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.
• The Seedance edits have Length (s). 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.
• 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.
• Replacing a character starts with Subject (actor to replace): Mark subject, or Re-mark subject. Then make the Subject mask and check it under Review tracked mask.
• The depth and normal maps link to Read the Depth Pass guide, which explains what to do with them.

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.
