calm held pose without a cut.
This is an example creative brief, not a record of the sample media’s generation settings.
01
Separate subject motion from camera motion
A subject turning and a camera orbiting are different instructions, even though both change the view of a face. Specify each only when it contributes to the shot.
For an initial test, try one subject action and one simple camera behavior. Add environmental motion later if it helps the scene rather than obscuring what you are evaluating.
03
Choose the next workflow deliberately
If the shot needs more time, explore Video Extender. If an existing clip needs a visual change, explore Video Edit. If the concept is fundamentally wrong, revise the generation brief.
Do not use an extra generation step to solve a simple selection problem. Decide which part of the existing result is worth keeping before continuing.
The useful details
A few good
questions.
Is Reference to Video a separate tool?
No. It is a mode within Video Generator. Its more specific workflows can have their own explanatory pages without becoming separate main-navigation tools.
Where does Talking Face belong?
Under Video Generator, then Reference to Video, then Talking Face. It describes a photo-and-audio workflow rather than a separate main tool.
Does every video mode support audio?
Do not assume that. Audio inputs and outputs depend on the connected workflow. This overview does not advertise unsupported combinations.
Can I specify duration and resolution here?
The actual options and credit quote belong in the existing Studio workflow. This overview does not set processing limits or submit a generation job.
