Chat-Assisted Video
You can ask Aethera to generate videos from chat. Chat-assisted video uses Video Studio models, but it does not wait in the chat turn for the finished file. Instead, Aethera asks for approval, launches the render in the background, then links you to the video gallery.
How the chat flow works
Section titled “How the chat flow works”Ask for a video
Section titled “Ask for a video”Describe the clip you want, including subject, motion, style, duration, aspect ratio, audio needs, or start-frame requirements.
Aethera chooses a model
Section titled “Aethera chooses a model”Aethera can browse the video model catalog and choose a model based on quality, speed, audio, and frame support.
Review the video picker
Section titled “Review the video picker”The chat approval card opens with one clip row for a single video, or up to four clip rows for a batch of distinct clips.
Edit per-clip settings
Section titled “Edit per-clip settings”Open each clip row to adjust its prompt, model, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, audio, start frame, or end frame where supported.
Approve or deny
Section titled “Approve or deny”Approve to launch the render. Deny if you do not want Aethera to spend credits or create the video.
Open the gallery
Section titled “Open the gallery”After launch, chat shows a status card with a link to the video gallery. The finished clip appears there when rendering completes.
Batches are distinct clips
Section titled “Batches are distinct clips”When chat proposes multiple videos, each row is its own clip, not a variation count. Use this for:
- Several ad cuts for the same campaign.
- A sequence of storyboard beats.
- Different platform formats or aspect ratios.
- Multiple product or scene concepts.
The approval card can apply one model to all clips, or you can choose a different model per clip.
Background rendering
Section titled “Background rendering”Chat video generation starts a background render and returns immediately with a status card. The card can update as the video row changes, but the gallery is the main place to watch, preview, and download finished clips.
Frames in chat
Section titled “Frames in chat”The video approval card can include start and end frames:
- Use a start frame to animate an existing Studio image or an uploaded frame.
- Use an end frame when the selected model supports a first-last-frame transition.
- Frame uploads in the chat approval card must be JPG or PNG files under 4 MB.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”Default video permissions follow this pattern:
| Tool type | Default |
|---|---|
| Browse video models | Auto-approved |
| Propose video generation | Auto-approved |
| Generate video | Ask approval |
| Show video job status | Auto-approved |
If video generation is blocked in Tool Permissions, Aethera can still discuss the request but cannot launch the render.
