Media Studio: recipes

How to use this page

Every recipe has the same shape: what it is for → what to prepare → the steps → a prompt you can copy → what you get → where to see one that is finished. Replace the bracketed parts of a prompt with your own. The examples come from Get inspired on the home page; each opens as a read-only board where View conversation shows the original chat and Copy & continue copies the project into your workspace as a starting point.

One cost-saving order runs through almost every recipe: answer the agent's first questions → lock the references (product, cast, style connected) → stills or a storyboard first → video second → the composer last.

1. Product ad / TVC (15–60 s)

For: one product shot or a product page → a finished ad with a mood and an ending. Prepare: a clean product shot, the benefit in one line, length and aspect. Steps:

1. Start here → Promotional ad on the home page, or attach the Product Ad Director / AIGC TVC Director skill; upload the product shot.
2. Answer the first round (audience, platform, length, tone). The agent proposes a creative direction and a storyboard (a 25-cell storyboard or beat grid) before it shoots.
3. The product shot is connected as a reference to every shot node — that is what keeps the product from drifting. Generate shot by shot; fix a shot with Reshoot clips to keep its blocking.
4. In the Video composer, order the shots and add subtitles; pick music from the Music library or have the agent write it; use Dub for a voice-over.
5. Export → Export to canvas for the Final cut, then Download.

Make a 30-second summer spot for this Crocs clog from one line: "Thirteen holes. One summer." Product and a kid as co-leads, backyard sprinkler and porch at golden hour, no dialogue, end on the product and the line.

You get: a 30-second mp4, an editable composer timeline and every single shot. Examples: Thirteen Holes — Crocs Classic Clog 30s Spot · Her Sunday — Vacuum Cleaner TVC · The Runner — Steam Iron Cinematic Spot Related: Video tools and the composer

2. Brand film (60 s and up, with lines)

For: cookware, cars, home brands — films that sell a way of life, often with foreign-language dialogue and subtitles. Prepare: the brand's tone, product shots, the target language, a reference film (optional). Steps:

1. Attach Brand Commercial Director or Film Production; describe the spine (four acts / three scenes), the language and the subtitle requirement.
2. Past about 3 minutes, or with a recurring cast, accept the agent's Story bible invitation and lock the cast and sets as canon first.
3. Keyframes per scene → video per shot; lines through Dub (verbatim lines + music and effects), which returns Dialogue / Sound effects / Music lanes.
4. Add target-language subtitles in the composer (Subtitles → Apply to all subtitles) and export.

A 60-second kitchen film in French with English subtitles for a cast-iron Dutch oven: four short scenes of one family across one winter, the pot always in frame, warm tungsten light, a gentle piano score, end on the brand line "Pas encore."

You get: the 60-second film, subtitles, split audio lanes, Premiere / CapCut projects. Example: Pas encore. — Le Creuset Dutch Oven 60s Film Related: Dub · Story bibles

3. Product showcase: listing images and a short film

For: hero, macro, lifestyle and spec images for a listing or an A+ page, plus a 30-second showcase that works with the sound off. Prepare: 2–3 product shots (front / side / detail) and the key specs. Steps:

1. The Product showcase quick skill; upload the shots.
2. Have the agent make one hero first, approve it, then "fan out from the hero" (lifestyle, macro, infographic, banner) — everything connected to the hero so the product stays identical.
3. Change angle (15 camera presets) for new views, Light studio for new lighting, Cutout to drop the background.
4. For the film: hero → Video, with "the product is the hero, on-screen callouts, readable with the sound off" in the prompt.

From this hero shot of the K1 keyboard, make a marketplace set: a macro of the keycaps, a desk lifestyle scene, a spec infographic (switch type, battery, connectivity) and an A+ banner. Same product, same colour, 1:1 and 16:9.

You get: a consistent image set and, optionally, a 30-second showcase. Examples: KOJI K1 — Keyboard Launch Listing · Lumen Drop — Skincare E-commerce Suite · Auris — Headphone Launch Campaign Related: Image tools

4. Short film (30 s – 3 min)

For: a small story with a setup, a turn and an ending — brand stories, seasonal films, student work. Prepare: the story in one line, a style reference (a director or a film title works), the characters. Steps:

1. Attach Short Film or Film Production; state length, style and where the ending lands.
2. Lock the cast first: have the agent make a Character design sheet / Face 3-view (Grid templates on an image), then Add to bible or connect it as a reference.
3. Make a 25-cell storyboard and change order and framing there — the cheapest place to change your mind.
4. Generate 5–10-second clips per shot; Smart extend to lengthen, Frame edit for details.
5. Cut in the composer, Dub for narration and music, subtitles, export.

