Not only will all the VFX/Effects I showed you be in @stages_ai + dozens more I designed that you can apply to your work and CUE will adapt them into your prompt/scene automatically. But, you are also going to have an effects engine that created all of these and will also create yours and you can save them as presets. 😈

Yeah we don’t play games. You copy you go down. 🤣 🔥

[Dustin Hollywood @dustinhollywood]

Another of the 20+ unique tools we have in @stages_ai that no one else has is our DROP ZONES!

If you struggle with prompting or just want to get better and not have all your generations half as good as they could be, or wasting money on gens, then you need @stages_ai because I have literally spent a year designing the perfect prompt engine based on how I think and create. Ask anyone who has used STAGES so far and they’ll tell you it’s the best, and sharp as hell! 🔥

You will only find this in @stages_ai anyone else does it they copied us and I’ll make fun of them forever. 🤣 not something they want as a company 🤣 not to mention our patents.. lol. Copying is not innovation.

So how it works.. you can pull any video/image into app on drag/drop, or from inside stages right off the grid! Drop it in, video up to 30 seconds, and then watch the magic!!

[Dustin Hollywood @dustinhollywood]

Simply head to the CASTING tool in @stages_ai and either prompt or generate from a reference image or simply load your references.. you choice!

You can even edit and inpaint and save different looks and switch them any time.

It’s automatically saved and updated across the app and CUE so using them anywhere becomes seamless!

Tomorrow we show you the real badass stuff..

..like SIGNAL our vertical storytelling editor.. 🔥 we’re the only ones with this, so if you see it elsewhere you know who they got it from 🤣

I made this specifically for artists using AI, and I’m damn proud of it.

Both editors inside @stages_ai are beautiful, novel, and built around workflows I haven’t seen anywhere else.

SIGNAL is our vertical storytelling editor, built for creators making series, story worlds, cinematic sequences, tutorials, campaigns, and entire visual systems in one place.

I want filmmaking and creating with AI to feel natural. I don’t think artists should feel like they have to hand the whole thing over to an agent. We can’t lose the human part of making things. That part matters creatively, emotionally, and legally.

Because here’s the thing: if all you’re doing is talking to AI and accepting what it gives you, that is not the same as physically making, directing, editing, sequencing, shaping, and authoring the work. When you start making real money from IP, ownership suddenly matters fast.

The answer is not to make a bunch of work you can’t protect. The answer is to own it. Forever. The only people that want IP dead are the ones that want it. I do not think it’s dead, in fact I think we are rapidly approaching a renaissance of data wealth for society, for ordinary people like us.

So we need to rethink how we see and interact with AI. Communication matters, obviously. But your authorship inside the work matters more. Anyone can say something cool. Making is the art. Physically making, choosing, shaping, arranging, cutting, refining, breaking, rebuilding, that is the thing. Skipping that mint healthy for your craft, you’ll become siloed, when y out are too in tunnel vision on process.

Not enough companies are showing artists different paths. I am going to, because I think we desperately need better options and more control. Not of the model, of our craft.

The more I use these tools, the more ideas I have. It feels fluid, fast. Like gliding through the process instead of fighting the interface. It has a learning curve, I’m gonna help you with that 😉 There isn’t one thought though when you’re creating. There are many. Choices are constant, not static.

So my question is, what if tools could feel that way?

What if they had purpose and movement that synced with how artists actually think? Instead of rigid and conformed.

That’s what this is.

And this is only the first iteration. I’m already on v2.

Tomorrow we show the real badass stuff.

@stages_ai is for the artists making the future before everyone else knows what to call it. 🔥

DIRECT THE UNIMAGINABLE
MAKE THE WORLD YOU SEE

[Dustin Hollywood @dustinhollywood]

She runs as a full autonomous runtime on our servers — not a chat window. Every request you make becomes a structured run: she resolves your intent, pulls your project's memory, picks her specialist crew, plans the tasks, executes them, verifies her own work, and saves all of it durably. Close the tab mid-job.. she keeps working. Your run is waiting when you get back.

