AI video editor: change a video by describing the change

A traditional editor rearranges footage that already exists. A generative AI video editor can create new footage inside or after your clip. You describe the change and it renders the result.

Two things you can do here

Extend a clip

Upload a clip and describe what happens next. The video carries on from the final frame. It helps when a shot ends too soon, or when you want one more beat at the end of a scene.

Edit a clip

Describe what should change, such as the weather, the outfit or an object in the scene, and the tool re-renders the clip while trying to keep the rest. Results depend on how big the change is. Small, specific requests work best.

Tips for better edits

  • Be specific: “change the red car to a blue one”, not “make it better”.
  • Make one change at a time.
  • Use short clips. They render faster and give the model less to keep track of.
  • Extend and Edit need a model that reads video, so choose one of the Seedance models in the studio.

What is it not?

This does not replace a timeline editor. For cutting, trimming, captions, titles and laying out a sequence, you still want a normal editor. Many people generate here and then finish in a free editor. Our CapCut alternatives guide compares the options.

A sensible workflow

Generate your video here. Extend or fix any shot that needs it. Download the MP4, then add captions and a logo in your editor of choice.

Try it yourself

Try a free preview, no card needed. Videos up to 20 minutes long, with sound.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI video editor?
It depends on what you need. Timeline editors with AI tools are best for cutting existing footage, while generative tools like this one create or change the footage itself.
Can AI extend a video?
Yes. Upload the clip, describe what happens next, and it continues from the last frame.
Can I edit a video I filmed?
Yes, as long as you have the rights to it. Small changes work better than big ones.
