Key Concepts

Three ideas unlock everything else in AI Video Studio: nodes, connections, and generation.

Nodes

A node is a self-contained content unit. Each one holds a single piece of content — a block of text, an image, a video clip, or an audio clip — and has its own generation panel for creating that content with an AI model.

There are four node types: Text, Image, Video, and Audio.

Connections

Connections carry content, not instructions. Link an Image Node to a Video Node and the image itself travels downstream as a reference frame — the model sees what you made, not just a description of it.

Content flows one direction only: left (upstream) to right (downstream). A node can receive input from several upstream nodes at once.

Generation

Every node has a generation panel where you write a prompt, pick a model, and generate. Upstream content arrives automatically — text joins your prompt, images and videos appear as numbered references.

Each generation costs credits, always shown on the Generate button before you confirm. If a generation fails, credits are refunded.
