Video editing in Scenario allows you to transform and enhance your video content using advanced AI-driven tools. While video generation creates motion from scratch, the video editing suite provides control over existing footage, enabling you to achieve professional-grade results without complex manual workflows.
By leveraging industry-leading models like Runway, Luma, and Wan, you can modify visuals and upscale quality directly within the Scenario platform.
What is AI Video Editing?
AI video editing uses specialized machine learning models to analyze and alter existing video files. Unlike traditional editing, which relies on manual cuts and filters, AI-native editing understands the context, depth, and movement within your footage. This allows for seamless modifications that maintain visual consistency across every frame.
The video editing suite focus on three primary capabilities:
Refinement and Quality: Improve the technical aspects of your video. You can sharpen details, remove noise, and increase the frame rate of your clips to create smoother, more professional output.
Contextual Modification: Change the actual content within a scene. This includes altering the lighting, swapping specific objects, or changing the environment while keeping the original motion intact.
Spatial Transformation: Adjust how a video is framed and composed. You can expand the edges of a video to change its aspect ratio or remove backgrounds to isolate subjects for further creative use.
Key Editing Capabilities
To get the most out of your pipeline, Scenario integrates several specialized editing models designed for specific tasks:
Video Upscaling: Enhance your videos up to 4K resolution. Models such as Topaz Video Upscale, SeedVR2 Upscale and Runway Upscale clean up artifacts and sharpens blurred edges, making them ideal for preparing AI-generated clips for high-quality production.
Dynamic Reframing: Use Luma Reframe and Wan2.2 Reframe or Wan2.2 Outpainting to expand your footage. Instead of cropping, the AI generates new pixels to fill the frame, allowing you for example to convert 16:9 cinematic shots into 9:16 vertical videos for social media.
In-Context Editing: Powered by models like Runway Aleph, this feature lets you use text prompts and images to modify specific elements in your videos. You can change the weather, adjust the time of day, or add new visual effects to your existing scenes.
Element Replacement: Models like Pixverse Swap and Wan2.2 Animate allow you to replace characters or objects within a video. The AI ensures the new element follows the same movement patterns and lighting as the original.
Getting Started with Video Editing
The video editing tools are designed to fit naturally into your existing Scenario workflow:
Upload Your Footage: Import your own MP4 or MOV files, or select a video you have previously generated in Scenario.
Choose Your Tool: Select the specific model that fits your goal, such as Topaz for video upscale for quality or Luma for reframing.
Configure and Prompt: Set your desired resolution and aspect ratio. If you are using a generative editing model, provide a clear prompt describing the changes you want to see.
Process and Export: Review the edited clip to ensure consistency, then download the final version.
Common Use Cases
Marketing and Social Media: Quickly reformat horizontal brand videos into vertical formats for TikTok and Instagram without losing the main subject.
Post-Production: Take low-resolution AI generations and upscale them to 4K for use in professional presentations or trailers.
Creative Iteration: Update a character’s appearance or change a scene's setting in an existing video without having to regenerate the entire sequence from scratch.
By combining video generation with these advanced editing tools, you can maintain total creative control over your assets from the first prompt to the final export.
