# Studio (From Scratch)

> Start from a blank canvas and build the video one scene at a time — prompt each shot and pick any AI model.

Studio is for full creative control. Instead of a recipe, you get an empty project in the editor: you write each scene, prompt each shot and choose the image or video model for every one. Nothing is generated until you ask for it, so you only pay for what you make.

**Best for:** ads and product videos where every shot matters, mixing several AI models in one video, and videos built from your own footage plus a few AI shots.

## Create a Studio project

Click **+ From Scratch** at the top right of the creator, or **Start from scratch** in **All tools**.

![The Create Project dialog for a blank Studio project](https://mintcdn.com/crealix/PT9vAPiU_A6ksr_K/images/app/v2/studio-create.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=PT9vAPiU_A6ksr_K\&q=85\&s=7674e1eb0523f17ec89afbee8fb49362)

① Title · ② Aspect ratio · ③ Narration language · ④ Create Project

* **Title** (optional) — you can rename it later.
* **Aspect ratio** — **9:16** portrait (1080 × 1920), **16:9** landscape (1920 × 1080) or **1:1** square (1080 × 1080).
* **Narration language** — the language of any lines you'll voice. **See more** opens the full list.

Click **Create Project**. The empty project opens in the editor.

## Build scene by scene

**1. Add a scene**

Click **New scene** in the Scenes panel, or **+** between two scenes to insert one.

**2. Write the line (optional)**

Type what the narrator says in this scene and generate the voice — **1 credit per scene**. Pick the voice and delivery in the [Voiceover](https://docs.crealix.ai/editor/voiceover.md) panel. Leave the line empty for a silent or music-only scene.

**3. Create the media**

① Text · ② Voice · ③ Duration · ④ Multi-shot · ⑤ Scene media · ⑥ Playback

① Search, filter and sort · ② Price per second · ③ Tier

In **Scene media** (⑤), choose how to fill the scene:

* **Generate an image** from a prompt — GPT Image 2.5 Flare Medium costs **3 credits**, or pick another image model.
* **Animate it** into a clip with any [video model](https://docs.crealix.ai/tools/ai-clips.md) — Veo, Kling, Seedance, MiniMax, Wan, Sora and more. The picker shows each model's price per second, tier and supported lengths.
* **Upload** your own image or video, or pick something from your [library](https://docs.crealix.ai/workspace/media-library.md).

**4. Arrange and finish**

Set each scene's duration (0.5–15 s), camera effect and transition, drag scenes to reorder them, and add captions, music, sound effects, text overlays and your logo — everything in [the editor](https://docs.crealix.ai/editor/overview.md) works here. Then [render](https://docs.crealix.ai/editor/render.md).

A Studio project with two animated scenes

## Studio or a format?

| Choose Studio when… | Choose a format when… |
| - | - |
| You've storyboarded every shot already. | You have an idea and want a finished draft fast. |
| You want a different model per scene. | One style and one model for the whole video is fine. |
| You're mixing your own footage with AI shots. | You want the AI to write the script and plan the scenes. |

> [!TIP]
>
> You don't have to choose up front: any video made with a format opens in the same editor, where you can add, replace and re-prompt scenes exactly like in Studio.
