Studio: Creating Props

Creating props allows you to design consistent, reusable non-human objects for your scenes. Props can include products, food, vehicles, electronics, furniture, tools, packaging, and other objects. Once saved, props can be reused across shots and projects to maintain visual consistency while directing.

Getting started

In the Framing panel, click the Prop icon or access it from the left-side navigation panel.
This opens the Prop modal.

From here, you can either:

  • Select an existing prop (ready to use or edit), or
  • Create a new prop.

Using an Existing Prop

Existing props in your Prop Library are ready to use immediately.

  1. Hover over a prop.
  2. Select the prop and click Use in Project to send the prop to the prompt area, or click the More icon to view and edit it.

When clicking to view and edit, you’ll see the available prop views.

From the prompt field, you can:

  • Refine the prop using the prompt field
  • Update styling and details

Creating a New Prop

  1. Click New Prop in the Prop selector.
  2. The Prop Library and Prompt Area will appear.

Describe Your Prop

In the prompt field, describe the prop you want to create.

For example:

  • Product type
  • Shape and size
  • Materials and textures
  • Color palette
  • Style or design language
  • Brand or packaging details
  • Condition (new, worn, futuristic, vintage, etc.)

You can also upload reference images to guide the prop’s appearance.

Using Reference Images

You can use up to 5 reference images to help guide the AI when creating a prop, allowing it to better match your vision. You can use images for inspiration or as exact references to maintain consistency with existing designs.

When adding images, you can choose how the model should interpret them:

Style Reference

The AI references the style, colors, materials, and overall appearance while allowing flexibility in the final result.

Best for:
Creating a new prop inspired by an existing design without recreating it exactly.

Match Exactly

The AI attempts to recreate the uploaded image as closely as possible, including shape, proportions, materials, labels, packaging, or surface details. 

Best for:
Reproducing a specific product, object, or design that needs to closely match the original.

Adding Reference Images

You can add up to 5 images from:

  • Upload history
  • Studio creations
  • Toolkit creations
  • Files from your computer

To use an image from your library:

  1. Select the image.
  2. Click Use file.

Combining Reference Images with Prompts

Reference images work best when paired with a detailed prompt.

In the Prompt Field, describe:

  • Shape and structure
  • Materials and textures
  • Colors and finishes
  • Branding or packaging
  • Environment or context
  • Lighting or presentation style

Example Prompt with Image

“Modern matte-black wireless headphones with soft leather ear cushions, minimal industrial design, studio lighting, premium product photography style.”

The uploaded image can guide the AI’s interpretation of these details.

Generate Your Prop

  1. Choose the number of images you’d like to generate.
    Note: Number of images affects credit cost.
  2. Click the Generate icon.

Selecting a New Prop

After generating a prop, you can choose your preferred version and refine it further.

  1. In the Generations Panel, hover over the output you want to use.
  2. Click Create Prop.

This opens the Prop Refinement Page, where you can:

  • Refine the prop’s appearance
  • Adjust materials, colors, or details
  • Edit packaging or branding elements
  • Write prompt descriptions to modify the design
  • Create additional angles

Refining Your Prop

After generation, you can:

  • Continue refining the prompt
  • Generate additional versions
  • Create multiple prop views

Why Prop Angles Matter

Prop views help maintain visual consistency across frames when directing scenes.

Generating multiple views allows the system to better understand your prop’s appearance from different perspectives.

Common Prop Views

Front View

A straight-on view of the prop that defines the primary appearance, labels, and design details.

Side View

A profile view that helps establish proportions, thickness, and structural details.

Back View

Shows rear details such as packaging information, connectors, seams, or surface design.

These views act as a reference set for your prop, helping ensure the object remains recognizable when generated in different scenes, camera angles, and lighting conditions.

Rename Your Prop

Within the Prop modal, you can rename your prop at any time during the creation process.

Save Your Prop

Once you're satisfied with your prop:

  1. Click Use in Project.

Your prop will now appear in your Prop Library and can be reused in future projects.

Managing Props

From the Framing or Directing panel, click the Add Prop icon.

In the Prop Library, click the More (⋯) icon on any prop to:

  • View & Edit
  • Rename
  • Duplicate
  • Delete

Accessing Your Prop ID

To use your props again:

  1. Go to the Framing panel.
  2. Click the Prop icon.
  3. Select your saved prop from the Prop Library.

Note: You can also add props by tagging using @.

For example, if your prop is called Red Sports Car, you can write:
@Red Sports Car parked outside a modern building

Maintaining Prop Consistency

When building a multi-scene project, maintaining prop consistency helps your visuals feel cohesive and professional.

This helps maintain:

  • Product shape and proportions
  • Materials and textures
  • Branding and packaging
  • Colors and finishes
  • Object identity across scenes

For best results:

  • Use the same prop across related frames.
  • Avoid drastically changing the prop description in prompts.
  • Generate multiple prop views and angles.
  • Reuse saved props whenever possible.
