Autessa Video Studio features
Every feature of the Video Studio AI video generator
Autessa Video Studio covers the whole job: script writing and scene planning, AI images and your own media, pacing and motion, AI voiceover and music, word-timed captions and rendering, and sharing, ready to use from your first script.
Every video moves through five stages.
Reel 1 of 6
Script and story
Every Video Studio video starts as words: brainstorm them with AI, paste your own, or begin from photos, and Video Studio turns them into scenes without rewriting a line.
Overview of script and story →
AI script brainstorm
Autessa Video Studio includes an AI script writer: chat on the left, the live script document on the right, with a Small, Medium or Large model to choose from.
Read more →Bring your own script
Video Studio turns a pasted script into a video and keeps your exact words: scenes are split from the text, never rewritten.
Read more →Start from images
Video Studio can make a video from photos alone: each image becomes a scene with its own on-screen caption and hold time, with no script and no voiceover required.
Read more →Scene Planner
The Video Studio Scene Planner cuts a script into scenes with an image prompt for each, never rewrites your words, and re-cuts on request with guidance like "choppier".
Read more →Scene editor
In Video Studio the scene list and the script stay in sync: insert, reorder, edit or delete a scene and the script updates, with Enhance with AI on every field.

Images and visuals
Video Studio gives every scene a picture: AI images grounded on one character reference, your own photos and clips matched by AI, or free stock photos and video.
Overview of images and visuals →
AI scene images
Video Studio generates an AI image for each scene from an editable prompt, adds your style automatically, and shows each image as it lands.
Read more →Character reference
Video Studio grounds every AI image on one character reference, a hand-drawn stick figure by default or your own image, so scenes look like one video.
Read more →Shots and takes
Every Video Studio scene keeps its takes: generate new ones, pick the best, and split long scenes into numbered shots that each have their own takes.
Read more →Your photos and clips
Video Studio takes your own photos and video clips and can match each one to the scene it fits best with AI in one step.
Read more →Free stock photos and video
Video Studio searches free stock photos and video from Unsplash and Pexels right in the scene and keeps the attribution with each shot.
Read more →Reel 3 of 6
Pacing and motion
Short videos die when a shot sits too long. Video Studio adds Ken Burns motion, proposes extra shots for long scenes, and lets you set the breath between scenes.
Overview of pacing and motion →
Ken Burns motion
Video Studio adds Ken Burns motion to stills: Auto, Zoom in, Zoom out or directional pans, chosen per scene.
Read more →Smart pacing
Video Studio smart pacing checks every scene against your "new image every N seconds" target and proposes extra shots with drafted visual prompts.
Read more →Pauses between scenes
Video Studio adds a pause between scenes, 0 to 3 seconds project-wide with per-scene overrides, so fast AI voices get room to breathe.
Read more →Reel 4 of 6
Voiceover and audio
Video Studio voices every scene separately, with an AI voice, your own recorded voice or an uploaded track, and lays mood-matched music underneath that ducks under the words.
Overview of voiceover and audio →
AI voiceover
Video Studio generates AI voiceover scene by scene with a voice picker and previews, so you can redo one scene without re-voicing the video.
Read more →Record your narration
Video Studio lets you record your own voiceover scene by scene with a teleprompter, retake any line, and times the video to your voice.
Read more →Upload a narration track
Video Studio accepts a finished narration track in MP3, M4A or WAV and aligns scenes and captions to it, or runs with no voiceover at all.
Read more →Voiceover version history
Video Studio keeps earlier voiceover versions for every scene so you can play them back and restore one for free.
Read more →Background music
Video Studio adds royalty-free background music grouped by mood, or your own track, and automatically lowers it under the voice.
Read more →Reel 5 of 6
Captions and finishing
Video Studio times captions to the exact words of your script, styles them to match your brand, and renders a vertical MP4 with clean and captioned versions and caption files.
Overview of captions and finishing →
Word-timed captions
Video Studio times captions to the exact words of your script against the voiceover, so captions never misspell what you wrote.
Read more →Caption styles
Video Studio offers bold, social-ready caption styles, Shout, TikTok, TikTok Yellow, Outline, Subtle and Karaoke, previewed before you render.
Read more →Finishing room
The Video Studio finishing room previews the cut scene by scene with music and caption controls beside it, so the last fixes happen in one place.
Read more →Render and downloads
Video Studio renders a 1080x1920 MP4 for free and hands you a captioned cut, a clean cut, .srt and .ass caption files and a .zip of everything.
