Generate a shot in Video Studio

Video Studio is where you make one clip with full control. Generate Shots (later) runs the same models over a whole shot list; learn the controls here first.

Pick a mode

The Mode tabs decide what the model starts from:

Mode	You give it	Use it for
Text	A prompt	Exploring an idea
Image	A First frame	Animating a storyboard frame or a still you like
First/Last	First frame and Last frame	A move between two exact compositions
Reference	Reference images, Reference videos, Reference audio	Keeping a character, place or motion consistent

Which modes you see depends on the model. In Reference mode, cite the files in your prompt as [Image1], [Video1] and so on.

Write the shot, then set the camera

Write the prompt like a shot-list row: subject, one action, setting, light. Then use the Camera panel rather than describing the camera in words: Shot size, Angle, Movement, Speed, Lens, Anamorphic. Clear resets it.

Turn on Apply project look if you've set one up (track 3 covers this), and use Elements to add characters and locations from Cast & Elements.

Choose a model and settings

The right column has Model (badges show "Native audio", how many reference images it takes and its maximum length) and Settings: Aspect ratio, Resolution, Duration, Seed, Generate audio and Fixed camera.

Check the cost, then generate

The cost panel shows Cost and Balance after. Video is priced per second, so duration matters more than anything else. A few things change the price:

• Reference videos multiply Seedance 2.5's price by about 4 (reference images don't).
• Turning Generate audio off is cheaper on Kling 3.0 and Veo 3.1.
• With your own Replicate key saved in Settings, the cost shows Your own key and MoviePro charges nothing.

Click Generate video. The result is saved to your media library with Download, View in history and Publish to community.

Iterate one thing at a time

If the shot is close, change one setting or one line of the prompt and generate again. Changing everything at once makes it impossible to tell what helped. The form is kept as a draft, so you can reload without losing it.