A 30-second Koreeda-style family film: one last breakfast before a son leaves home. Three shots in a small Japanese kitchen, morning light through paper screens, no dialogue, one line of on-screen text at the end. Lock the mother and son first, then storyboard, then shoot.

You get: the film, the character sheets, the storyboard and every shot. Examples: 最後の朝ごはん — The Last Breakfast · Palimpsest — One Wall, 40,000 Years Related: Grid templates · Screenplay

5. Recast a reference video: same moves and camera, your cast and place

For: borrowing the camera and performance of a video that worked, or putting your own characters into a fight or a dance. Prepare: the reference video (≤ 60 s), your character images, your location image. Steps:

1. Start here → Genspark Magic (or upload the reference and press Depth motion capture on its node, 720P).
2. With the depth video on the board, Shift-select it plus the character images plus the location → drag the selection's ⊕ → Video.
3. Pick a model that takes a motion reference (Seedance 2.5, for instance), match the depth clip's length, and say who is who and where in the prompt.
4. To keep the original performance and change only the picture, use the source clip's Reshoot clips instead.

Recast this fight with two characters and follow the depth video's choreography and camera frame for frame. Leo takes the attacker's role, Mina is the second fighter. Stage it in the dojo courtyard at golden hour.

You get: a new clip whose motion and camera match the reference. Related: Depth motion capture demo

6. Long content into clips (podcast / talk / interview → vertical shorts)

For: a 40-minute recording → five vertical clips of 30–60 seconds, each opening on its strongest line. Prepare: the recording. Steps:

1. Start here → Auto clips; upload the file.
2. Answer how many, how long, which platform, captions and title cards.
3. The agent transcribes, selects, cuts and captions; each clip is a video node you can Trim or Crop.
4. For a finer cut, connect a few clips into one Video composer.

Cut this 40-minute podcast into 5 vertical clips of 30–60 seconds. Open every clip on its strongest line, add burned-in captions, and put the guest's name on a small lower-third in the first 3 seconds.

You get: N captioned vertical mp4s.

7. Explainer / report video (docs, decks, links → narrated video)

For: onboarding, product walkthroughs, quarterly reviews; existing Slides / Design content that should become a video. Prepare: the doc / deck / link, the narrator persona, whether you want a presenter on screen. Steps:

1. Start here → Knowledge explainer, or simply say "turn my Slides deck '…' into an 8-minute narrated video".
2. From scratch, the agent checks the facts, writes the script, makes each section an HTML Motion page node and narrates it. From Slides / Design, every page becomes a motion page node after one round of questions (script, presenter, animation style).
3. To change a page, open its Motion Studio, say what should change, and re-render only that page (Render).
4. When all pages have rendered the cut is assembled; a presenter can appear between chapters or as a corner window. One assembly ≤ 20 minutes.

Turn this onboarding deck into a 60-second explainer for new hires that answers "how do I get my first week right?". Facts checked against the deck, calm narrator, on-screen captions, and a short title card between sections.

You get: the explainer and one re-renderable motion page per section. Related: Slides / Design to video · Motion Studio

8. Presenter / talking-head video

For: a person speaking to camera from a script: lessons, announcements, product pitches. Prepare: the script (verbatim), the presenter (generated or an uploaded portrait), the background. Steps:

1. Make the presenter first: describe them → image; lock the face with Face 3-view.
2. From that image ⊕ → Video; ask for "speaks straight to camera, lip-synced to the narration" and include the script — or generate the voice on an Audio node first and connect it to the video node.
3. For another language or voice, Dub the result: verbatim lines plus "no music".
4. Join several takes in the composer; Apply to all subtitles.

Generate a 20-second presenter video: the woman in this reference speaks straight to camera in an office, warm and professional, lip-synced to this script: "Welcome to the team. This week has three goals…". Add captions.

You get: the presenter video with a replaceable voice lane.

