Introduction to Video Editing

Video editing in Scenario allows you to transform, enhance, and adapt your video content using a comprehensive suite of advanced AI-driven tools. While video generation creates motion from scratch, the video editing suite provides precise control over existing footage, enabling you to achieve professional-grade results without complex manual workflows.

By leveraging industry-leading models like Kling, Luma, Wan, and HeyGen, you can now go beyond simple visual modifications to seamlessly generate audio, translate speech, synchronize lips, 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.


Available Video Editing Models

Scenario offers several powerful video editing models to help you transform your clips. Here is a simple breakdown of what each one does:

Primary Video Editing Models

  • Kling O1 suite: Including Kling O1 Video Editing, and Kling O1 Reference Video. These models handle conversational editing like outfit swaps and object removal, extend existing scenes, and maintain perfect character consistency using up to 10 reference images.

  • Luma Modify Video: Best for moving styles. It can take the movement from your video and apply it to a new character or world while keeping the original camera motion.

  • Wan 2.2 Video Editing Suite: Best for character and layout changes. Models such as Wan 2.2 Animate, Outpainting and Reframe can make a still image follow the movement of a video, swap characters while keeping the background, or expand your video edges to fit different screen sizes.

  • Pixverse Swap: Best for swapping subjects or backgrounds. You can easily replace the person in your video or change the entire background while keeping the original sound and lighting.

  • LTX-2 Retake: Best for fixing specific parts. It allows you to replace the video or audio for a specific section (up to 16 seconds) without changing the rest of your clip.

  • Lucy Edit (Pro & Dev): Best for natural language instruction. Use simple text commands to modify elements, change styles, or edit specific aspects of your video without complex prompting.

  • Runway Gen4 Aleph: Best for editing with text. You can use prompts to change the weather, adjust lighting, or add new objects to your footage. It can even create new camera angles or extend a scene past its original edges.

  • Video Foreground Extractor: Best for removing backgrounds. It automatically cuts out the main person or object so you can place them in a new environment.


Video Enhancement and Utility Models

  • Topaz Video Upscale: Best for clearing up blurry video. It sharpens edges and increases the frame rate up to 60fps to make your footage look smooth and professional.

  • Runway Upscale v1: Best for making videos larger. It increases the resolution of your video by up to 4 times to reach 4K quality.

  • Seed VR2 Video Upscale: Best for fast repairs. This model removes blur and noise in one step to recover small details like faces or text in low-quality clips.

  • Flash VSR Upscale Video: Best for super-resolution. A highly efficient model designed to upscale low-resolution video footage while preserving temporal consistency.


Dynamic Reframing

  • Luma Video Reframe: Automatically adjusts the framing of your video to fit different aspect ratios while keeping the subject in focus.

  • Wan 2.2 Reframe: Intelligently crops or expands video content to suit various screen dimensions.

  • Wan 2.2 Outpainting: Expands the visual canvas beyond the original borders of the video, generating new content to fill larger aspect ratios.


Audio, Speech & Translation

  • MM Audio: Best for sound generation. Analyzes your video input to generate realistic sound effects and backing tracks that perfectly match the visual actions and context.

  • HeyGen Video Translate: Best for localization. Translates the speech in your video to another language while automatically adjusting the speaker's lip movements to match the new audio track.

  • Lip Sync Models: Best for mouth movement. These models synchronize lip movements and facial expressions to make characters look more realistic and match their speech. For a complete list of available options, read our Lip Sync Models Overview.


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:

  1. Upload Your Footage: Import your own MP4 or MOV files, or select a video you have previously generated in Scenario.

  2. Choose Your Tool: Select the specific model that fits your goal, such as Topaz for video upscale for quality or Luma for reframing.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.


Conclusion: A Complete Post-Production Ecosystem

By integrating industry-leading models like Kling, Wan, and Luma alongside specialized audio, translation, and upscaling tools, Scenario empowers you with a comprehensive video editing suite. Whether you need quick fixes, dynamic reframing for social media, or complex style transformations, you now have the precise control required to elevate your content quality.

We encourage you to experiment with combining these different models in your workflow by using one for visual editing, another for audio generation, and a third for final upscaling to unlock new creative possibilities and achieve professional-grade results.
