I have such a hard time imagining this working well. I used an AI service to make a picture of an archer in a different position from where the image originally showed him and it consistently insisted on swapping the arrow tip and the feathers, so feathers at the front of the arrow. Just because you give these things instructions does not mean they get followed precisely.

That’s a fair concern DougN7. Generative image/video models are probabilistic, so they can easily cause mistakes like the arrow example you mentioned.

Film Studio works differently for many edits: It is not a generative image/video model. Instead, the prompt will be translated into deterministic code/parameters, which are then rendered with Remotion. So “move this 20px left” or “start this animation at frame 60” becomes an exact operation, rather than a suggestion to a generative model.

It’s more like an AI-powered version of Adobe After Effects + Premiere
