Project Profile & Settings

Project Profile is the canonical place to configure how a project behaves and how new generations start. Older links labeled “Project Settings” redirect here in Director Studio.

What you can set

Category Examples
Identity Name, description, category, tags
Format Aspect ratio, output format preferences
AI defaults Preferred models and options for image, video, character, environment
Visual Project poster for the story hero background
Operational Budget warnings, workspace options (when enabled)

Defaults apply to new work in the Creation Engine. Existing attached media is unchanged.

Where to open Project Profile

  • Director Studio → project menu (hamburger) → Project Profile, or
  • Navigate to view=project-profile with your project open

Cast and set JSON (universe kit style data) may still be edited from story-related views and saved via project settings APIs — creative structure also lives in Elements.

Project Manager (separate)

Project Manager covers lightweight production ops: contacts, todos, notes. It is not the same as Project Profile metadata and AI defaults.

Relationship to Elements

Surface Purpose
Project Profile Project-wide metadata and generation defaults
Elements Cast, sets, and reference assets
Overview Scenes and shots structure

Keep creative cast/set work in Elements; keep “how tools behave by default” in Project Profile.

Tips

  • Set video defaults before generating many shots
  • Upload or generate a poster early — it appears on the story hero
  • Review Project Defaults for how defaults flow into the Creation Engine
