Prop Studio

​

Create a Prop

Props are objects that appear in your film — anything from a coffee mug to a vintage car. Each prop can be reused across multiple scenes and shots, ensuring visual consistency throughout your production. Prefer the picture big? Switch to fullscreen view (bottom left of the dialog, next to Watch Tutorial) opens the same prop with the image filling the screen and the controls floating on top — see Fullscreen view below. Whatever you have typed comes with you.

​

Step 1: Enter Prop Details

• On the Prop Studio page, click Create New Prop
• Enter the prop’s Name (e.g., “Antique Pocket Watch” or “Leather Briefcase”)
• Write a detailed Description — include material, color, size, condition, distinctive features, and any other visual characteristics that will help the AI generate an accurate representation

​

Step 2: Choose Draft or Final quality

Under the generate button you’ll find a Draft / Final quality switch:

• Draft — fast and inexpensive, ideal while you’re iterating on the description
• Final — the best image quality on offer, for when you’re happy with the direction

The generate button always shows exactly what a generation will cost with the current choice. The model line below the switch shows which AI model is in use — click Click here to change to pick any supported model instead; the switch clears until you tap a quality again, and your quality choice carries over when you swap between generation methods.

​

Step 3: Generate Prop Image

• Click Generate Prop Image — the details you entered will guide the AI image generation
• Review the generated image and refine your description if needed
• Generate again until you’re satisfied with the result
• Click Save and Close to add the prop to your project

​

Managing Generations

Once you’ve generated prop images, you can manage them with the following features:

• Navigate through generations — Use the back and next buttons under the image to browse through all generated versions
• Provide feedback — Click the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to give feedback on generated images
• Active image — The active image will be used when creating shots and scenes. New generations are automatically set as active
• Set active image — To set a different image as active, navigate to it using the back/next buttons and click Set Active underneath the image
• Hide a generation — Click the eye button to tuck away a generation you no longer want to see, without losing it. To bring it back, click the show-hidden (eye) button next to the navigation counter, navigate to the hidden generation, and click Unhide
• Delete a generation — Click the trash button to remove a generation permanently. If you might want it back later, hide it instead

​

Fullscreen view

Click Switch to fullscreen view at the bottom of the dialog to work with the image filling the whole screen. Everything above works the same way; the layout is different:

• Controls panel — Name, the New / Edit / Reference control, the description, Draft / Final and the generate button float in a panel at the left — drag it by the grip along its top edge to uncover the picture, or drag it to the left or right side of the window to dock it there as a rail (a guide appears when it is close enough; the picture switches to Fit and shrinks to make room, and dragging it away floats it again — double-click the grip to put it back). On a phone the panel is a sheet that slides up from the bottom — tap the sliders icon in the top bar to open it
• Takes strip — every generation runs along the bottom as a strip of thumbnails. Click one, or use the ← and → keys, to put it on screen; the take with the green tick is the active image
• Action bar — thumbs up/down, favourite, info, hide, delete and Set Active sit in a bar just above the strip. The heart and eye buttons at the left of the strip filter to favourites or reveal hidden takes
• Fill or Fit — the top-right switch crops the image to fill the screen or fits the whole image inside it. Click the image itself to open it full size
• Closing — the × in the top right (or Esc) saves anything unsaved and returns you to your props. Switch to classic view at the bottom of the panel goes back to the dialog
