# Cinema Studio, every setting

> Every Cinema Studio control in one list: model, duration, frame shape, resolution, sound, seed and a batch count of 1 to 50. Check one, then make a video.

This page lists every control in Cinema Studio, what it does, and its limits. The options you see change with the model you pick, because each model (the AI engine that makes the video) supports its own lengths, frame shapes and resolutions.

For a walk-through from first prompt to finished video, see [Direct a video in Cinema Studio](https://reviral.ai/docs/cinema-studio).

## At a glance

| Control (label on screen) | What it does | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Text box "Describe the video you want to create…" | Your prompt: the words the model follows. Type `@` to point at a reference file | Most models warn above 2,500 characters; the page warns above about 1,000 words; hard stop at 100,000 characters |
| **Talk to the Director** (Free) | A chat helper that plans the story, then writes the prompt; **Use this prompt** fills the box | Free; never starts a video |
| **How to direct** | Opens the [Director's guide](https://reviral.ai/director-guide) in a new tab | — |
| **Reference photos** {n} of {cap} | Add photos the model copies (a face, a product, a place) | Up to the model's cap, 10 MB each |
| **Add a reference video** {n} of {cap} | Add MP4 clips the model copies (movement, camera) | Only on models that take video; 60 or 64 MB each; total seconds per model |
| **Add reference audio** {n} of {cap} | Add MP3 or WAV sound the model follows | Only on models that take audio; up to 50 MB each on most |
| **Model** | Picks the video model | Status dot: **Smooth** (no queue), **High volume** (busy, may need a retry), **Maintenance** (offline, cannot be picked) |
| Model tags | **Needs 1 photo** or **Needs photo or video** (you must add one), **No sound** (silent output), **Ref Video · {x}× price** (adding a reference video multiplies the price) | — |
| **Model parameters** → **Duration** | Video length in seconds | Per model; the longest models go to 30 seconds |
| **Model parameters** → **Aspect** | Frame shape, for example 9:16 (phone), 16:9 (wide), 1:1 (square), 21:9 (cinema wide) | Per model |
| **Model parameters** → **Resolution** | Picture sharpness, for example 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K | Per model |
| **Generate audio** (some models) | Switch: make the video with sound. Shows "(1080p only)" where a model makes sound only at 1080p | Default on |
| **Image upload mode** (Seedance models) | **Reference** (photos guide the look) or **First and last frames** (your photos become the opening and closing frame) | Default Reference |
| **Seed** (some models) | A starting number for the model's randomness; same number = closer repeats | Default "auto" |
| **Prompt optimizer**, **Add watermark**, **Audio setting** (a few models) | Extra switches the model offers | Shown only on those models |
| Count chip (**1x**) → **Video count** | How many videos one press makes: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x | 1 to 50 |
| **Custom count** + **Apply** | Type any whole number | 1 to 50; else "Enter a whole number from 1 to 50." |
| **Generate · {N} credits** / **Generate {n}x · ~{N} credits** | Starts the video(s); the number is your price | Batch asks "Start {n} videos?" first |
| **Recreate** (example cards under the studio) | Fills the studio with an example's settings so you can make your own version | — |
| **Plan with 3D** | Opens the 3D planning page. Shown only to accounts that have 3D access; it is not open to all customers yet | — |

"Adaptive" means the model picks the frame shape from your reference photo.

## Messages you may see while setting up

| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| "No sound - this model creates a mute video." | Pick a model without the No sound tag if you need sound. |
| "That resolution only supports the available duration shown in the controls." | Pick one of the lengths listed under Duration. |
| "Audio is only available at the higher resolution for this model." | Switch Resolution up, or turn Generate audio off. |
| "Prices were updated — refresh to see the new price" | Reload the page; the button shows the new price. |
| "This model is no longer available — pick another" | Choose another model. |
| "Not enough credits — this render needs {X}, you have {Y}." + **Top up** | Buy credits, then press Generate again. |

Reference-file messages are on [Reference images, video and audio](https://reviral.ai/docs/cinema-studio/references); messages after a video fails are on [Every error message and what to do](https://reviral.ai/docs/render-errors).

## FAQ

### Why can't I pick 30 seconds or 4K on my model?

Each model only offers the lengths, frame shapes and resolutions it supports. Switch to a model that lists the option you need.

### What does the seed do?

The seed is a starting number for the model's randomness. Leave it on auto for different takes; set the same number to get closer repeats.

### Can I choose the frame rate (fps) in Cinema Studio?

No. Cinema Studio has no frame-rate setting; you choose length, frame shape and resolution.

### Why does a model say No sound?

That model makes a silent video. The studio warns you with the line No sound - this model creates a mute video.