9. Music, music videos and scores

For: an original score for a cut, or a music video built from a song. Prepare: mood and tempo, or lyrics; for a music video, the visual style and the cast. Steps:

1. Score: attach Music Single, or describe style, BPM, length and where it should build in Audio mode; ready-made tracks come from the Music library (Music / SFX / Songs — Preview, then Add).
2. Music video: song first → the agent storyboards by lyric section → video per section → align hits in the composer (Split, Snap).
3. New music under existing footage: Audio separation → Keep vocals only, then drag the new track onto an audio lane.

Write a 30-second score for this brand film: bright, building, a soft percussive pulse that lands on the three cuts at 0:08, 0:17 and 0:26. Then cut the film to it.

You get: an audio node and a cut that lands on the beats. Example: Hotel Meridian 'Glass Season' — Vinyl Release (the sleeve and label artwork)

10. Brand visual kit

For: a complete visual system for a new brand, event, restaurant or hotel: logo, palette, packaging, storefront, menu, posters, social templates. Prepare: the name, a one-line positioning, three keywords or three hex colours. Steps:

1. Attach Visual Suite (or just describe it); Pin the brand colours at the front of the board.
2. Lock the logo and the style guide first; connect them as references to everything that follows (packaging, storefront, menu, poster).
3. Edit text for copy changes; Separate layers → layer editor → Download PSD for editable design files.
4. Social templates as HTML Poster pages; Export layers makes them editable in the layer editor.

Build a brand identity for "Ember & Oak", a neighbourhood coffee roaster: logo, a one-page style guide (type, colour, voice), a packaging trio (250 g bag, cup sleeve, sticker), a storefront mock-up and one launch poster. Keep everything on the same three brand hexes.

You get: a consistent set of brand images and editable PSDs. Examples: Ember & Oak — Coffee Brand Identity · Kumo Ramen — Restaurant Identity · The Quiet Harbor — Boutique Hotel Identity · Low Tide Festival — Event Identity System · Tin Lantern — Night-Market Food Truck · Harborlight Marathon — Race Kit · ABYSS — Museum Exhibition Identity · MAREE — Perfume Collection Launch · Bowden & Co. — Pet Supplement Line

11. Poster / key visual (still a design file afterwards)

For: a movie one-sheet, an event key visual, a cover — with editable type and separable layers. Prepare: a description of the key art or the key-art image itself, the title and the credits copy. Steps:

1. Make the key art first (an image node); then Add node → HTML → Open studio → Poster.
2. In Design Studio's chat, give the layout brief (title typeface, white space, the billing block); the key art is referenced as a layer; fine-tune with the Edit drawer and the Layers panel.
3. Export layers → a layer document → Edit layers: tracking, grading, logos; Download PSD for a designer or Download PNG to use directly.

Build a 24×36 one-sheet for the film ORBITAL from this key art: title in a wide geometric sans with very wide tracking in the lower third, tagline "Gravity was the easy part." above it, a proper billing block and release line at the bottom, PG-13 tag, film grain and a cool-to-warm grade as separate layers.

You get: an editable HTML poster, a layer document, PSD / PNG. Example: ORBITAL — movie one-sheet Related: Posters · The layer editor

12. Character IP kits and picture books

For: a mascot or virtual character's full package (turnaround, expressions, poses, merchandise), or a picture book's cover and spreads. Prepare: the character in one line, plus a reference you like (optional). Steps:

1. Lock the master character image first and Add to bible (or connect it as a reference) immediately.
2. Use Grid templates: Character 3-view / Face 3-view / Character design sheet, then expression and pose sheets and merchandise applications — all connected to the master.
3. For a book, generate spread by spread with the same character connected to the canon on every page; set the type with Edit text or a poster page.
4. To animate: character → Video; for 3D merchandise: 3D World, or a Tripo model followed by Rig skeleton.

Create a character IP kit for Miso, a round sleepy cat mascot: lock the master character first, then a turnaround, an expression sheet, five poses, and three merch applications (sticker, tote, enamel pin). Same proportions and palette throughout.

