Video Studio

Use Video Studio when the next asset you need is generated video. It is built for prompt-driven clips, model selection, reference images when supported, and comparing multiple directions before you commit to an edit.

When to use it

Use it for text-to-video, image-assisted video, and first-pass visual directions.
Use reference images only when the selected model supports them; otherwise keep the prompt descriptive and specific.
Use it before Video Editor when you still need raw clips rather than timeline control.

How to work

Write the action, subject, environment, camera movement, style, and duration in one clean prompt.
Choose the model based on the task: faster models for exploration, stronger models for final-looking shots.
Generate a small set first, compare motion quality, then regenerate with tighter language instead of rewriting everything.
Save useful outputs so they appear in My Media for reuse.

Best handoff

Send finished clips to Video Editor for trimming, text, audio, ordering, transitions, and export.
Use Enhance Video when a clip is strong but needs quality cleanup.
Use Auto Subtitles when the generated clip needs captioned social output.

Image Studio

Use Image Studio when you need new still images, visual concepts, product looks, thumbnails, characters, backgrounds, or image variants before deeper editing.

When to use it

Use it for prompt-based image generation and quick visual comparison.
Use it when you need multiple candidate images before choosing one for editing or animation.
Use image references when the workflow supports them and consistency matters.

How to work

Describe the subject, composition, lighting, style, camera feel, and final use case.
Generate a set, select the strongest image, then make the next prompt more specific around what worked.
Keep the image you plan to reuse saved in My Media before moving to another tool.

Best handoff

Open selected images in Image Editor for masks, text, paint, cleanup, and final layout.
Send strong stills to Image to Video or Image to Motion when the next step is animation.
Use Background Removal or Enhance Image for simple utility cleanup instead of doing a full edit.

Sound Studio

Use Sound Studio when the next asset is audio: music, sound effects, voice direction, ambience, or sound ideas that will support a video or standalone creative piece.

When to use it

Use it before Video Editor when you need music, SFX, atmosphere, or voice assets ready for timeline sync.
Use Text to SFX for isolated effects and Music for longer mood or rhythm beds.
Use Video to Sound when the motion in an existing video should guide the generated sound.

How to work

Describe sound in practical terms: pace, mood, instruments, environment, intensity, and timing.
For SFX, keep prompts short and concrete so the output stays focused.
For music, mention genre, tempo, energy arc, and where the track will be used.

Best handoff

Bring final audio into Video Editor when it needs to sync with clips, titles, or transitions.
Use Music Isolation when a track needs stems or separation.
Use Audio to Text when the useful output is transcript, translation, or script material.

Movie Studio

Use Movie Studio for structured multi-scene work. It is the place for story direction, character stills, scene frames, and a clearer path from concept to animated sequence.

When to use it

Use it when one prompt is not enough and the project needs scenes, characters, and shot structure.
Use it before Video Studio or Video Editor when the story needs planning before clips are generated.
Use it for movie-style ideas, narrative shorts, scene breakdowns, and visual continuity.

How to work

Start with the story goal, characters, tone, and visual style.
Create or refine character stills before scene frames when consistency matters.
Build scenes with clear action and camera direction, then generate or hand off the strongest frames.

Best handoff

Send scene frames to image-to-video workflows when the next step is motion.
Move final clips into Video Editor for pacing, audio, subtitles, and export.
Use My Media to keep character stills and scene assets reusable across the project.

Viral Studio

Use Viral Studio for social-first short content. It has Studio Flow for prompt-to-short workflows and Easy Edit for putting media over video with a simple short-builder timeline.

Studio Flow

Use Studio Flow when you want Vanua to turn one idea into a planned short.
Write the hook, subject, style, audience, language, duration, ratio, and caption preference.
Review the generated plan before creating final scenes so weak prompts can be corrected early.

Easy Edit

Use Easy Edit when you already have a base video and want to place images or audio over it.
Add the main video to the bottom video track, then add image or audio media above it.
Adjust each media clip duration by resizing it on the timeline.
For images, choose an appear position and scale. For audio, choose none, smooth start, or smooth end.

Best handoff

Render Easy Edit output when the overlay timing is complete.
Use Auto Subtitles or Video Editor if the short needs captions, deeper timing, or extra post-production.
Save useful clips in My Media so the same result can become an ad, variation, or edited cut.

Advertising Studio

Use Advertising Studio when the goal is a campaign asset, product angle, offer test, hook, or ad variation rather than a generic image or video output.

When to use it

Use it for product ads, service offers, campaign angles, short hooks, and performance creative.
Use it when the output needs to sell, explain, or compare rather than simply look good.
Use product media or a URL when available, because stronger source context improves ad direction.

