Video states
Section titled “Video states”Video renders can appear before they are complete:
- Pending / Processing: the render is still running in the background.
- Complete: the video is ready to preview, download, or organize.
- Failed: the render did not finish. You can remove the failed item from the gallery.
Aethera updates video cards as background renders finish. If a video has been pending for a while, opening the Gallery also nudges Aethera to reconcile stale jobs.
Image preview tools

- Open the image on the Studio canvas.
- Review or restore edit versions.
- Upscale the image.
- Animate the image into Video Studio.
Best practices
Section titled “Best practices”- Use collections for creative themes and projects for operational context.
- Move finished campaign assets into a collection as soon as you approve them.
- Use Create similar when a prompt worked and you want another direction.
- Use Animate to video when a still image is the best start frame for motion.
- Delete failed or unwanted renders to keep the gallery easy to scan.
