Timeline and duration
Generative extend
Creates new frames before or after an existing clip while continuing its scene and motion.
Use it to lengthen a shot, create edit handles, or finish an action that ends too early.
Large extensions may introduce identity, motion, or background drift.
extend the clip by two seconds, continue the same walking motion and camera directionTimeline and duration
Frame interpolation
Generates intermediate frames between existing frames to make motion smoother or change playback speed.
Use it for smoother slow motion or to repair uneven frame cadence.
interpolate frames for smooth half-speed playback, preserve natural limb motionTimeline and duration
Speed ramp
Changes playback speed progressively within a shot instead of using one constant rate.
Use it to emphasize an action or move smoothly between real time and slow motion.
start at normal speed, ease into slow motion at the jump, return smoothly to real timeLocal edits
Video inpainting
Regenerates a selected region consistently across multiple frames using surrounding visual and temporal context.
Use it to repair, remove, or alter a local area without rebuilding the whole clip.
replace only the masked sign across all frames, preserve camera motion and lightingLocal edits
Object removal
Removes an unwanted moving or stationary object and reconstructs the background over time.
Use it for production cleanup such as removing equipment, logos, or distractions.
Use only media you own or are authorized to edit. Do not remove a third party's watermark, creator credit, logo used as rights-management information, or other rights-management information without permission.
remove the microphone from every frame, reconstruct the wall behind it, no visible patchLocal edits
Object replacement
Replaces a tracked object while preserving its position, scale, perspective, and motion.
Use it for prop, product, wardrobe, or screen-content variations.
replace the blue backpack with a brown leather bag, follow the original movement and occlusionFrame and background
Background replacement
Separates the subject and places it into a different moving or static environment.
Use it to change location while retaining the foreground performance.
replace the background with a rainy city street, match perspective, reflections, and light directionFrame and background
Reframing
Changes aspect ratio or crop while keeping the important subject positioned through the shot.
Use it to adapt horizontal footage for vertical, square, or alternate delivery formats.
reframe to vertical 9:16, keep the speaker centered and hands visible throughoutLight and style
Video relighting
Changes light direction, color, softness, or intensity consistently across frames.
Use it to match inserted elements, correct a shot, or establish a new time of day.
relight as soft late-afternoon sunlight from camera left, stable exposure across the clipLight and style
Video restyling
Applies a new visual treatment while attempting to preserve the source action and structure.
Use it for animation treatments, material changes, or a consistent campaign look.
restyle as hand-painted stop-motion animation, preserve timing, pose, and camera movementMotion control
Stabilization
Reduces unintended shake while retaining deliberate camera movement.
Use it for handheld footage, generated jitter, or unstable horizon lines.
stabilize the footage, keep the intentional slow pan, lock the horizonMotion control
Motion tracking
Follows a subject, object, or point across frames so an edit stays attached to it.
Use it before replacing an object, adding graphics, blurring a face, or applying a local effect.
track the label on the moving bottle, attach the replacement graphic with matching perspective