How to work

Start with the product, audience, benefit, proof, offer, and platform.
Generate multiple angles instead of one final answer; ads improve through comparison.
Keep the best hook and visual direction, then create variants for different audiences or formats.

Best handoff

Use Image Editor for product layout, text placement, cleanup, and static ad polish.
Use Video Editor when the ad needs timeline pacing, subtitles, transitions, or audio sync.
Use My Media to collect winning product images, hooks, and generated ad assets.

Video Editor

Use Video Editor when the material already exists and the job is control: timeline assembly, trimming, text, images, audio, transitions, inspection, and export.

When to use it

Use it after generating clips in Video Studio, Viral Studio, Movie Studio, or a focused video mode.
Use it when several media items need to become one finished output.
Use it for timing decisions that a generator cannot reliably make for you.

How to work

Create or open a project and set the canvas format before detailed editing.
Import local media or generated media, then place clips on the timeline tracks.
Trim, split, reorder, align, and inspect clips until the timing works.
Add text, overlays, blocks, transitions, and audio only after the main structure is clear.

Export

Preview the full timeline before rendering.
Check that visible tracks, volume, placement, and duration are correct.
Export video for final visual output or audio mixdown when only the sound track is needed.

Image Editor

Use Image Editor when the image already exists and you need precise control: layers, text, paint, erase, selection, masks, local AI edits, whole-image edits, and final download.

When to use it

Use it for one focused image rather than a set of generated variations.
Use it when a selected area needs to change without replacing the whole image.
Use it for layout work such as titles, labels, product cleanup, retouching, or final social graphics.

How to work

Import the image or open it from a generated output.
Use Move for layer placement, Text for editable copy, and paint tools for manual cleanup.
For AI edits, select or mask only the area that should change, then describe the exact replacement.
Use Whole Edit only when the entire image should be restyled or corrected together.

Best handoff

Save final stills to Generated Media when they will feed another workflow.
Use Image to Video or Image to Motion when a polished still should become motion.
Download when the image is finished and no longer needs Vanua tools.

Ideas

Use Ideas when the concept is not clear enough yet. It is the planning surface for prompts, hooks, story angles, campaign directions, scene ideas, and creative decisions before generation.

When to use it

Use it before generating when you only have a rough thought.
Use it when you need hooks, prompt variants, titles, scene structure, ad angles, or a cleaner creative brief.
Use image attachments when the assistant should react to a reference or existing asset.

How to work

Tell Ideas the final asset you want, the platform, audience, tone, and any constraint.
Ask for several directions first, then choose one and ask for a production-ready prompt.
Keep useful conversations separated so each project keeps its own context.

Best handoff

Use the finished prompt in Image Studio, Video Studio, Sound Studio, or a focused generation mode.
Use the hook or script direction in Viral Studio or Advertising Studio.
Return to Ideas when a generated output is close but the next prompt needs sharper direction.

My Media

Use My Media as the reuse layer. It keeps generated images, videos, and audio available so one result can become input for another workflow without hunting through downloads.

When to use it

Use it after generation when you need to find, preview, download, or reuse a result.
Use filters for images, videos, and audio when the library is large.
Use it to keep project assets close while moving between studios and editors.

How to work

Open an asset to inspect the preview and available actions.
Download when the asset is final.
Choose a compatible action when the asset should become input for another mode.

Best handoff

Images usually continue to Image Editor, Image to Video, Image to Image, Background Removal, or Enhance Image.
Videos usually continue to Video Editor, Auto Subtitles, Video to Sound, Video to Video, Enhance Video, or Video Background Removal.
Audio usually continues to Video Editor, Audio to Text, or stem separation workflows.

Using Tools Together

The cleanest Vanua workflow is to choose the tool that makes the next useful asset, then pass that asset forward. Do not restart from scratch when the current result is already close.

Video path

Plan the idea in Ideas when the hook or scene direction is unclear.
Generate clips in Video Studio, Viral Studio, Movie Studio, or a focused video mode.
Assemble and finish the result in Video Editor.
Use Auto Subtitles, Enhance Video, or Video Background Removal as utility passes when needed.

Image path

Generate options in Image Studio or a focused image mode.
Polish the selected still in Image Editor.
Use Background Removal, Enhance Image, or Beauty when the job is only cleanup.
Animate final stills with Image to Video or Image to Motion when the next output is video.

Campaign path

Use Advertising Studio for offer, audience, product, and performance angles.
Use Image Studio or Video Studio to create the visual assets.
Use Sound Studio for music, SFX, or voice direction.
Use Video Editor or Image Editor for final composition and export.
