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 Create AI Brand Visuals

A brand designer ships a quarter's worth of social, blog hero, and presentation imagery in one canvas — palette and aesthetic locked across hundreds of generations. On Astorie, build a brand reference (palette swatch + spokesperson portrait + tone-of-voice prompt) once, fan it out into Midjourney, FLUX, and Imagen 4 image nodes, and re-run the canvas every time the campaign brief shifts. Pick a model below to walk through the quarterly brand visual refresh — campaign hero, social posts, blog headers, deck imagery — that stays stylistically aligned without round-tripping through Figma.

How to Create AI Ad Creative

A performance marketer fans one concept into 30 ad assets — multiple aspects, copy variants, CTAs — without a Figma round-trip for typography. On Astorie, drop the brief into a reference node, fan out to Ideogram (the only model that handles in-image text reliably), FLUX, and Nano Banana 2 image nodes, then re-run for every platform. Output is a paid social A/B test matrix: 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 statics with on-image headlines + 3-5 CTA variants per concept. Pick a model below to walk through the matrix your media buyer is staging tomorrow.

How to Generate a Consistent AI Character

A creator builds an AI persona once on Nano Banana 2, then uses Flux Kontext for outfit and scene swaps without losing the face. On Astorie's canvas, anchor a canonical reference portrait, then fan out to Nano Banana 2 (face-locker), Flux Kontext (outfit/scene edits while preserving identity), and Runway Gen4 Image nodes for situational variants. Output is a 12-pose AI influencer character sheet: front/three-quarter/profile portrait, plus wardrobe and location swaps generated from the same anchor. Pick a model below to walk through the canonical-reference workflow your character series depends on.

How to Create AI Storyboard Frames

A director drafts a shot list as image nodes laid out left-to-right, then feeds the strongest frames straight into Seedance or Kling for motion tests — the board becomes an animatic. On Astorie's canvas, pin a character reference and a style reference once, then fan 8-12 GPT Image, Midjourney, or FLUX nodes across the canvas, one per panel. Output is a commercial-ready storyboard or short-film pre-viz where every panel reads as one project. Pick a model below to walk through the board-to-animatic flow your client review actually expects.
