Choose a source and a direction

Open Video Restyle / AI VFX in the sidebar. Select an example or use Replace video to choose your own source. Play or scrub the source to inspect the performance.

Write what should change and what should stay. For example:

Create an underwater world outside the window. Keep the reader, clothing, book, dry room and camera movement unchanged.

Choose a Restyle mode, such as Creative Restyle, Relight, Mask-based Restyle or First-frame Restyle. Add an optional Scene reference and review the output settings.

Mark a frame

Open Mask, then pause or choose a frame from the filmstrip. Use Select for a rectangular selection, Brush to paint, or Erase to refine it. Adjust the brush size and use Undo, Redo or Clear when needed.

With Keep selected on, the blue area is the part you want to preserve. Turn it off to mark the area you want to change. Check the instruction beneath the controls before preparing the request.

Current Mask tab with a real blue manual frame selection, Select, Brush, Erase, Keep selected and Undo and Redo controls. — A manual selection on the frame at 00:00. It does not track the subject through the video.

Masks belong to the frame you marked. They are not an automatic subject cutout or an AI-tracked mask across the clip.

Explore a first-frame look

Open First frame to work from the source video's opening frame at 00:00. The example's prompt is filled in and its current look is already selected. You can change the prompt or choose an image-edit model; Restyle frame currently opens the availability panel.

Current First frame tab with the source opening frame, Nano Banana 2 selector and four source-matched example looks. — Four looks from the same source frame. The selected look stays in sync with Edited first frame in Source.

For this reading scene, Example looks offers a raven cloak, an octopus, an ocean outside the window, and a winter garden. Selecting a look updates its prompt and the Edited first frame thumbnail in Source. Other sources show their own available looks.

Compare and prepare

Use Result only, Side by side or Split view to inspect an example. Choose Single or Grid, play the clip, and move the comparison divider to check the same moment on each side. The Zoom control sits alongside the playback toolbar.

Current AI VFX Guide tab with four visual workflow steps alongside the existing before-and-after comparison. — The current Guide shows four visual steps using the selected source, mask, edited first frame and result.

Open Guide for a visual explanation of the workflow. Choose Generate to view AI VFX availability and sign up for launch updates.

For an existing-video workflow that submits a generation, follow Edit a video.