She commands a crew of 23 specialist agents.. a creative director, a cinematographer, an art director, a prompt architect, a QA evaluator, a continuity auditor, a color grade advisor, a sound designer, a cost optimizer — each one a master of its lane, all reporting up to her.

She routes across 380+ models. 200+ image, 160+ video, plus music, sound design and 3D worlds — Veo, Seedance, Kling, Runway, Flux, all of them. She knows every model's limits, budgets and quirks, and crafts the prompt differently for each one.

She watches her own output. A 5-layer vision system scores every generation — prompt alignment, character consistency, continuity, quality — and if it's not right, she retries before you ever see it.

She remembers. Every project gets a Brain: your characters, locations, props, style rules, story. Tag #YourCharacter in any prompt and she pulls their face, wardrobe and continuity locks straight into the generation. And she writes a critique of her own performance after every single run.

She doesn't just generate — she operates the studio. She edits your timeline, builds storyboards from your script, works inside your screenplay, plans 3D worlds, organizes your assets, even books your meetings. 120+ actions across every tool in the app.

She listens. Real-time voice — just talk, she executes.

And she's connected.. After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, Maya, Unreal, Unity, Resolve — 13 pro-tool bridges, plus her own MCP server so other AI agents can work with her too.

A generator gives you a clip. CUE gives you a studio with a crew that never sleeps. ♥️

Hope you guys like showcases because all week long I’m showing you every inch of badass creative efficiency and imagination inside this baby 💪❤️ @stages_ai

I feel bad for anyone else releasing this week. 🤣

Now let me show you how to take every image model to the next level using CUE.. THE BEST CREATIVE AUTONOMOUS AGENT ON THE MARKET

[Dustin Hollywood @dustinhollywood]

Welcome to CUE SEASIONS.. this is only the first and it’s just me so no one special yet haha but this weekly podcast and video post will be with creators around the world using @stages_ai and showcasing their workflows, work, and the ideas that come to life using the platform!

This is an exploration of how far we can take technology and the arts when an artist is building and designing for you because every pain point we’ve ever had, I have too, as one of you. ❤️

This is a new day. Artists are my partners, my brethren, I need nothing from you but your happiness, friendship, and trust that my vision for what I’ve built and continue to build in our roadmap, is worth supporting, because ultimately all I want is for YOU to be successful. So I made the tools I needed and somewhere along the way it became about more than me, it became about us.. At the end of the day STAGES will be successful because it’s not the money that drives me and never will be. It’s that I know I can build anything now, and I can do it at an extreme level forever, and for the right reasons. 🔥

Welcome to @stages_ai baby. 💯 LFG

Take a peak at what ME and CUE were up to last night 😈

@dustinhollywood @stages_ai 😵🔥

[Dustin Hollywood @dustinhollywood]

Cue is so smart she picked up that Buck’s studio has an ON AIR sign from an image reference only buried in a tool from one image out of dozens on a totally separate app page. 🔥

I didn’t call it out in the prompt. It wasn’t written in the character DNA. It was buried in a separate reference inside CASTING, then carried into a completely different tool and interpreted by CUE’s cinematographer sub-agent.

THIS IS REAL INTELLIGENCE, REAL CONTINUITY

That is the part people should pay attention to.

This is not just “chat with an agent and hope it gets the vibe.” Or it does and can generate some videos with saved metadata in the same tool plain, which is the creative agents being passed around right now. This is creative orchestration intelligence across characters, references, tools, pages, memory, and production intent.

The direction I gave was simple:

“Buck has a flashlight and is in his radio studio. It’s dark, the power went out, and there is a horror story vibe.”

From that, CUE produced a full cinematographer’s breakdown with lensing, lighting, blocking, camera movement, negative space, atmosphere, and a generation prompt that preserved the ON AIR sign from the image reference.

That is why I think @stages_ai has the best creative agent system in the world.

Not because she’s an agent and has some project info to work off of, because she didn’t lol.

But, because she understands the world the artist is building and helps you make inside it. She doesn’t need a project plane or file context. She knows cause the entire system is her. Everything.

And I’ve only shown about 5% of what this platform can do. 🔥
