Use the Work Video Studio
Choose reference images, compare clip takes and arrange a sequence in the Work Video studio. Learn when to revise a shot and when to create a new final export.
1. Open the project and its current stage
Open the video project in the task’s Sources & Outputs where available. Reference media, Clips and Final video represent different stages. A planned shot may not yet have an image or playable clip.
2. Inspect and choose reference versions
Review available scene/character/audio assets. Improve a selected image with a specific request and compare returned takes. Choose the intended version before approving images for animation; controls can lock while generation is active.
3. Review clips, takes and inclusion
Play every intended shot. Use the available redo control for a precise change and compare versions. Reorder or exclude clips where offered, then check the saved timeline state. Excluding every clip leaves nothing to assemble.
Give the second shot a precise change
Once shot 2 exists, use this follow-up to change its motion while keeping the selected first shot and source look. Review the new take before assembling another export.
Revise only shot 2 so the water reaches the soil more slowly with a steady camera. Preserve shot 1, the selected source look and existing audio. Keep the earlier export. Let me inspect the revised take before creating a new final export.4. Assemble the sequence you selected
When included clips are ready, choose Create final video and wait for the playable result. Watch it with sound. After changing clip order or takes, use Create new export to make a film with those changes.
5. Compare finished versions
Use Exports to distinguish earlier and latest finished files. Make changes requests a revision; it is not proof the revised MP4 exists. Check which export is selected and preserve the earlier version for comparison.
Keep these states separate
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Planned shot | A script/prompt, not a generated clip. |
| Reference image | A visual input, not proof of consistent motion. |
| Ready clip | One shot to inspect, not the full film. |
| Stitching | An in-progress job; avoid duplicate requests. |
| Final export | A separate video to watch and check with its audio. |
Recover at the failing stage
For a failed take, inspect its error and retry that shot if offered. For an export failure, check included clips and active jobs before retrying. Save/timeline failure and media-generation failure are different; report the observed stage and expected result.
Access and usage
Work requires Plus and uses applicable model and tool credits. The Work reference explains request usage, active sessions and new-task limits.
Video studio questions
Choose versions deliberately.
Why can image choices be locked in the Video studio?
The source workflow locks reference choices while clips are generating. Wait for the active stage to finish or stop before changing references.
Why do I need another export after reordering clips?
An exported video is a separate file. Updated project choices need a new assembly; the previous MP4 stays unchanged.
Does a successful final export prove every client plays it correctly?
Inspect the actual file in the intended playback context. One successful export does not establish every codec, format, device or audio behavior.

Your turn
Take a storyboard into the Video studio.
Start with the complete two-shot plan below. Once you choose to generate its media, inspect the references and both clips before using the shot-specific follow-up.
Write a draft and review the checklist.

Take your brief into Work
Copy the brief, open Gab AI and choose Work. Paste the request and send it yourself, then inspect the delivered result.

The follow-up below needs an existing shot 2. First review the plan and explicitly choose whether to generate its references and clips. Open the resulting project, compare the available takes and keep the selected shot 1 and source versions identifiable. If shot 2 is not ready, return to the relevant project stage first.
Revise only shot 2 so the water reaches the soil more slowly with a steady camera. Preserve shot 1, the selected source look and existing audio. Keep the earlier export.
