Cannon Studio is an AI video production studio and creator platform for building, finishing, publishing, and sharing AI-made content in one connected workspace. Start with an idea, build reusable worlds, generate images and video, add narration, music, and sound design, then polish your work with editing and delivery tools. When your project is ready, publish and discover creator work through Cannon TV, or browse the Marketplace for reusable assets that can support your next production. Use Cannon Studio to create shorts, ads, episodic content, explainers, concept films, social posts, and story-driven video projects without jumping between disconnected tools. What you can do: - Build reusable worlds with characters, locations, stories, camera setups, lore context, and more all from an idea. - Generate AI Images and Videos from prompts and references, or in natural language only with full world context of your characters, locations, and lore using the World Generator. - Keep creative continuity across scenes, shots, and future projects within the same world. - Preserve the context of your world as the lore, characters, and character relationships change as you write new stories. - It's not just an AI wrapper: - Edit, restyle, upscale, crop, resize, compress, and convert images. - Trim, crop, compress, transcode, upscale, and assemble video clips - Add Smart Motion, subtitles, overlays, transitions, and other finishing passes - Create narration, voices, lip sync, music, SFX, and scene-aware audio - Organize generated media in a project gallery and separate in-world assets from generations in your asset library. - Publish and watch creator videos through Cannon TV - Build a public creator presence with social discovery and engagement tools. Make friends, not followers. - Browse, buy, and sell creative assets through the Marketplace using in-app credits. - Collaborate with teams through shared Creator Flow workspaces and production handoff tools. Creator Flow helps transform a story idea into a structured project. Define the concept, characters, locations, scenes, and shot direction before spending credits on generation. Worlds let you save the context you want to reuse, so characters, locations, visual rules, and camera language can stay consistent across multiple videos. Cannon TV gives creators a place to share finished videos, discover other work, and build an audience around AI-made films, shorts, and visual experiments. The Marketplace extends that ecosystem with reusable creative assets and packs that can help speed up future productions. Cannon Studio is built for: - Filmmakers developing AI-assisted scenes and short films - Content creators producing social videos and reels - Marketers creating ads, product videos, and campaign assets - Studios and agencies that need repeatable visual systems - Teams building episodic stories, branded worlds, or reusable creative IP Whether you are sketching a first concept, building a repeatable production pipeline, publishing to a creator audience, or sourcing assets for the next project, Cannon Studio brings generation, organization, post-production, marketplace discovery, social publishing, and collaboration into one app. Cannon Studio mobile app is a companion app, and purchases are not supported directly on the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.cannonstudio.app/privacy
