AI scene images
Autessa Video Studio generates an AI image for every scene. Each image comes from the scene's editable prompt plus your style, grounded on one character reference, and appears on the grid as soon as it is ready.
The problem
Stock footage rarely says what your script says
Script-to-video tools often fill scenes with loosely matching stock clips, so a line about "ten emails" shows a generic office. Video Studio draws each scene from its own prompt, in one consistent style, so the picture matches the words.
Where it happens
What you get
- One AI image per scene, generated from the scene's image prompt.
- Your style is added automatically, such as the stick-figure doodle style.
- Thumbnails fade in one by one as each image finishes.
- Regenerate any image, and the editable prompt opens first so you can change what it shows.
- Failed images show an inline retry; slow ones say "Taking longer than usual…".
- Images are vertical, framed for a 9:16 video.

AI assist
Where AI helps here
Images come from your company's image-generation tool, the same one your agents can use. Every generated image is one AI task, and the estimate is shown before you generate.
Video Studio runs on Autessa's own AI models and shows an AI task estimate before every step that uses AI.
