Studio

Studio makes short videos for your product. You describe the video to Astro, review the plan, and generate it. Then you cut it, caption it, and export an MP4 in the editor. You can also edit footage you already have.

Describe it, review the plan, and generate. A few seconds of video per take.

Create an avatar

A character you reuse, so the same presenter appears in every video.

Edit a video

A timeline with layers, text, and transitions. Ask Astro to make the cuts.

Add captions

Studio writes them from the speech. You fix a word with a click.

Export a video

An MP4 on your computer and in your Media Library.

The parts of Studio

In the sidebar	What it is
Create	Your chats with Astro. Each chat holds its video plans and the videos generated from them.
Avatars	Characters Studio can reuse across images and videos.
Editor	Your edits. Each one is a timeline you can come back to.
Media Library	Every image and video you generated, uploaded, or imported, across all FounderHQ products.

What uses credits

Only generating a video uses credits. Editing, captions, avatars, and exports do not.

A video costs a rate per second. The rate depends on the model and the resolution you choose, so a longer or sharper video costs more. Studio shows the exact cost on the Generate button before you spend anything.

FounderHQ holds the credits when the video is queued. If the generation fails, the credits come back.

See your balance and buy credits in Settings → Subscription.
