Media generation
Everything Aimogen Pro can generate or process as media - images, image edits, video, speech and transcription - and where each is configured.
Aimogen Pro generates and processes media in five ways.
Image generationSeven providers, where images are used, and how they are stored.
Editing and upscalingBackground removal, inpainting, recolouring and upscaling.
Video generationOpenAI Sora and Stable Diffusion video.
Audio and speechText-to-speech, speech-to-text and audio in posts.
Royalty-free imagesFree stock sources, and how images are matched to content.
Media Library toolsAI actions inside the WordPress Media Library.
Where media generation happens#
| Context | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Featured and in-article images during content creation | Featured images and in-post media |
| Images added or edited by the AI Content Editor | AI Content Editor |
| Images generated in an OmniBlock workflow | Block reference |
| Images the chatbot generates on request | Chatbot Extensions |
| Front-end image generators for visitors | Front-end AI tools |
| Manual generation in the Media Library | Media Library tools |
| Experimentation | AI Playground |
Provider credentials for all of it live in Image and video providers and Speech and voice providers.
Cost, honestly#
Media is where AI spending gets away from people. Relative order of magnitude per unit:
| Relative cost | |
|---|---|
| A paragraph of text | baseline |
| An embedding | far less than a paragraph |
| An image | many times a paragraph |
| A minute of speech | more than an image |
| A video | far more than everything above |
Practical consequences:
- One featured image per post, not one per section, unless you need them.
- Royalty-free sources and Cloudflare Workers cost nothing per image.
- Set the separate text-to-speech limits before exposing speech publicly.
- Treat video as a manual, deliberate operation rather than something a rule does per post.
Storage#
Generated media is served from short-lived provider URLs. Settings › AI Images › Copy Royalty Free / AI Images From Post Content decides where it ends up: the WordPress Media Library, or an S3-compatible bucket.
