# Creative Studio

> Chat-style AI creative workflow for images, videos, and editing

## Overview

The Creative Studio (`/studio`) is the main creative workspace in DAWSEN AI. It uses a chat-based interface where each message generates images or videos, building a visual conversation you can iterate on. Multiple sessions let you organize work by product or campaign.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Studio">
    Navigate to **Studio** from the main navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start or Select a Session">
    Create a new session for each product or project. Sessions keep your
    generation history organized and separate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe What You Want">
    Type a prompt in the input bar. Choose between **Image** or **Video** output
    mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click Generate. Results appear in the chat thread below your prompt.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Iterate">
    Use any generated image as a reference for the next generation, edit with
    inpainting, remove its background, or turn it into a video — all without
    leaving the Studio.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Sessions

Sessions are named workspaces that group your generations together.

* Create up to the session limit for your plan
* Rename sessions to match your product or campaign
* Switch between sessions from the left sidebar
* Delete sessions you no longer need

## Image Generation

### Models

Choose from multiple AI models in the toolbar:

| Model            | Description                               |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Nano Banana**  | Fast, high-quality generations            |
| **GPT-4o**       | OpenAI's image model                      |
| **FLUX Kontext** | Excellent for reference-guided generation |
| **Seedream**     | Stylized, creative outputs                |

### Settings

* **Aspect Ratio**: 10 options from 1:1 to 21:9
* **Resolution**: 1K, 2K, or 4K
* **Variants**: Generate 1–4 images at once
* **Visual Style**: Choose from 100+ curated styles

### Reference Images

Attach up to 5 reference images to guide the generation:

* Upload from your device
* Select from your Gallery
* Use any previously generated image as a reference

### Prompt History

Click the clock icon to see your 10 most recent successful prompts and reload them with one click.

## Video Generation

Switch to **Video** mode in the input bar to generate videos.

### Text-to-Video

Describe the video you want and select a model:

| Model          | Notes                     |
| -------------- | ------------------------- |
| **Kling 2.6**  | High quality, recommended |
| **Kling 2.5**  | Fast generation           |
| **Veo 3**      | Google's video model      |
| **Wan 2.6**    | Strong motion control     |
| **Sora 2 Pro** | OpenAI's video model      |

Settings: duration (5s or 10s), aspect ratio, sound on/off.

### Image-to-Video

Set a **Start Frame** image to animate from a specific product photo. Optionally set an **End Frame** for first-last-frame interpolation — the AI fills in the motion between the two frames.

### Reference Video

Attach a reference video for motion control — the AI matches the motion style of your reference.

## Editing Tools

### Inpainting

Click the edit (mask) icon on any generated image to open the inpainting editor. Paint over the area you want to change, write a prompt, and regenerate just that region.

### Background Removal

Click the background removal icon on any image to instantly remove its background. The result is saved to your Gallery as a transparent PNG.

## Chat Actions

Hover over any generated image in the chat to access:

* **Use as Reference** — adds the image to the next generation's reference images
* **Edit with Mask** — opens inpainting editor
* **Remove Background** — removes background instantly
* **Download** — saves the full-resolution file
* **Create Video** — opens the video generation modal with this image as the start frame
* **Delete** — removes the image from the session
