AI Studio is Aura's creative production workspace. Its five main tabs are **Imagine**, **Music**, **Speech**, **Transcribe** and **Media**. Use them together to move from an idea to artwork, moving pictures, a soundtrack, narration and finished files.

  <Step title="Create the visual">
    Make an image in Imagine and use it as a supported video reference, or prepare a portrait for Lip sync.

    Create narration in Speech, compose a track in Music, or score an uploaded video with Music's Video mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine the result">
    Remix visual work or target music sections. Use Saved Edits when several song changes belong together.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and keep the files">
    Play and inspect the finished output, then download it or return through the workspace's history and Media library.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Access, credits and privacy

AI Studio generation/editing controls require **Pro or Elite**. Free and Essential members can explore preview-only controls; browsing does not unlock generation. Free members can separately generate **2 images per rolling hour in chat**.

Choose a model and supported settings, then read the displayed credit estimate. Image/video models, duration, resolution, variations, narration length, music generation, edits and training can affect usage. Do not assume all operations have one flat price.

Imagine and Music display **Non-ZDR** notices. Speech and Transcribe have their own privacy badges. A ZDR setting in chat does not turn a different creative service into a ZDR service. Avoid sensitive prompts and private references in Non-ZDR operations. See [plans](/account/plans) and [privacy](/account/privacy).

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Imagine only for images?">
    No. Imagine includes Image, Video and Lip sync; its settings depend on the selected mode and model.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I edit music after generation?">
    Yes. The song editor supports section targeting, precise insertion, extending and restyling, plus Saved Edits applied together.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Transcribe the same as Speech?">
    No. Speech turns text into audio; Transcribe turns an uploaded recording into text.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where is Aura Agents?">
    [Aura Agents](/build/agents) has its own top-level docs tab. It handles recurring or event-driven work, not Studio production settings.
