AI Director chat

Direct your video in plain words — change scenes, steer the Director mid-task, queue requests and stop a run.

The AI Director is the chat on the left of every Studio project. Tell it what you want in plain words and it does the work — revising concepts, changing scenes, rendering parts of the song — and explains what it's doing.

What you can ask

Change a scene — "In scene 3, make the lighting colder and add rain on the window."
Change the direction — "Darker, more cinematic, set at night."
Move the project on — "Render the rest of the song", "Render the final video".
Ask about the project — "How many credits do I have?", "How do I download my video?"

The suggestion chips above the message box change with the stage you're on. Chips marked ⚡ spend credits, and always ask you to confirm first.

Using suggestion chips, writing an instruction, and jumping to a stage from the chat

Point the Director at a scene

Hover a scene card and press Edit (pencil) — the scene is attached to your next message.
Or type @ in the message box and pick a scene, character, set, styling or prop.
Attach up to 3 reference images with the image button next to the send button.

Follow what it's doing

The Director's work folds behind a single line — "Working…", then "Worked for 1m 20s" — so the chat stays readable. Click the line to see each step. Cards in the chat (Analysis, Concepts, Storyboard) take you to that stage when clicked.

When it needs a decision, the line reads Needs your answer — pick an option (or Add your own answer) and press Submit answers.

Steer, queue or stop while it works

You don't have to wait for the Director to finish.

Type while it's busy and your message is queued — it's sent, in order, when the current turn ends ("Queued · sent in order after this turn").
Steer a queued message to have it go in after the current step instead ("Steering · goes in after this step"). Cancel steer puts it back in the queue.
Remove from queue drops a message you no longer need.
Stop ends the current run.

When you don't have enough credits

If a request costs more than your balance, the Director shows a Not enough credits card — "This needs X credits and you have Y."

Top Up Credits (or Upgrade Plan on the free plan) opens the top-up options without leaving the chat.
Generate the N I can afford renders just the scenes your balance covers, when the request is a batch of scene videos.
Once your balance covers it, the card says Your balance now covers it. — press Continue generating to pick up where you left off.
