Editing & refinement

How to change a finished video — gallery iterate, production edit, and when to start a new generation.

Last updated August 12, 2026

Generation is the first draft. Everything after is scoped: changing one scene does not regenerate the whole film.

Iterate from OUTPUTS

On a finished (or failed-with-media) card, use the tile toolbar and More:

ActionWhat it does
RedoRe-run that leaf (new still or clip) with the same bind
ReplaceSwap the take
RemoveDrop a scene from an idle General Video (not Combined/master)
AnimateImage-to-video from a still (re-seeds when the act or camera changes)
ExtendContinue a video from the last frame (not a still-only control)
EditInstruction-scoped change; needs a beat when the leaf requires one
Use as inputAttach the file to the composer for the next Send

Iterate follows file → producing-run lineage. It does not rebind the session to a different catalog workflow. At most a few leafs run in parallel; a cap returns a clear error rather than stacking silently.

Face-swap / likeness edits require an explicit consent check at execute.

Production edit (idle General Video)

When a General Video run-group is idle (succeeded or a user-fail with media), structured ops are available from chat (dialogue, music, add scene) via the production-edit path — not a full iterate execute. Combined/master has no Redo. Film sequences that are namespaced may require a replan instead of add_scene.

Identity and audio

Subject plates, wardrobe, and designed voices persist across edits. Re-animating a speaking scene keeps the visual contract and re-bakes the line unless you change the words. Broadcast masters stay frame-exact when you asked for :15/:30/:60.

When to edit vs start over

  • Iterate / production edit when the take is right and a detail is wrong.
  • + New generation when the concept changed. New does not unload the document; it mints a fresh session. Use Use as input if you want a prior still in the next brief.

For lineage, open Nodes. There is no separate “step-by-step pause the whole pipeline” mode on the platform path — QC and parks already stop spend when something cannot ship.
