AI Video Edit

Transform videos with AI โ€” swap characters, restyle, transfer motion

MediaAI

AI Video Edit transforms existing videos using AI โ€” swap characters, change environments, apply art styles, or transfer motion from one video onto a person in a photo. It's the fastest way to put yourself or a brand character into any scene without re-shooting.

Unlike traditional editing software, this tool works from natural language instructions. Describe the change you want โ€” "replace the main character with me", "make it look like a Studio Ghibli anime", "put this person in the dance video" โ€” and the AI handles the rest.

What you can do

  • edit_video โ€” targeted modifications: swap characters or objects, change environments, reference elements with @Element1/@Image1 syntax
  • restyle_video โ€” full style transfer: anime, oil painting, vintage film, watercolor, and other visual styles
  • motion_control โ€” place a person's photo into a scene video, inheriting all the motion from the original footage
  • check_video โ€” check the status of a running job and retrieve results when ready

Who it's for

Content creators who want to appear in video scenes they didn't film, brands that need to put their character or spokesperson into existing footage, social media editors doing viral remixes, and filmmakers experimenting with style treatments before a full production.

How to use it

  1. For character swaps, use edit_video with a video URL, a person element image, and a prompt like "swap the main character with @Element1"
  2. For style transfer, use restyle_video with a video URL and a style description like "Studio Ghibli anime" or "1970s film grain"
  3. To place a person into a scene, use motion_control with their photo as the image and the scene as the video
  4. All skills are async โ€” the tool returns a job ID, and you can retrieve the result once processing completes

Getting started

Have a source video URL ready (MP4, MOV, or WebM, 3โ€“10 seconds, up to 200 MB). For character swaps, also prepare a front-facing photo of the subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between edit, restyle, and motion control?

`edit_video` makes targeted changes inside an existing clip, `restyle_video` transforms the overall visual style, and `motion_control` transfers motion from a source clip onto a character image. They solve different kinds of video transformation rather than repeating the same workflow.

What kind of source video works best?

Pass a direct video URL for a short clip, typically 3 to 10 seconds, in a common format like MP4, MOV, or WebM. The manifest also calls out a practical resolution range of roughly 720 to 2160 pixels.

Can I preserve the original audio?

Yes. The edit and restyle flows include audio-preservation options, and motion control can keep the original sound from the reference video when that helps the final result.

How do I know when a video edit is finished?

These edits run asynchronously. Start the job, keep the returned request ID, and use `check_video` to poll the status until the output video is ready.
