Studio OS — Guide
A practical guide for finding your work, creating assets, and delivering updates.
Quick Start
- Sign in with your login and password.
- Select the project in the top project dropdown.
- Open My Work to see assigned tasks, videos, props, and activity.
- Open a task or card and review the brief, references, comments, and deliverables.
- Create, refine, upload, or update the work.
- Leave a short comment so the team knows what changed.
Navigation
Images — image generation cards, references, versions, and approved results.
Video — video cards, prompts, outputs, and video versions.
Board — project tasks, deliverables, files, comments, and task activity.
My Work — your personal work queue: tasks, videos, props, watching, calendar, and activity.
If the project uses Scenes or Episodes, they help organize shots and production structure.
Find Your Work
Start with My Work when you are not sure what to do next.
- Tasks — assigned tasks and subtasks.
- My Videos — video cards assigned to you.
- My Props — assigned characters, locations, or props.
- Watching — tasks you follow.
- Calendar — work organized by date.
- Activity — recent updates related to your work.
Create an Image
- Open Images.
- Click Create.
- Describe the image in the prompt box.
- Choose Resolution, Aspect ratio, Model, and Count.
- Add references if consistency matters.
- Click Generate.
A useful prompt includes the subject, action, environment, mood, lighting, composition, and any must-have details.
PE vs Generation Model
When creating a card, there are two different model choices:
Model controls the image or video generator. Use Pro for final-quality shots and Flash for faster experiments.
PE means Prompt Engineer. It helps turn your idea into a stronger prompt and can suggest useful references. PE does not create the image itself; it prepares the instruction that the generation model will use.
Use PE: Default unless you have a specific reason to choose another PE model.
- AI asks PE to build or improve the prompt before generation.
- Generate sends the current prompt to the generator.
- Use AI when the idea is rough or needs prompt help.
- Use Generate when the prompt is already ready.
Add References
References help match characters, products, locations, props, and style.
- Click Refs to choose from the project library.
- Use the upload / paperclip button to add an image.
- Drag and drop images into the create area or card detail.
- Paste an image from clipboard if your browser supports it.
Review a Card
Click any card or gallery tile to open the card detail view. In a card you can review the prompt, inspect references, open versions, download files, approve or reject results, upload edits, comment, refine, and create new versions.
Common statuses:
- AI Ready — the prompt is ready; open the card and click Generate or continue editing.
- Pending / Running — generation is queued or processing.
- Generated — a result is ready to review.
- Approved — the version is accepted for use.
- Rejected — the version should not be used.
- Failed — review the prompt and try again.
Versions
Every generation creates a version. Use the version strip inside the card:
- Click a thumbnail to view that version.
- Use Approve when the version is usable.
- Use Reject when the version should not be used.
- Use Download to save the file.
- Use Final when the workflow needs one chosen approved version.
Actions apply to the version you are currently viewing.
Refine and New Versions
Use refine when the result is close but needs a specific change.
- Open the card.
- Write one clear change in the chat / refine area.
- Apply the updated prompt.
- Click New Version or Generate.
Refine uses PE to rewrite the prompt. The next New Version or Generate uses the generation model to create the actual result.
Good refine requests: “make the shot closer”, “remove the text”, “keep the same character but change the pose”, “make lighting softer”.
Directions
Use Direction to create a new creative branch from a strong image: same character in a new pose, same product in another setting, a new camera angle, or an alternate mood.
- Open a generated card.
- Choose the version you want to branch from.
- Click Direction.
- Name the direction and generate new versions inside it.
Upload Edits
Use Upload when you edited an image outside Studio OS.
- Open the card.
- Click Upload.
- Select your edited image.
- The upload appears as a new version.
- Add a comment if the edit needs explanation.
Save as Reference
If a result should guide future generations, save it as a reference.
- Open the card.
- Select the best version.
- Click Save as Ref.
- Choose the correct entity or category.
- Add a useful tag, such as front, side, night, closeup, or outfit.
Video
- Open Video.
- Open the video card.
- Review the prompt, references, comments, and current output.
- Generate, update, download, or review the result.
- Leave a comment with what changed or what needs review.
Board Tasks
Open Board to work with project tasks. Click a task to open the side panel.
A task may include description, status, assignee, due date, deliverables, comments, attachments, activity, and linked cards or files.
Deliverables
Deliverables are the concrete outputs needed for a task: images, videos, final edits, reference files, characters, locations, or props.
- Open the task in Board.
- Find the correct deliverable section.
- Upload a file or add a version.
- Check that the preview appears correctly.
- Leave a comment if the update needs context.
Comments and Attachments
Use comments for short, practical updates:
- “Uploaded v2 with cleaner background.”
- “Approved the strongest version, v4.”
- “Need review: character face changed slightly.”
- “Added final edit candidate.”
Use attachments for source files, edited images, references, final exports, or notes. After uploading, add a short comment explaining the file.
Daily Workflow
- Open My Work.
- Review assigned tasks and deadlines.
- Open the highest-priority task.
- Read the description, comments, references, and deliverables.
- Generate, upload, refine, or update the deliverable.
- Comment what changed.
- Approve only versions that are ready to use.
- Move to the next assigned task.
Quality Checklist
- Does it match the brief?
- Does it follow the references?
- Is the character, product, or location consistent?
- Is the image or video clean enough to use?
- Did you upload the correct file?
- Did you leave a useful comment?
- Did you approve the right version?
