For when you already have footage and want to redirect it. Provide the video, write a prompt describing what should change — the system produces a new version of the clip that follows your instruction. The original footage shapes the result.

When to use Edit Video

  • You have a generated clip that is close but not quite right (wrong color, wrong mood, wrong genre).
  • You have a real video and want to apply a stylized look to it.
  • You want to keep the composition and motion of an existing shot but change its subject or setting.

Generate

Hit Generate. You will get back an edited version of your clip.
Edit Video works best when you give it one clear instruction at a time. “Change the time of day to sunset” produces a cleaner result than “Change the time of day to sunset, add a horse, make it look like a Western, and slow it down.” If you have multiple changes to make — edit, review, then edit again.

Tips for consistent results

  • Use the same camera preset you used for the original — this keeps the visual style consistent across the edit.
  • Keep your prompts focused on the change, not on re-describing the entire scene.
  • Use reference images when language alone isn’t enough — a mood board is faster than a long description.
