Text and authoring models
Text models write or revise text. They do not render the image or video described in that text. Choose the authoring node’s model separately from the image or video model that will consume its result.
The tables below enumerate the current selector, including a saved-node-only legacy value. Copilot and Video Analysis have their own configured models; changing an ordinary text node does not change those services.
Claude Opus 5.5
Section titled “Claude Opus 5.5”The current default for the Claude text-model selector. Use the generated default below for new authoring nodes; a saved node can retain another model.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Claude Opus 5.5 |
| Availability | available |
| Default for new nodes | yes |
Claude Fable 5.1
Section titled “Claude Fable 5.1”An offered Claude authoring option. This guide has no controlled Fable-versus-Opus script-quality comparison; judge the generated scene plan against the brief.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Claude Fable 5.1 |
| Availability | available |
| Default for new nodes | no |
Claude Opus 5
Section titled “Claude Opus 5”An offered Claude option for existing or new authoring setups. It remains a distinct model record from Opus 5.5.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Claude Opus 5 |
| Availability | available |
| Default for new nodes | no |
Claude Sonnet 5
Section titled “Claude Sonnet 5”An offered Claude option. The Studio copilot uses a fixed model separately from the selector on an authoring node; changing a node does not change the copilot.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Claude Sonnet 5 |
| Availability | available |
| Default for new nodes | no |
Claude Opus 4.8
Section titled “Claude Opus 4.8”An older offered option. An older model remaining selectable is different from a retired model.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Claude Opus 4.8 |
| Availability | available |
| Default for new nodes | no |
Claude Sonnet 4.6
Section titled “Claude Sonnet 4.6”Deprecated for new selection. A saved node can retain this legacy value; do not use this entry as a recommendation for a new project.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Claude Sonnet 4.6 |
| Availability | legacy: existing nodes only |
| Default for new nodes | no |
GPT-5.4 mini
Section titled “GPT-5.4 mini”The OpenAI option exposed in the text selector. A different model choice may change wording and structure, so review the complete output before downstream generation.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | gpt-5.4-mini |
| Availability | available |
| Default for new nodes | no |
Prompting playbook and Studio example
Section titled “Prompting playbook and Studio example”Give the writer the goal, the intended audience, the facts it must preserve and the shape of the required output. Separate dialogue from visual action. Name fixed constraints explicitly rather than asking for “something cinematic”.
For Prompt for the model, select the target video family and supply a scene such as: “One gardener opens a greenhouse door, notices a wilted plant, and waters it. Start before the door opens. Keep the gardener recognizable. No character dialogue.” Read the resulting text, check the opening state, and then choose the separate Video model. A polished prompt does not prove the clip will satisfy it.
Known failure modes and evidence
Section titled “Known failure modes and evidence”A writer can omit part of the brief, introduce a new character, put a reveal in the first frame, or give narration to an on-screen actor. Check the entire plan, including sound and references. Preserve omitted user requirements through a revision rather than silently shortening the brief.
The current model list and legacy policy are verified from the shared selector contract. This page does not claim a comparative writing benchmark across these seven model records. The dated video observations on model pages concern specific downstream renders, not proof of a text model’s general quality. See action and timing and narration.