You get: the character canon and a full set of sheets. Examples: Miso — Character IP Production Kit · The Umbrella Fox — Picture Book Related: Casting Director / Actor Emotion Performer

13. 3D previs → the real shot (spatially complex scenes)

For: chases, multi-person blocking, moving through interiors, a product with a fixed relationship to its surroundings — lock cameras and movement on a white model before paying for renders. Prepare: the scene, what each camera is for, the final look. Steps:

1. Start here → Stage a scene, or Add node → 3D Director Stage → Open stage.
2. Say white model / previs: movement and camera only in the brief; the agent builds the white model and one camera per shot.
3. Look through each camera with the picker and Play; ask for changes in the chat (you can @ a camera or a moment).
4. Set active on the camera you want → Movement to board for the previs video; Frame to board for the first frame.
5. Previs video ⊕ → Video, a motion-reference model such as Seedance 2.5, and a prompt that names each block by its position relative to the camera; several shots go into the composer.

Block out a 16-second night car chase on a white stage: a fleeing sedan, a pursuing police cruiser, a cross street and a tilted flatbed truck at the end. Four shots — bumper chase, inside of the corner, drone sweep, far-side landing — each with its own camera. White model only: movement and camera, no textures.

You get: the white-model previs, a finished shot per camera, a 16-second cut. Example: Night Run — car chase, 3D stage to Seedance Related: The 3D director stage

14. Floor plan → 3D model and bird's-eye views

For: real estate, interiors, exhibitions: a plan becomes a furnished 3D cutaway and multi-angle stills. Prepare: a photo or PDF screenshot of the plan. Steps:

1. Upload the plan → an image node; have the agent make a photoreal top-down render first (a Nano Banana-class model).
2. Connect the render to a 3D Director Stage with the brief "build it as a furnished 3D cutaway wall by wall, keeping the plan's proportions".
3. Orbit in Director view, Frame to board for top-down and 45° bird's-eye stills; upload any external .glb under ASSETS.

From this floor-plan photo, first render a photoreal top-down view, then build it as a furnished 3D cutaway model on the stage wall by wall, keeping the plan's proportions. Export a top-down frame and a 45° bird's-eye frame.

You get: the top-down render, the 3D cutaway and stills. Example: Florida House — floor plan to 3D cutaway

15. Interactive films (branching shorts)

For: a short in which viewers choose at decision points and reach different endings; packaged for the web, desktop (Steam) and mobile. Prepare: the synopsis, 2–3 decision points, the number of endings, a UI theme preference. Steps:

1. Attach the Interactive Film Game skill, or Add node → HTML → Open studio → Interactive film and pick a theme (Classical / Sci-fi / Fantasy / Modern).
2. The agent writes the story graph (opening, branches, endings) and lists the segments needed; generate 5–15-second clips (lock the cast as canon first).
3. In Interactive Studio, adjust the cover, the choice copy and the subtitles; Fullscreen on the node to play it, and walk the Story tree.
4. Export build → Download build, then publish with GenCode.

Write a branching three-minute film "The Lighthouse Signal": a keeper hears a signal no one else can; two decision points, four endings, 5–15 second segments, Modern UI theme. Plan the segments I still need, then assemble.

You get: a playable interactive short and a publishable build zip. Example: The Lighthouse Signal — interactive film Related: Interactive films

16. HTML motion pieces: product updates, launch films, HUD demos, trailers, knowledge videos

For: a whole piece made of text, numbers, interface and graphic motion, where every frame must be exact — a SaaS product update, a launch film, a keynote opener, a product HUD demo, a game trailer, an explainer, a data report, a marketplace main-image video. This is the board's After Effects at work. Prepare: the script or the beats (what each scene shows and says), brand name / colours / logo, optional product shots or footage underneath, optional narration. Steps:

1. Connect the material (product shots, logo, footage, references), then tell the agent: length, number of scenes, what each scene shows and says, whether you want narration / SFX / music — and say "as an HTML motion page".
2. The agent writes the script / spec into a text node and asks you to confirm, then creates the motion node and hands it to Motion Studio; SFX and narration land as audio nodes.
3. Open Motion Studio and play the preview; ask for changes in the chat ("count the numbers up more slowly", "lock at 12 seconds", "hold the ending a second longer"), Reload preview to confirm.
4. Render on the node → a video node; to mix SFX / music, put it in the video composer with the audio nodes and Export to canvas for the master.

Make a 30-second product-update video for [my SaaS product] as an HTML motion page: four feature scenes with on-screen numbers, a mascot, and sound effects mixed into a master.

