Explore a new visual take from a source clip. Describe a scene, lighting, or style change, then compare the generated result with your original footage.

Start from existing footage

Choose a clip with a recognizable subject and write down the visual change you want to explore. A starting brief could be: Restyle the scene with softer golden-hour lighting while keeping the walking subject recognizable. The reference-video workflow accepts image or video material supported by the composer, with a prompt describing the new direction. Actual inputs depend on the selected model and the upload options shown in the interface.

Change the visual direction

Describe a new mood, palette, or setting. Keep one major change in each take. A starting brief could be: Shift the scene toward a cool, misty blue palette with gentle atmospheric haze. Reference media can guide a subject, composition, or visual direction; it does not promise a frame-by-frame copy. Review the result and make sure you have permission to use the source material.

Review before the final edit

Check faces, motion, framing, and any details that matter before using a regenerated clip. A starting brief could be: Keep the camera framing, introduce warm practical lights in the background, subtle cinematic contrast. Settings vary by model. Before submitting, review the supported inputs, aspect ratios, output options, and credit estimate shown in the composer. After generation, inspect the subject, text, product details, and overall composition before saving a result.

Start from existing footage

Use the workflow to give a clip a new visual direction with one creative goal you can review. Start with a simple input, then adjust the subject, composition, and visual focus. Keep useful prompt wording so the next iteration develops the same direction instead of changing every detail at once.

Questions to answer before a generative video edit

Review the input requirements, available settings, credit estimate, and result checks before you submit.

Need help? Contact support

Is this a timeline editor?

This workflow prepares AI regeneration from a reference clip. It does not provide frame-accurate trimming, timeline assembly, or caption editing.

Will the edit preserve every original detail?

Regeneration can change faces, text, motion, and composition. Review the output before replacing footage in a project.

When are credits used?

Review the estimated credits in the generation workspace before submitting. Preparing a prompt does not start a generation.

What reference media can I use?

The reference-video workflow accepts image or video material supported by the composer, with a prompt describing the new direction. Actual inputs depend on the selected model and the upload options shown in the interface.

Will the new clip copy the reference?

Reference media can guide a subject, composition, or visual direction; it does not promise a frame-by-frame copy. Review the result and make sure you have permission to use the source material.

How can I compare model settings?

Select the reference-video workflow to see available models and their settings. Duration, aspect ratio, resolution, and credit estimates vary by model; rely on the options shown before submission.
