Edit Video node

Edit Video takes a clip you already have and puts it through a change. Depending on the option you pick, that can be a new look, a colour grade, a resolution bump, or a fix.

This is different from Video Gen. Video Gen invents a new clip; Edit Video keeps the timing and the movement of the clip you gave it and changes how it looks.

1. Wire the clip into the init input.
2. Add an Edit Video node and open the Inspector.
3. Choose which change you want from the list.
4. Fill in whatever that change asks for, then press Run.

Two of the options swap what is in the shot. Re-Cast replaces the people with the cast in your pictures and keeps their movement. Re-Dress changes one object, outfit or location and keeps the rest. For Re-Cast, make the first picture the opening frame with the new cast already in place.

The list of changes is headed Workflow. Each one shows only the settings it needs.

• The upscalers have Upscale factor, 2x or 4x. The frame smoother has Smoothness, 2x or 4x, which adds frames in between for slow motion.
• The text edit has Edit prompt. The HDR conversion has HDR format, and ProRes profile when the format is ProRes.
• Seedance 2.5 extend has Length (s): how much new footage to add. Some other edits have Length (seconds), and the clip is cut to that length.
• Seedance 2.5 edit needs a source clip of 4 to 30 seconds. For a shorter shot, pad the clip to 4 seconds, run the edit, then trim the result.
• Kling 4 edit needs a source clip of 3 to 30 seconds and a prompt. It has Edit prompt and Resolution. Under the prompt it lists the names to use for each input, such as @video_1 for the source and @image_1 for the first picture. @Video1 and @Image1 work too.
• The relight has Resolution, Orientation and Prompt (optional). The restyles have Control strength or Restyle strength: how far the result moves from the source.
• The camera re-angle has Camera move (prompt), a short phrase for the move, and Camera strength.
• The depth and normal maps link to Read the Depth Pass guide, which explains what to do with them.
• The green screen key has Screen, Spill removal, Clean up specks (tracking markers, small islands) and Output. Output is ProRes 4444 with alpha, a matte, or EXR frames. To choose the subject, wire a Mask node into its mask input.

To put a different person or character into the clip, choose a swap workflow, such as Character Replacement. Swap a character in a clip says which one to pick.

To make a clip longer, choose Seedance 2.5 extend and wire the clip into its clip to extend input. Say what happens next in Continuation prompt. Set Length (s) to how much to add, 4 to 30 seconds. The clip you start from can be up to 30 seconds, and the price covers both.

Another way to carry a shot on is an Extract Frame node on the clip's last frame. Wire that picture into a Video Gen node as the first frame of the next clip.

To change a clip's background, choose Aleph 2.0 (video edit) or Kling 4 edit and describe the new background in Edit prompt. Or choose Re-Dress, wire a picture of the new place into its what goes in input, and say what to change in Prompt.

Upscale — Topaz (video) makes a clip 2x or 4x bigger and sharper, and keeps its sound. It is priced by the second of the result, more for a bigger one. SwitchX Relight (video) lights a clip again to match a picture of the light you want. It takes up to 240 frames: 8 seconds at 30 frames a second, 10 at 24.

Most video edits are priced by the second, so a long clip costs more than a short one. The estimate updates as you change options.
