From the brief
to the next version.
Bring a brief, references or footage. StarZero’s agents make the first cut, and you direct every version after it in the same chat: the story, the shots, the pacing, the graphics and the sound.
Finish the render in StarZero, or export the project to Adobe Premiere Pro.
The brief
Create one finished vertical 9:16 comedy video using the attached reference images and the exact dialogue below.
This is a photorealistic, deadpan interview between a capuchin monkey and an off-screen human reporter. The monkey is a village farmer and odd-jobber. Nobody acknowledges that he is a monkey.
- Interviewer
- “Why does your pig have a wooden leg?”
- Monkey
- “Very special pig. Saved my son from drowning.”
Plus 3 reference images, voice direction and a camera plan.
A Pig This GoodVersion 3 · 0:28
A first cut you can argue with.
You don’t have to get the brief perfect in the first message. Watch what comes back and say what’s wrong. The agent fixes it, and the next render shows the result. Three renders from the chat above, with the notes in between.
-
Note for version 2
You’re cutting lines short, so let each one finish. The color shifts after the first shot, and the last shot changes angle. And make it “a pig this good”, since the pig is right there.
-
Note for version 3
It still jumps from shot to shot. Use the reference as the start and end frame so every shot joins up. And have him point at the pig, with more feeling.
-
What changed
Each shot now starts on the frame the last one ended on, so the cuts stop jumping. He points at the pig for the punchline.
Notes condensed from the producer’s messages in the chat. Generation is reviewed shot by shot, and the available models, duration and usage depend on the tool and your account.
StarZero’s own promo, made in a StarZero chat. The art is drawn in code, the voice is generated, and the captions are timed to the word.
Everything the edit still needs.
Fill a missing shot, build the graphics and give the piece a voice. Generated material lands on the same timeline as your footage, and you review it before it stays.
-
Generative editing
Generate a shot from an idea or a reference. Restyle footage, change a scene, or extend a clip past its last frame.
-
Motion graphics
Animated titles, charts, lower thirds and overlays built around the content.
-
Captions
Your typography and word emphasis, timed to the word.
-
Voiceover and sound
Narration, music, ambience and sound effects under the same edit.
A series, episode by episode.
Create short vertical stories with an arc that keeps going. Direct the premise, produce the scenes, and cut each episode around its own hook and cliffhanger. Review character continuity and every episode before release.
Finish here, or in Premiere Pro.
Download the render, or export the project for Adobe Premiere Pro and take the first cut into your usual grading, mixing and delivery.
What travels with the project
- Timeline and cuts
- Supported keyframes
- Source media
- Generated assets
- Pre-rendered graphics
- Captions
Project export uses an interchange format, so some graphics arrive as rendered assets.
-
Your house style
Save brand instructions as reusable skills: tone, colors, caption treatment, or how a format should work. Bring that direction into the next conversation.

The same production, again
For recurring campaign work at volume, Workflows run the same production across new material. Workflows are approved team by team, after a talk with us.
Before the first brief.
Do we need existing footage?
No. Begin with a creative brief or references and generate the material. You can also work entirely with your own footage, or mix existing and generated shots.
Can we check facts and brand choices?
Ask the agents to research a claim and inspect their sources. Bring your brand guidance into the conversation and review the edit. These tools support your judgment, and final approval stays with your team. See editorial review.
What uses credits?
Agent operations, processing, generation and clean renders can use credits. Review the options in your account as you work. For a recurring campaign, talk to us about output volume and production requirements.
