The studio
The studio is a 13-step form that turns your moment into a finished story. Here’s what every step does.
| Step | What it does |
|---|---|
| 1 · Category | The type of story (Wedding, Brand, Product, Memorial…). Sets the style presets and prompt. |
| 2 · Visual style | Cinematic, Vintage, Dreamy, Photoreal — applied to image and video. |
| 3 · Format | Story, Story video, Book, Poem, or Letter — how the text is structured. |
| 4 · Subject / title | A short name for the story or its subject. |
| 5 · What happened? | Your raw facts and details. The core of the story. |
| 6 · Reference photos | Optional photos used as visual reference for image & video. |
| 7 · Output | Story (text), + Image, + Video, or Both. |
| 8 · Image engine | Which AI model draws the cover image. |
| 9 · Video engine | Which AI model generates the film. |
| 10 · Language model | Which AI writes the text. |
| 11 · Tone | Professional, Warm, Bold, or Empathetic. |
| 12 · Language | The language the story is written in. |
| 13 · Size & quality | Aspect ratio (image) + resolution: 720p, 1080p, or 4K (video). |
Reference photos (step 6)
Upload up to 6 photos (or paste image URLs). These are used as a visual reference — the first photo becomes the start frame for video, which gives you scenes that match real people and places.
💡 Make your characters consistent
Upload a clear photo of your subject, pick Nano Banana or Seedream as the image engine, then a video engine. See the consistent-characters tutorial.
After generation
- ✏️ Edit story — change any heading or section text, then save.
- 🎲 Regenerate — a fresh variation with a new random seed.
- 🎨 Redesign — change the style or engine, then apply a new look.
- ⤴ Copy — copy the full story to the clipboard.
Enhance prompt (step 5)
Type a rough idea and click ✨ Enhance prompt. 7stories expands it into a detailed, high-quality generation prompt using the category, style, and format you chose.
