Restyle a clip
Redraw a short clip in a new look with AI — what you can ask for, how long a source it takes, what comes back and what it costs — and what it does to people, mouths and cuts.
Restyle redraws every frame of a clip to a look you describe in words — a painting style, a film stock, a time of day. It is an AI pass that runs on our servers, so it needs a Cloud project, a sign-in and credits. This is the Mac and Windows app; the phone has it in the clip’s menu too.
Start a restyle
- Right-click a video clip, open AI passes, and choose Restyle…. It is in the menu’s ADDS A TAKE group.
- Under THE STYLE, IN YOUR WORDS, describe the look. The price appears once you have written something; nothing is charged until you choose to run it, and each run is one attempt.
- Under DOES THE RESULT SHOW…, tick anything the result will show. An identifiable real person, a minor, explicit content or a copyrighted character stops the run, and the sheet says so before you pay. Graphic violence is allowed and recorded with the take.
What it takes
Restyle takes a source up to 10 seconds long, and it redraws all of the source, not only the part your clip uses — trimming the clip does not shorten what is redrawn. The sheet names the source’s length, and for a longer source the menu row says why it can’t run.
What comes back
Every frame redrawn to your words at 1280×720, 24 fps, the same length, with the source’s own sound. It is priced per second, rounded up.
- People are redrawn too. A face can come back with a different skin tone, age or features, and someone talking can come back with lips that don’t follow their words.
- Cuts. Restyle looks for cuts inside the source and lists them under CUTS IN THIS SOURCE. Tick Keep this cut for each one you want kept: each kept cut redraws the next shot on its own, and can add up to a second to the bill. A cut you don’t keep, or one it didn’t find, comes back as one continuous shot.
- It is AI-made. Exports label it that way in their Content Credentials even though you shot the footage; see Content Credentials (C2PA).
Use the restyled take
The restyle does not replace your clip. It comes back as a new take of it, and your clip keeps showing the original. Right-click the clip and choose Review takes… to compare them; Make keeper puts a take on the clip. Switching takes is free and ⌘Z undoes it.
