### **How it works?**

Video Studio offers a suite of AI-powered tools to take your video from concept to completion:

1. **Create** a new video from a text prompt using our most advanced video generation models.
2. **Animate** a still image into a video with Image to Video, or build a scene from multiple reference images with Reference to Video.
3. **Edit** existing footage using natural language — remove objects, swap backgrounds, adjust lighting, and more.
4. **Apply effects** with Video Effects to add cinematic VFX, motion blur, or lighting treatments to any clip.
5. **Extend** any generated video by 5 seconds and guide the continuation with a custom prompt.
6. **Animate characters** with Motion Control by transferring movement from a reference video onto your subject, or bring portraits to life with Lipsync.
7. **Remake** a viral video with your own characters, products, or clothes with Viral Remake.
8. **Caption** your video with styled, auto-transcribed captions with Captions.
9. **Clip** long videos into short, captioned vertical clips with Auto Clipper.
10. **Upscale** any video to a higher resolution with Video Upscale.
