What you can do with video-to-video AI

Pick the edit, then the model built for it.

  • Restyle your footage

    Give live-action footage a new look — cinematic, animated, or illustrated — while the original motion and framing stay intact.

    Try Kling O3 Video Edit

  • Swap subjects, props, and backgrounds

    Replace a subject, add or remove an element, or change the background without reshooting. Seedance 2.5 can limit the change to a set time range in your clip.

Frequently asked questions

Video-to-video AI analyzes your original clip and applies changes based on your instructions. Instead of generating a scene from scratch, it builds on the clip's existing motion, structure, and timing. That lets teams change settings, relight scenes, shift visual style, or replace characters while preserving continuity. For tips on generating videos from uploaded footage, see Artlist's Help Center.
