The Design Studio is where you create marketing creative — Instagram posts, Reels, TikTok videos, YouTube thumbnails, banner ads, email headers, lower thirds, kinetic typography. It’s a layered canvas backed by an AI design agent that knows your brand, plus a motion graphics runtime that animates real, editable layers (not flat MP4s). You’ll find it at /dashboard/marketing/design/.

Layered canvas

Every text, shape, image, and CTA is its own editable layer — drag, retype, restyle anytime

AI design agent

Tell the AI what you want; it generates images via your brand kit and lays out the design

Motion graphics

Animation is a property of layers, not a baked video — edit the headline mid-playback and motion follows

One-click export

Static designs export to PNG. Animated designs render to MP4 in the cloud

​
How this differs from other tools

The key difference: animation is a property of editable layers, not a flat video. Change the headline mid-animation and motion follows. Have the AI re-strategize timings on three layers and the rest stay untouched. Export to MP4 only when you’re done iterating.

​
Two project types

When you click New Design in /dashboard/marketing/design/, you pick:

Static / Image

A still creative — Instagram post, banner ad, email header, blog hero. Export to PNG.

Animated / Video

A motion creative — Reel, Story, TikTok, animated banner, lower third. Export to MP4.
The choice tells the AI agent what you came for. In an animated project, the agent animates the design after laying out the static frame; in a static project it skips motion entirely. You can change your mind later. A static design becomes animated the moment you (or the AI) attach an animation to any layer.

Where each piece lives

  • Canvas — center of the screen, where you arrange, play, and edit every layer
  • Layer list — left side, every text/shape/image/CTA stacked z-order
  • Style panel — right side, properties of the selected layer (fill, fontFamily, opacity, animation)
  • Animation panel — right side, applies coherent motion strategy across all layers in one click
  • Video tab — right side, next to Style and Layers: AI-generated video boards, from storyboard approval to the finished MP4. See AI Video
  • AI chat — collapsible right sidebar; talk to the design agent
  • Sample templates — appear in the New Design dialog; 18 layered animated starters
  • Templates: under the More tools menu in the editor’s top bar, the brand-substituted library of still layouts, 58 across 14 canvas sizes, grouped by size. See Sized templates
  • Comments: pin a note anywhere on the canvas. Each new thread files an item in the Ops Inbox so nobody has to watch the design for feedback
See the rest of this section for each surface in detail.

​
Working alongside the AI designer

You, a teammate in another tab and the AI designer can all have the same design open. Every save carries the version of the canvas it was based on, and the server refuses a save built on an older version rather than letting it overwrite newer work. In the editor that surfaces as one dialog, This design changed somewhere else, with two choices: Keep my version or Load their version. Your canvas is kept either way, so neither side loses work silently. The AI designer follows the same rule from its side: when its save is refused, it re-reads the design and re-applies what you asked for on top of the newer version instead of resending its stale copy.
