AVA Studio User Guide

Understanding the Studio Interface: Core Components Explained

Landing Page

Prompt Input Box

Where you tell the AI what to create.

  • Freeform Prompt: Describe your scene or anything about the video you plan to create.

    • Example: "A cyberpunk girl walking through neon-lit Tokyo streets."

Magic Wand : AI Prompt Enhancer

  • Click this to auto-improve or expand your prompt for better results.

Image Upload

You can drop or upload more than one image here.

  • This helps the AI better understand the visual direction of your video.

    • The AI uses your images to build a visual reference board (or “video bible”) and generate scenes that match your prompt.

    • Ideal for creating product promos, mood-based content, or visually guided narratives.

    • You can also instruct the AI to animate your uploaded images, bringing them to life in line with your script/prompt.

Character Selection

Choose from a list of built-in agents by Holoworld and our partners, OR create your own custom agent to use in your video herearrow-up-right.

  • Once selected, the AI will use your chosen character's voice and image to generate your prompt

  • Note: Each scene supports only one agent at a time. However, if you would like multiple characters in your video, do upload images of all the characters you'd like into include. The AI will then reference your images and generate your prompt accordingly.

Advanced Settings

The Advanced Settings panel lets you fully control how your video looks, sounds, and behaves prior to generation.

  • These settings apply across your entire project, not just individual scenes.

You'll find three tabs: Basic, Source & Style, and Audio.

  • Basic Tab

    • Control general video parameters here:

      • Format:

        • Choose to generate an image or video, or let the AI decide (Both).

        • Video Quality:

          • Standard: Default mode with faster generation.

          • High: Uses more advanced models for sharper results (higher credit cost).

        • Video Length:

          • Set how long you want the video to be (up to 60 seconds).

          • Leave it at 0 to let the AI decide based on your prompt and inputs.

          • Note: The final video length may not be exact — the AI will generate a result that's approximately based on your selected duration.

  • Source & Style Tab

    • Customize the visual feel of your video.

      • Brainrot Mode:

        • Toggle this on for the iconic chaotic, low-fi meme style.

      • Source Mode:

        • AI: Let the AI generate original visuals.

        • Stock: Pulls from curated stock images and footage instead.
