Edit existing video with AI: prompt-driven changes to style, content, or composition for quick iterations and creative control.
This model gets stronger as the shot becomes more explicit. Give it a subject, a move, a frame, and a mood so the output feels directed instead of guessed.
Best results start with a directed prompt or a strong first frame.
Edit Video on Pixio is a generic entry for prompt-driven video editing: change style, content, or composition of existing video while keeping motion and timing coherent. The exact backend (e.g. Runway Gen-4 Aleph, Grok Imagine Video - Edit Video, or others) may vary; use this page when Pixio surfaces a general "Edit Video" option. For a specific model, see Gen-4 Aleph (Video to Video) or Grok Imagine Video - Edit Video.

Credits depend on the backend (e.g. Gen-4 Aleph, Grok) and input duration; check the model card in Pixio for current rates.
| Scenario | Best choice |
|---|---|
| Restyle or edit existing video (general) | Edit Video or specific: Gen-4 Aleph, Grok Imagine Video - Edit Video |
| Generate new video from image | Gen-4, Seedance, Kling, etc. |
| Character-driven from reference | Gen-4 Act-Two |
Start with a strong first frame when consistency matters more than surprise.
Keep each prompt focused on one primary motion direction.
Use shorter runs for iteration, then scale up for finals.
For narratives, structure the idea as Shot 1 / Shot 2 / Shot 3 instead of one flat blob.
A strong video prompt gives the scene a subject, a move, camera behavior, and a mood to hold onto.
Start from language and push for camera intent, pacing, atmosphere, and shot design in one move.
Start from a frame or reference when consistency matters more than improvisation.
Continue or refine the clip without throwing away the visual language you already established.
Edit Video works well when the prompt needs motion, framing, and visual direction, not just subject matter.
Use it for sequences that need a strong first frame, continuity, or a clearly controlled camera idea.
Treat each generation like a shot brief instead of a loose caption to get more cinematic outputs.
Start with either a directed text brief or a strong frame, depending on how locked the look already is.
Write the motion like a director: subject, action, camera behavior, environment, lighting, and tone.
Iterate fast on shorter runs, then move to stronger finals once the rhythm feels right.
Use it to build a stronger first frame, then hand that frame to the video model for motion and continuity.
Pair it with frame extraction, merge tools, or image prep so the motion workflow stays clean end to end.