Make a 30-second product demo for [my inspection platform] as an HTML motion HUD over a drone shot: boot, scan sweep, anomaly alert, target lock with a confidence readout, and seven SFX cues mixed under a hum bed.

Make a 90-second explainer about [my topic] as an HTML motion page: lock a data table with sources first, then animate the figures scene by scene with a calm documentary voice-over and paper-and-tick sound effects, no music.

You get: the spec text node, the HTML motion node and the rendered video node (plus a composer master when you want one). Examples (the HTML motion cards under Get inspired on the home page; after Copy & continue, the quoted line is how to make it yours):

• Reconcile Cloud — 30 s SaaS product update: "Swap the four features for mine and change the brand colour; keep the scene timing and the SFX cues."
• SKYHAWK — drone-inspection HUD demo: "Change the target to a wind-turbine blade and the brand name; keep the lock moment at 12 seconds."
• FLASHPAY — keynote opener: "Replace the seven features with mine and the accent colours with my palette; keep the morph timing."
• SCRIBE — AI meeting assistant launch film (62 s, nine voice-over lines): "Swap the product name and the four workflow steps for mine; keep the scene timing, the voice-over pacing and the sound design."
• TAKE IT APART — how much water is in one latte? (96 s knowledge video): "Swap the topic and the data table for mine; keep the pacing, the ESTIMATE tags and the sources screen at the end."
• NEON RUSH 88 — launch trailer: "Replace the game name, the four track names and the record time with mine; keep the VHS framing and the beat timing."
• TINY FORGE — pixel game tutorial demo: "Change the hero and the quest items to my game's; keep the 12-frame step motion and the palette rule."
• AQUA GLOW — 1:1 marketplace main-image video: "Change the product name, the three tags and the price; keep the pour and the sound design."
• State of Short-Form Video — motion report over footage: "Replace the numbers with your own quarter's data and swap the background video for footage of your city." Related: Motion: the board's After Effects · Post pass over footage (recipe 17)

17. A post pass over footage: title cards, lower thirds, brand type and word-synced captions

For: footage you already have (generated, uploaded, or a composer export) that needs exact text and graphics on top — a title card, a name strap, brand type and logo, captions synced word by word to the narration, number / chart overlays, an end card. The original clip stays untouched. Prepare: the video node to work on; the copy (what appears at which second); logo / brand colours; optionally the narration audio node (for word-synced captions). Steps:

1. Select the video node and tell the agent "build an HTML motion post layer over this clip", listing every overlay: time, content, position, style (type feel, brand colour, caption style). To place it by hand: Add node → HTML → Open studio → Motion, then connect the video node to the motion node.
2. For word-synced captions connect the narration audio node too — the Studio transcribes it to word-level timestamps first, then builds the style you picked (plain subtitle bar, highlight, karaoke pills, full-screen slam, neon, gradient fill, corporate lower third).
3. In Motion Studio, scrub to each overlay's moment and check it; change position, colour or timing with a sentence, Reload preview to confirm.
4. Render → a new video node (the original clip is kept); put it back in the composer for an opener, an end card or music, or Download it.

Over this 20-second clip, build an HTML motion post layer: a title card "[Title]" sliding in at 0.5 s and out at 3 s, a lower third "[Name — Role]" from 6 s to 10 s in [brand colour], word-synced captions from the attached narration in a plain subtitle style, and the logo in the bottom-right corner for the last 3 seconds. Keep the footage untouched underneath.

You get: one HTML motion node and the rendered video node with the overlays; the original clip is kept. Related: Motion: the board's After Effects · The video composer · Dub: re-voice the whole clip

FAQ

Do the prompts have to be in English?

No — the agent understands many languages. The examples are in English because the Get inspired pieces were briefed in English, which makes it easy to compare with their conversations.

Roughly what does a recipe cost?

Paper work (questions, storyboards, directions) comes out of the Standard tier's free quota, as do default-quality images; video / audio / 3D are billed per second and resolution, with the estimate shown on the configuration node before you send. Stills before video is the one rule every recipe shares.

Can I combine recipes in one project?

Yes, and it is common: make the brand kit, then the TVC from the same canon; make the 3D previs, then the shots. A project can hold several boards (New board) to keep them apart.
