Edit video with references

Give an existing clip a new look using an image as a visual reference.

Source · terracotta setting
Edit · ivory studio

This Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash example uses two inputs: the video to edit and an image that guides its new setting. The result is a separate video node.

1. Add an edit step

Select your source video. Open Actions → Video Edit to create a connected edit node. In the new node, choose Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash.

2. Connect the reference image

Drag from the image's output handle to the edit node's Reference image input. Hover over a handle to check its name.

  • Reference video: the existing clip you want to edit.
  • Reference image: the look, subject or setting you want the edit to use.
Video above, image below: two curved connections feed the separate edit node on the right.

Use Reference image, not First frame, for this workflow. First-frame input is for starting a new video from a still; here, you are editing an existing clip.

3. Describe the change

Type @ and choose the connected image to insert its chip. Say what should change and what should remain.

The real @Image1 chip identifies the image; Media 2 shows that both inputs are attached.
Edit the source video: replace the terracotta wall and plinth with the warm ivory studio wall and pale stone in @Image1. Keep the exact blue cup, its steam and the original camera movement. One continuous five-second shot. No cuts, text or new objects.

4. Run and review

Check 16:9, 5s, the model and both connections. Use Run on the edit node to reuse the existing inputs; you do not need to regenerate the source.

Play the whole result. Compare the subject, movement and audio with the source—generative editing can change details beyond your instruction.

Keep a still from the video

Select a finished video and open Actions → Current Frame. Drag the playback slider to the moment you want, then choose Extract frame.

Pause on the moment you want to keep. This example uses roughly 2.5 seconds into the edited clip.

Wait for upload and scanning to finish. The still appears as a new Imported image node; your video stays unchanged. You can reuse it as an image reference or as the first frame of a new video.

Current Frame lets you choose a moment. First Frame and Last Frame take a still from the start or end of the existing clip. These actions extract images; they do not generate a new video.

Starting from an image instead?

Connect a still as the first frame to make a new product film.
