How to Create AI Product Videos

A DTC founder takes one legal-approved product still and ships paid-social-ready video the same afternoon: a hero spin, a lifestyle insert, and a tight detail loop. Astorie's canvas turns that shot list into one workflow — drop the product image into a reference node, fan out to Seedance 2, Runway Gen4 Turbo, or Hailuo 02 image-to-video nodes, and render 1:1, 9:16, and 16:9 cutdowns from the same source. Pick a model below to walk through the SKU launch flow your performance marketer is actually expecting.

How to Create an AI Short Film

An indie filmmaker drafts a 3-5 shot narrative short on the canvas — same protagonist, same world — over a weekend, before booking any crew. Use Astorie's storyboard generator to lock a character reference, fan out shot frames to Sora 2, Kling 3, or Google Veo 3.1, and chain last-frame to first-frame so cuts read as one continuous scene. The result is a festival-bound pre-viz reel cinematic enough to greenlight the production round. Pick a model below to walk through the workflow that fits your script.

How to Create Multi-Shot AI Videos

A brand video team builds a wide → close-up → reverse sequence where the spokesperson is the same person on shot one and shot eight. Lighting holds, location holds, character holds. Drop a reference portrait into the canvas, fan out 5-8 shot prompts to Sora 2 Pro Storyboard, Kling 3 multi-shot, or Seedance 2 nodes, then chain the timeline straight into NLE export. Pick a model below to walk through the multi-cut sequence your editor will not have to re-time once it lands in Premiere or Resolve.

How to Extend AI Video Clips

An editor inherits a 5-second AI clip that needs to be 12 seconds for the cut — extend it without re-prompting from scratch. On Astorie's canvas, drop the original clip into a video-to-video node, chain Pixverse Extend, Wan 2.6, or Runway Aleph downstream, and tail the new motion into the rest of the timeline. The result is an approved hero shot lengthened to fit a 15-second ad, or a B-roll insert seamlessly looped — all without losing the look of the original. Pick a model below to walk through your extension flow.

How to Edit Existing Video With AI

A brand team has source footage that needs reskinning for a seasonal campaign — preserve motion and timing, swap the look. On Astorie's canvas, route the source clip into Runway Aleph for camera-faithful style transfer, Wan VACE Video Edit for reference-driven re-renders, or Kling O3 Video Edit for character/scene swaps. Each model preserves the original timing so cuts line up with your existing edit. Pick a model below to walk through the seasonal restyle, character swap, or template re-render your campaign actually needs.

How to Create AI Videos With a Reference Character

An AI influencer producer keeps "Mia" identical across a 12-week content series — same face, jaw, hairline shot to shot. On Astorie's canvas, pin a character sheet to a reference node, then fan out to Vidu Q2 Subject Ref (1-7 reference images), Kling O3 Reference, or Seedance 2 Omni nodes. Each video clip pulls from the same identity anchor so the AI talent reads as one person across episodes, fashion looks, and locations. Pick a model below to walk through the recurring spokesperson or AI influencer build your content calendar already depends on.

How to Use a 3D World for Video Shots

A cinematographer captures matched-angle stills from a Marble or World Labs scene and feeds each as a starting frame into a Sora 2, Kling 3, or Runway Gen4 video node — the camera moves change, the world doesn't. On Astorie's canvas, build a five-shot sequence (wide → medium → close-up → reverse → tag) where the location reads as one space across cuts. The world is the spine; each video clip is a derived take. Pick a model below to walk through the spatial-reference video shot workflow.
