Premium Studio is Live: Frontier Image Models Plus One-Click Animation

Premium Studio is now live on the EGAKU home page. It curates the six best text-to-image models on the market into a single panel, lets you generate with any of them, and forwards the result to a video model with a single click — no copy-pasting URLs between tabs, no re-uploading the image, no re-prompting.

The lineup:

• GPT Image 2 (OpenAI) — extreme typography control, dense detail, perfect for posters, magazine spreads, and UI mockups
• Nano Banana 2 (Google Gemini 3 Flash Image) — character consistency across up to 14 reference images, ideal for recurring characters and multi-shot stories
• Flux Pro (Black Forest Labs) — the photorealism reference, best skin texture and lighting realism
• Ideogram v3 — unbeaten at text-in-image: logos, posters, packaging
• Grok Imagine (xAI) — fast and looser, great for moodboards and concept exploration
• Seedream 4 (ByteDance) — cinematic colors, strong on landscape and architecture

Open /premium-studio. Each tier shows the model name, who built it, and what it's best for. The credit cost per generation is shown on the card so you can decide based on budget too. Click Open studio on the model you want.

If you're new and don't know which to pick, start with Nano Banana 2 for portraits or Flux Pro for product/landscape.

Every model card ships with 3 hand-tuned templates that show off what that model is good at. For example, GPT Image 2 has Magazine Cover, Product Mockup, and Tech UI Mockup — each one is a complete prompt you can run immediately or tweak.

Writing from scratch? Keep it descriptive. Newer models like Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2 prefer full sentences over comma-separated tags. Mention subject, setting, lighting, and any text you want rendered.

Click Generate. The image takes between 4 and 12 seconds depending on the model. Premium Studio uses fal.ai's synchronous path so you get the result inline rather than waiting on a job queue.

The output is automatically saved to your gallery and to your generations history — both with full prompt metadata, so you can re-run or remix later.

Below the generated still, three handoff buttons appear:

• Movie Board — turn the still into a multi-shot 15-second cinematic clip with BGM, animated by Seedance 2 Pro
• Talking Avatar — drive the face with TTS audio so the subject speaks (OmniHuman v1.5)
• Adult Ref→Video — Pro+ NSFW i2v with face identity lock (only visible when you have access)

Tap one and your image is pre-loaded into the target page. Add a motion prompt ("camera pushes in slowly, subject turns toward camera") and hit generate. The Image → Motion handoff is the whole point of this release: it's the same workflow you'd do manually across 3 tabs, collapsed into two clicks.

Prompt for Nano Banana 2:

A 28-year-old confident Japanese woman with shoulder-length black hair, warm smile, wearing a cream knit sweater, sitting in a sunlit Tokyo cafe, soft window backlight, photorealistic, magazine portrait quality

Generate → got the still in 6 seconds. Tap Movie Board. Motion prompt:

Slow push-in, the woman lifts her coffee cup, steam rises, gentle smile widens, soft natural breathing motion

Seedance 2 Pro returns a 5-second 1080p clip in ~45 seconds. Repeat for two more shots, the Movie Board assembles them with BGM, and you have a 15-second short ready for Instagram or TikTok export — without ever leaving EGAKU.

• Match the model to the asset. Don't ask Ideogram for a photoreal portrait — its strength is text. Don't ask GPT Image 2 for an anime girl — that's Nano Banana 2's lane.
• Be explicit about lighting. "Soft window light from the left", "golden hour backlight", "ring light directly above" — these single phrases change the output more than any quality keyword.
• For i2v, describe motion, not the scene. The image already shows the scene. Tell the video model what should happen: camera moves, subject actions, environmental motion (wind, rain, particles).
• Use the 3-seed おまかせ feature in Movie Board when the first take feels off — it generates three takes from different seeds so you can pick the best one.

Premium Studio is available on the Pro plan (¥2,980/mo) and above. Credit cost varies by model:

• Nano Banana 2, Grok Imagine, Seedream 4 — 8 credits per image
• Flux Pro, Ideogram v3 — 10 credits per image
• GPT Image 2 — 10 credits per image

The follow-up i2v generation is billed separately at the video model's standard rate. See /#pricing for full credit allotments.
