AI Video Editor

An AI video editor changes what is in a video rather than where it is cut. Instead of trimming clips on a timeline, you describe an edit, such as turn her jacket into a chrome gown, make it snow, or restyle the whole clip as a watercolor, and the model repaints every frame to match while keeping the original movement.

Mage’s Video Editor app does exactly that. You upload one video, write the change, and add up to two reference images when the change needs to look like something specific, such as a real garment or a particular place. The edit is applied across every frame, and the original motion and composition carry through.

It is worth being plain about what it is not: it is not a timeline cutter for trimming, captions or transitions. For joining finished clips into one file, Mage has Storyboard. For restyling footage, swapping outfits or changing the world around your subject, the Video Editor is the tool.

Say what changes and what does not. The model treats your video as the base and your words as the change, so a prompt like replace the denim jacket with a red silk bomber, keep her face, hair and the street unchanged gives it a clear boundary. Vague prompts such as make it cooler invite it to change more than you meant.

Name the thing being changed by how it looks in the video: the man in the grey suit, the car on the left, the sky. When there are several people in the frame, describe the one you mean by clothing or position. For a whole-clip restyle, say so outright: restyle the entire video as hand-drawn anime, keep the motion and camera.

Reference images do the heavy lifting for specific looks. A photo of the exact dress, a shot of the location, or a picture of the product will beat a paragraph of description. To change who is in the video rather than what they wear, use the AI video face swap or AI character swap instead.

• State the change and what must stay the same.
• Point at the subject by clothing or position.
• Use a reference image for any specific garment, object or place.
• One change per pass gives cleaner results than five.
• Turn on Keep original audio when the sound matters.

Each model accepts a different length of source video. Cherry 2 Pro takes 4 to 30 seconds, and its output follows the length and aspect ratio of your clip. Lemon, the default, takes 1 to 15 seconds. Cherry, Cherry Mini and Cherry Pro take 2 to 15 seconds, as does Plum. Berry accepts longer uploads but edits the first 15 seconds.

Pick Lemon for everyday edits at a balanced price, Cherry 2 Pro for the longest and most polished results, and Berry when the edit must stay very faithful to your reference images. Grok Video is available too, for sources up to about 8.7 seconds, with xAI’s safety filter applying.

Footage that is soft or low resolution edits better after a pass through the AI video enhancer, and a finished edit can be joined with other clips in Storyboard.
