Raw Video

About This Software

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Raw Studio is proud to present the next act: Raw Video 2.2 Image Studio.

Raw Video is a Windows desktop creative tool for local AI image and video generation. Create a new image, edit an existing image, animate a still picture into a short video clip, enhance the result, and assemble your clips on a simple timeline.

Raw Video is built for creators who want a local workflow without managing model files, chasing broken download links, buying cloud credits, spending generation tokens, waiting in remote render queues, or fighting through complicated setup.

The show is simple:

Create an image. Edit an image. Animate it. Enhance it. Build your timeline. Export your video.

Core Features

• Create Image mode for generating new still images locally

• Edit Image mode for transforming or revising imported images

• Animate mode for turning still images into short AI-generated video clips

• Custom motion notes for image-to-video generation

• Wide, vertical, and square image workflows

• Source-aware output behavior for landscape, portrait, and square-style images

Local AI Creation

Raw Video runs on supported Windows PCs. Steam installation, updates, ownership verification, and first-time activation may require an internet connection, but the creative generation workflow itself is designed around local processing.

The application includes the local engines, model files, runtime components, and video-processing tools it needs to run. Users do not need to search for external models, manually assemble folders, or rely on unofficial packages that may disappear behind the curtain.

Raw Video has a large installation size because the local AI engines, models, runtimes, and processing tools are bundled with the app.

The show travels with its own stage.

Current Workflow

Raw Video 2.2 Image Studio is designed around a straightforward creative flow:

• Create Image or import your own image.

• Use Edit Image to revise, restyle, or adjust the picture.

• Add motion notes.

• Click Animate to generate a short video clip.

• Optionally use Enhance This Video for a higher-detail 1080p version.

• Send clips, still cards, and audio to the Timeline.

• Trim, arrange, and export your final video.

The goal is to keep the workflow simple: create or load an image, describe what should move, generate the clip, polish it if desired, and assemble the final result.

Create Image And Edit Image

Raw Video now includes local image tools alongside image-to-video generation.

Create Image allows users to generate new still images inside the app.

Edit Image allows users to load an existing image and request changes, such as scene adjustments, outfit changes, style shifts, lighting changes, object edits, or text corrections when supported by the model.

AI image editing is not perfect. Small text, hands, faces, logos, fine details, and complex scene changes may produce artifacts or require multiple attempts.

Image-To-Video Generation

Raw Video turns still images into short animated clips using local AI video generation.

For best results, use sharp, clear images where the main subject is easy to see. Motion notes should describe visible motion, camera movement, expression changes, environmental movement, or atmosphere.

Good motion notes often include:

• A slow camera push-in

• Hair moving gently

• A subject blinking or looking around

• Subtle breathing

• Smoke, rain, fog, light, or background movement

• Small emotional expression changes

Subtle motion often works better than large action. A small movement done well can feel more cinematic than a complicated scene that asks the AI to rebuild the whole world.

Output Behavior

Raw Video uses source-aware output behavior instead of forcing every image into one shape.

Expected output types:

• Landscape images create landscape-style clips

• Vertical images create vertical-style clips

• Square or near-square images create square-style clips

Timeline export is designed to preserve aspect ratio consistency when possible. For mixed-shape timelines, Raw Video may use a presentation-style canvas to combine different aspect ratios safely.

Enhance This Video

Enhance This Video creates a higher-detail, upscaled version of the current generated clip. It is designed as a final polish pass after generation.

Repeated enhancement of the same clip is not recommended.

Raw Video performs size and duration checks before enhancement. Some clips may trigger warnings, and clips that are too long or too large for the current enhancement workflow may be blocked to protect stability and performance.

Timeline And Export

Raw Video includes a simple timeline for assembling generated clips, still cards, and imported audio.

Users can:

• Add generated clips to the timeline

• Add still cards

• Import audio

• Trim clips

• Arrange scenes

• Export a final video

The timeline is designed for simple assembly, not advanced professional editing. For complex editing, users may export Raw Video clips and finish them in a dedicated video editor.

High-Performance Hardware Requirements

Raw Video is built for high-end local AI generation. A supported NVIDIA RTX desktop GPU is required.

A GPU with 16 GB dedicated VRAM is the recommended target requirement. A GPU with 24 GB VRAM provides additional headroom for complex sources, longer sessions, and background workload.

Performance depends on more than the GPU model printed on the box. CPU, system RAM, storage speed, PCIe bandwidth, cooling, driver stability, background processes, model-loading state, and source-image complexity can all affect render behavior.

Systems below the recommended specifications may open the software, but they are not recommended and may experience very long processing times, failed renders, or unstable performance.

Rendering Times

Processing time varies by PC.

The first generation after launch may take longer because the local AI engines and model files need to load. During the same session, later generations may be faster if models remain loaded and system resources allow.

Generation time is affected by:

• GPU and VRAM

• CPU

• System RAM

• Storage speed

• PCIe configuration

• Drivers

• Cooling

• Background workload

• Model-loading state

• Source-image complexity

• Prompt complexity

Best Practices For Better Results

Raw Video works best with sharp, high-quality images where the main subject is close or at medium distance.

For better results:

• Use clear, well-lit images

• Make sure the subject is easy to see

• Keep motion notes concise and motion-focused

• Describe visible movement instead of rewriting the entire scene

• Clearly identify the subject or object you want to animate

• Use simpler motion for more stable results

• Avoid heavily blurred, compressed, or distorted source images

Blur, distortion, low resolution, compression artifacts, or existing AI artifacts in the source image may be amplified during image editing or animation.

Known Limitations Of AI Generation

Raw Video can produce strong local AI-generated results, especially with clear subjects and simple instructions, but AI generation is not perfect.

Users may see artifacts or inaccuracies in:

• Distant faces and background characters

• Hands and fingers

• Small text

• Crowds

• Water scenes

• Complex background motion

• Small objects or fast movement

• Heavily blurred or compressed images

• Existing AI-generated artifacts

• Very complex edit requests

These are normal limitations of current local AI image and video technology. Better source images and simpler instructions usually lead to better results.

Storage Notice

Raw Video has a substantial installation size because it includes the local AI engines, model files, bundled runtime components, and video-processing tools needed for local generation.

This is intentional. The goal is to provide a ready-to-use local creative workflow without requiring users to locate, download, or configure additional model files.

Safety And Content Verification

Raw Video includes responsible-use notices, prompt safety checks, and a local source-image warning for possible explicit adult imagery. These measures are designed to help reduce disallowed or inappropriate use. Some prompts or source images may be blocked or may require user confirmation before use.

These safety measures do not guarantee that every output is safe, legal, platform-compliant, or cleared for commercial use. Users are responsible for the content they import, generate, publish, or distribute.

Content Usage Guidelines

Raw Video is intended for lawful creative use only.

Users are responsible for ensuring they own or have permission to use any imported source images and any additional materials included in projects, including images, clips, music, logos, characters, likenesses, and other media.

Raw Video may be used for commercial projects when the user owns or has permission to use all source materials and the final output does not infringe third-party rights, violate laws, breach model usage terms, or violate platform policies.

Raw Video does not provide rights to copyrighted characters, trademarks, celebrity likenesses, private images, logos, or other protected materials unless the user has obtained proper authorization.

AI Technology Disclosure

Raw Video uses local AI models to create images, edit images, and generate motion/video content from imported or generated still images.

Generated images and clips may include AI-created or AI-assisted visual changes, artifacts, unstable motion, unintended details, altered appearances, or other transformations produced by the AI models.

Users are responsible for reviewing all generated content before publishing, selling, distributing, or using it commercially.
