Use Rivya Video Studio for text-to-video, image-to-video, guided motion, product demos, duration, aspect ratio, audio planning, and review.

Use this guide when the next Rivya deliverable needs motion: a product demo, launch teaser, marketing clip, image-to-video test, or short explainer.

Video Studio is the signed-in workspace for video tasks that need credits, motion settings, references, async status, saved history, and output review.

What Video Studio Is For

Video Studio is for generating and iterating video tasks such as:

text-to-video concepts
product demo clips
marketing videos
image-guided motion
reference-led motion tests
UGC-style short clips
short explainers that may later need voice or music

It works most reliably for focused clips. A useful first video usually proves one movement, one scene, or one message.

Choose The Right Starting Point

Start from text when the scene and action can be described clearly.

Start from an image when you already have a visual direction and want to animate it.

Start from references when the video needs to respect product appearance, campaign style, composition, or a previous still.

If the visual direction is not proven, consider using Image Studio in Rivya first.

Write Motion In Simple Beats

Video prompts work better when motion is broken into simple beats.

Use this structure:

opening frame
main movement
final frame

Example:

Start with a close product shot on a clean desk. The camera slowly pushes in while the cap twists open. End with the open product centered and the label still visible.

That is easier to review than a prompt asking for a full product story, multiple locations, several camera moves, and text overlays in one short clip.

Set Duration And Aspect Ratio

Choose settings based on where the video will be used:

vertical for short-form social clips
square for flexible social posts
horizontal for website heroes, product demos, and presentation-style assets
shorter duration for direction tests
longer duration only when the script or motion needs the time

For detailed settings guidance, read Quality, Duration, and Aspect Ratio.

When Audio Belongs In The Workflow

Audio should be planned when it changes how the video is understood.

Use audio for:

voice-over
narration
dialogue
sound effects
localized video versions
finished marketing assets

For early motion tests, validate the visual direction first. Add voice or sound through Audio Studio in Rivya once the clip is worth finishing.

Reviewing Video Outputs

Review the video before downloading or making variants.

Check:

whether the main motion is clear
whether the product or subject remains recognizable
whether the camera supports the task
whether the first seconds make sense
whether the crop fits the target channel
whether artifacts make the clip unsuitable
whether the result should be saved, retried, or continued

Use History in Rivya and Rivya Notifications Center for async work and later retrieval.

When To Start Elsewhere

Do not start in Video Studio when:

the idea still needs planning in chat
the visual direction has not been proven and could start as a still
the task is primarily a script, voice, or sound problem
you need exact UI text or dense readable text inside the video
the request is really a multi-scene campaign that should be split into assets

Video is powerful, but it is not the cheapest way to discover an unclear visual idea.
