Introducing AI Cinema Studio on WaveSpeedAI: Direct Cinematic AI Video Shots

Introducing AI Cinema Studio on WaveSpeedAI

Most AI video tools give you a text box and hope for the best. AI Cinema Studio gives you a director’s chair instead. You choose the film look, the camera and the light the way a filmmaker would, and the studio turns those choices into a precise shot description for the video model.

It is available now in the WaveSpeedAI generator sidebar, right after AI Chat.

“A lighthouse keeper climbs the spiral stairs with a lantern during a storm” – Noir, Practicals lighting, Crane up, made in AI Cinema Studio.

The Director’s Panel

Five cards sit above the prompt box: References, Film setup, Camera, Color palette and Lighting. Each opens a panel of visual presets, and every preset has a preview you can hover to watch.

Film setup – genre (Epic, Drama, Noir, Comedy, Horror, Action), era (1960s to the present day) and tempo, from a single continuous shot to fast, chaotic cuts.
Camera – the camera body (modern digital, 35mm film, 8mm film, DV camcorder), lens (clean, anamorphic, vintage anamorphic, warm vintage, halation) and aperture (f/1.4, f/4, f/11).
Color palette – 17 named palettes, from Neon Monsoon to Silver Gelatin, each shown on its own scene with its swatch. Or build your own from an image or a color picker.
Lighting – silhouette, practicals, window light, overhead, contre-jour or soft cross light. Or place up to four lights yourself, each with its own color, brightness, softness and direction.

Anything you leave on Auto is up to the model. You can open Prompt sent to the model at any time to see exactly what your choices add.

One scene in the 1960s era look

Same scene, Era: 1960s.

18 Camera Moves

Open the Camera card and switch to Movement to direct the camera itself: static, push in, pull out, pan, tilt, truck, crane up and down, orbits, a full 360° orbit, crash zoom, handheld, an aerial pull-back and the Hitchcock dolly zoom. Pick a move and the model follows it through the shot, so you don’t need camera jargon in your prompt.

Dolly zoom: the subject keeps its size while the background stretches away.

A Director of Photography for Every Shot

Before generating, the studio rewrites your scene the way a director of photography would plan it. Your choices stay in charge, and the shot gains:

a deliberate lighting design, such as warm practical lamps against cool ambient light
atmosphere: rain, haze and dust
set and wardrobe details, lens and depth of field
the camera move with its start and end framing
a soundscape

The rewrite keeps your subject and action as written, follows every panel choice, and is written in the language you use.

References and Assets

Add images, videos and audio clips as references and mention them in your prompt with @, like @image1. Mark an image as the first frame to start the shot from it. Save any upload or result to your Assets, the same library as your Assets page, to reuse a character or a location in later shots, and pull any earlier result back in with Use as reference.

How to Direct Your First Shot

Open AI Cinema Studio and describe the scene in your own words.
Choose the film setup, camera, color palette, lighting and camera move.
Pick the model, resolution, aspect ratio and length, then press Generate. The price is shown on the button before you start.

You pay the selected model’s price for each video, with no subscription. Prefer to work by conversation? AI Chat creates and edits images and videos from plain-language requests too.
