Creative Studio

Generate, edit, arrange, and reuse images and videos on Runner's project canvas.

Creative Studio gives you a visual canvas for creating campaign and product media from a prompt, selected images, or both.

Entry path

Open a store project → More → Studio. The destination opens the Creative Studio canvas.

When the feature is enabled, a generated-image detail view in Runner chat can also offer Open generated image in Creative Studio, which opens the canvas with that output selected.

Before you start

Decide whether you need a new image, an image edit, a new video, or animation from an image.
Check the selected model’s input, output, quality, limits, and funding label.
For an edit, add the source image to the canvas and select it first.
Keep the original asset available until you approve the result.

Create media

Open Creative Studio.
Choose a model and read its input requirements.
For text-to-image or text-to-video, leave the canvas selection empty and write a specific prompt.
For image editing, add and select the required source image or images.
For image-to-video, select the single image the model will animate.
Review the model funding label and current credit notice.
Select Run once.
Open Generations to follow progress while continuing other canvas work.
Inspect the completed output on the canvas. Generated media saves to the media library after successful generation.

Troubleshooting

State	Meaning and next step
Nothing queued	No current background generation is listed.
Pending or running	The job is still processing. Keep working and wait for completion.
Succeeded	The generated output is available on the canvas and in saved media. Review it before reuse.
Failed	The job did not produce the expected output. Read the message, correct inputs, and retry deliberately.
Interrupted	Processing ended before success. Confirm funding and provider access before retrying.
Run unavailable	Check prompt, selected images, exact input count, model access, and credits.
Asset unavailable	Retry loading the tray or choose another saved asset; do not rely on a broken preview.
