Member Access
When signed in, the long header strip shows the member email and available credits. In a guest session, the studio still shows status, Site Links, Buy Credits, and My Account.

Studio Header, Member Access, Credits, Status, and Site Links
The redesigned AI Video Studio starts with a compact AI Video Studio header that keeps account state, paid credit access, service status, navigation, and account actions visible while the workspace stays open.
Access
Member access and status summary are visible at the top of the studio header before any upload.
Buy Credits appears in the top control strip and opens the credits flow for session top-up.
My Account remains available from the header and opens account/session controls.
Status
Status confirms whether the service is online before the user uploads or processes a clip.
Buy Credits
Buy Credits opens the video credit checkout path. Use it when the available balance is low or a longer clip needs more processing minutes.
My Account
My Account opens account access for sign-in, credit restore, and session management without relying on footer navigation.
Output And Framing
Output Size Menu, Framing Select, Target Badge, and Upload Video
The first setup row defines the export target before a source clip is selected. Output size controls resolution and ratio. Framing controls whether the clip keeps the full frame or allows black-bar crop cleanup.
Setup
Output size opens a custom menu with standard sizes and social video sizes. The target badge updates from this selection.
Keep full frame keeps the source image intact when preserving full composition is required.
Auto crop black bars removes edge bars for a tighter composition before upload and processing.
Preview Settings
Preset, Output, Enhancement, AI Engine, Preview State, Effects State, and Show All Settings
The Preview Settings strip is the live job summary. It mirrors the current preset, output target, enhancement level, AI engine, readiness state, effects state, and expanded configuration list.
Preview
Show all settings expands the preview strip from summary pills into the full queued settings list, which is useful before spending credits or running a final process.
Summary Pills
Preset, Output, Enhancement, AI engine, Preview, and Effects pills show the most important processing choices without opening a panel.
Settings Ready
Settings ready means the current setup is valid for preview and processing. Effects ready means the queued effects are in a ready state.
AI Engine
The default local video enhancement engine is shown in the strip so the user can confirm the processing route before starting.
Expanded Detail
Use Show all settings when a user needs the full hidden configuration behind the current preset and panel choices.
Stage And Result Cards
Upload Stage, Original Video, Output Video, and Download Processed Video
The middle of the studio is the working area. The large black stage previews the incoming clip, while the status cards below confirm source state, output state, and download readiness.
Stage
The stage accepts drag and drop upload. The cards below it read No file yet, No output yet, and disabled download until a source and processed output exist.
Preview Stage
Drop a video here or upload is the active intake point. After upload, this area previews the clip before processing.
Original Video
Original Video confirms source file state. Before upload it reads No file yet.
Output Video
Output Video confirms processed file state. Before processing it reads No output yet.
Download Processed Video
The download card stays disabled until the processed result is available.
Quick Setup And Encoding
Preset Stack, Enhancement Strength, Codec, Cleanup, Color, Motion, and Audio Cleanup
The first two settings panels cover the normal setup path. Quick Setup is the simple preset and strength pass. Encoding Settings opens the detailed encode, cleanup, color, motion, and audio cleanup groups.
Panels
Quick Setup is the first panel to open when a user only needs preset stack and enhancement strength.
Encode controls target codec and route for the final output format.
Cleanup controls reduce artifacting and recover clip detail before final render.
Motion controls refine frame movement and temporal shaping after base quality settings are set.
Color and lighting controls finish tone and color balance before the clip exports.
Audio cleanup removes noise and sharpens the speech or soundtrack quality.
Trim And Look
Trim Start, Trim End, Playback Speed, Audio, Look Adjustments, and Watermark Controls
Trim + Audio and Advanced Look cover the clip-specific finishing work. Use them after the basic output, framing, preset, and encoding choices are correct.
Finish
Trim plus speed controls narrow a clip to the desired range and timing behavior.
Audio controls set source audio behavior, replacement tracks, volume, and audio sync alignment.
Advanced Look controls rotation, brightness, contrast, saturation, and gamma.
Watermark controls apply and position logo overlays without leaving the current panel.
Trim Range
Set trim start and trim end when the export should process only part of the clip. Leave trim end blank to keep the full remaining clip.
Playback Speed
Use playback speed when the rendered clip should run slower or faster than the original.
Audio Source
Keep original audio, remove it, adjust volume, or use replacement audio when the clip needs a sound change.
Look Adjustments
Use Advanced Look for final rotation and image tone changes after the core enhancement settings are ready.
Timeline Tools
Timeline, Waveform, Trim Workflow, Playhead, Duration, and Preview Audio
The lower workflow stays collapsed until it is needed. Expand it to scrub through the clip, check timing, inspect waveform, and lock final trim and audio decisions.
Timeline
Timeline opens playhead, duration, and duration scrub controls for precise cut review.
Trim + Audio within the timeline stage lets users fine-tune final timing and transitions.
Waveform view surfaces quiet and noisy regions before finalizing cuts.
Timeline
Use Timeline to scrub through the preview and place visual timing decisions before final processing.
Waveform
Use Waveform to spot audio activity and decide where speech, sound, or silence should be trimmed.
Trim + Audio
The lower Trim + Audio path supports final range and sound decisions after timeline review.
Readouts
Playhead, total duration, and preview audio readouts keep the review state visible while the user scrubs.
Recipes And Quick Answers
Recommended Video Setups, FAQ, and Related Pages
Use these starting setups when a user needs a fast path through output, framing, preset, trim, timeline, and export controls.
Answers
The current workspace is designed as a top-to-bottom flow: target, upload, preview settings, result cards, settings panels, then timeline tools.
Fast 1080p Cleanup
Output: 1080p. Framing: Keep full frame. Preset: Balanced. Open Quick Setup only if the enhancement strength needs adjustment.
Social Crop
Choose the social output size first, then use Framing to decide whether the source should remain intact or crop black bars.
Short Clip Trim
Set output target, upload, open Trim + Audio, set start and end, then expand Timeline tools to review the cut.
Final Look Pass
Use Advanced Look only after the output, preset, and trim are correct. Adjust rotation, brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma, or watermark.
What should I change first?
Change Output size and Framing first. Those controls define the target before upload preview and panel-specific tuning.
When should I open Quick Setup?
Open Quick Setup when the clip only needs preset or enhancement strength changes.
When should I use Encoding Settings?
Use Encoding Settings when the clip needs specific encode, cleanup, color, motion, or audio cleanup choices.
Where did timeline and waveform go?
They are in the collapsed Timeline, waveform, and trim tools panel below the four main control buttons.
