Edit Video lets you modify an existing video by describing what you want to change in plain text. Rather than using a timeline editor or compositing tools, you write a sentence describing the edit and the AI makes precise, pixel-level modifications to the clip. This mode is powered by Kling and supports a wide range of edits — from removing unwanted elements and swapping backgrounds to changing the weather, time of day, and visual style.

​
What you can edit

Objects

Add, remove, or replace characters, props, or items anywhere in the scene. Remove distracting elements cleanly without visible artifacts.

Environments

Swap the background or relocate the scene entirely — from a city street to a forest, from an office to an open field.

Lighting and time of day

Shift the lighting mood (sunset, dawn, overcast), change the time of day, or adjust colour temperature and shadow intensity.

Weather and atmosphere

Add atmospheric effects such as falling snow, rain, fog, or heat haze. Create dramatic environmental changes from a single description.

Style transfer

Apply a new visual style to the entire video — convert footage to look like a painting, sketch, or cinematic grade.

Camera angle

Alter the camera’s perspective, tilt, or zoom to change the viewpoint of a scene without reshooting.

How to edit a video

1

Open Video mode and select Edit Video

Navigate to Video mode. From the Kling model options, select Edit Video to enter the editing interface.
2

Upload your video

Upload the video clip you want to edit.Input requirements:
  • Duration: 3–10 seconds
  • Maximum file size: 200 MB
  • Maximum resolution: 2K
3

Describe your edit

Write a clear, specific natural language command describing the change you want to make.Example edit prompts:
  • Remove all cars from the street and change the time of day to sunset
  • Add snow falling in the background
  • Replace the concrete wall with a dense forest
  • Change the lighting to a warm golden hour glow
  • Apply a vintage film grain style to the entire video
Be direct and specific. Instead of “make it look more dramatic,” describe the actual visual change: “add storm clouds overhead and reduce ambient light by half.” Specific descriptions produce more predictable results.

Add reference elements (optional)

You can upload up to 4 reference images or elements alongside the video to guide how new content should look. For example, if you want to replace a character’s outfit, upload a reference image of the target clothing style.
When a video is present, you can upload up to 4 images or elements combined. Without a video, you can upload up to 7 images or elements.
