Studio chat
Studio chat is a conversational way to drive the same pipeline the wizards drive. It’s an addition, not a replacement: anything it makes lands in your library as an ordinary script or video.
Where it appears
Section titled “Where it appears”| Where | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Everything |
| Videos, in the describe bar | Everything |
| Scripts, in the describe bar | Scripts only |
| Step 1 of any video flow | Scripts only |
The narrowed version is deliberate: inside step 1, the panel can write and revise a script and hand it to the flow you’re already in. It can’t cut a video or send you somewhere else, because you’re mid-flow.
Asking for things
Section titled “Asking for things”Paste a link, drop a file, or just describe what you want. The composer also has four quick settings (Brand kit, Aspect ratio, Duration and Style), so you can say “60 seconds, conversational, my brand” without typing it.
What it can do, in plain terms:
Scripts
- Read a link and tell you what’s in it before you commit
- Write a script from a URL, pasted text, an uploaded document, or just a brief
- Revise one conversationally: punchier hook, cut it to 45 seconds, drop the jargon
- Replace the text verbatim when you’d rather write it yourself
Videos
- Cut a video from a script, with AI voiceover, b-roll, captions and graphics
- Work on footage you attached, turning on only the layers you asked for
- Tell you how far along something is
- Show you the cut, then change it: bigger captions, drop the music, swap that clip, different brand colours, retime a beat
Finding things
- What brand kits and caption styles do I have?
- What voices are there?
- Show me my recent scripts and videos
Handing off
- Give you a link into the teleprompter with the script preloaded
- Show you the layout catalogue as cards that open the right flow
The render gate
Section titled “The render gate”In the app, the chat never renders a file. It builds a cut you can watch and stops there. The preview card shows a poster, a Version N line, the ratio and duration, and a Render final video button.
Only you can press it. The assistant can’t.
The reason is straightforward: encoding before you’ve looked at a frame buys nothing, and your first edit throws it away. So a video sitting at planned after a chat is a success, not a failure.
Editing, and version history
Section titled “Editing, and version history”Ask for a change and the assistant reads the current cut, applies named operations to it, and pins a fresh preview card to that turn.
Earlier cards keep playing the version that was current when they were posted, so the thread is the history. Scroll up to see what the video looked like three changes ago, and press play.
Changes are validated before they’re written. An edit that would break the cut writes nothing rather than producing something unplayable.
When something fails
Section titled “When something fails”Failures surface in one panel with a plain-language line, the raw pipeline text folded away in case you want it, and whichever recovery fits: Try again, Open in editor, or the preview’s own render button.
Getting back to an old conversation
Section titled “Getting back to an old conversation”Past chats, in the composer toolbar. It’s the only route back. Starting a new chat doesn’t lose the old one, but nothing else links to it.
