AI generation requires credits in your WZRD Studio account. If you haven’t added credits yet, see the Credits guide before continuing with steps 5 and 6.
Install WZRD Studio
If you haven’t installed the app yet, follow the Installation guide to download and mount
wzrdstudiofinal555-apfs.dmg, drag WZRD Studio.app to Applications, and bypass Gatekeeper on first launch.Configure environment variables
Create a Find these in Supabase → Project Settings → API, and Thirdweb dashboard → your project → Client ID.
.env file in the project root for development mode:Launch the app
From the DMG install, open WZRD Studio.app from Applications. If macOS blocks the launch, right-click and select Open.From source in development mode:This starts the Vite dev server and Electron shell together. The app window opens automatically.
Sign in and create a project
On the login screen, connect your wallet via Thirdweb — Google, Apple, Discord, email, passkey, or phone. The app exchanges your wallet token for a Supabase session and redirects you to the Home dashboard.Click New Project, enter a name, and click Create. You’ll land on the Studio Canvas.
Generate storyboard shots
Navigate to the Storyboard page (
/projects/:projectId/timeline). Add a new scene and write a prompt for your first shot. Click Generate to kick off AI image generation via the gen-shots edge function.Repeat for each shot. Use Auto-Generate to queue all pending shots at once — the app processes them with adaptive concurrency, so multiple shots run in parallel without overwhelming the generation backend.Run Director's Cut
Once shots are generated, open the Director’s Cut page (
/projects/:projectId/directors-cut). Click Create Cut to trigger the director-cut edge function. WZRD assembles your shots into a final video automatically. Poll job status until the outputUrl field is populated in the response.Export from the Video Editor
Open the Video Editor (
/projects/:projectId/editor). The QCut multi-track timeline loads your assembled cut. Trim clips, add titles, adjust audio, then click Export. Choose resolution and format and click Render — the file is saved locally and attached to your project assets.Next Steps
