How this tool works

AI Video Editor, with the inputs and limits made clear

Apply one precise natural-language change to a short source clip while keeping the subject, camera path, timing, and unaffected regions coherent.

What to provide

  • One source videoUpload the clip that contains the shot or object you want to edit.

Optional input

  • One visual referenceOptionally add a face, object, style, or replacement reference that clarifies the requested edit.

Steps

  1. Upload one source video no longer than 15 seconds.
  2. Write the specific change to make and name the subject or region it affects.
  3. Optionally add one reference image when the edit needs a visual target.
  4. Run the edit and inspect whether the requested change remains coherent across the shot.

What to expect

  • One edited video using the source clip as the temporal and compositional guide.
  • The requested change should carry across frames instead of appearing as a single-frame patch.
  • Unedited subjects, camera movement, lighting, and background should remain as close to the source as the model allows.

Where results can vary

  • A vague instruction or an object that is never clearly identified can produce an ambiguous edit.
  • Large scene changes, heavy occlusion, rapid camera movement, or multiple similar subjects can affect nearby regions.
  • The source video must fit the 15-second workflow limit; the output duration setting does not extend that source limit.

Practical starting points

Use AI Video Editor for focused video experiments

Replace a visible detail

Describe a sign, prop, color, or surface change while keeping the rest of the shot recognizable.

Guide a branded variation

Use an optional reference image to point the edit toward a particular object treatment or visual identity.

Correct a short scene element

Make a focused change to a social, product, or concept clip without rebuilding the full scene from text.

Questions before you run it

AI Video Editor FAQ

How specific should my AI video edit instruction be?

Name the subject, its location, the exact change, and what must stay unchanged. A focused instruction is easier to apply consistently than a broad rewrite.

Is a reference image required for the AI video editor?

No. The source video is required; one reference image is optional when it helps define the replacement face, object, or style.

Will the editor change the entire video?

It is configured for a targeted edit, but generative changes can affect nearby pixels or motion when the requested area is occluded or moving quickly.
