Edit a video in place

Use an existing clip as the source for a new video edit on your canvas

To edit an existing video in Breme, select its completed frame in Canvas and choose Edit video. Describe the visual change, review the editing model and its available settings, then press Edit. Breme uses the selected clip as the source and adds the edited version as a new result, keeping the original available for comparison.

Before you start

  • A completed video in a Breme project
  • Sufficient credits and access to a compatible video editing model
  1. Select the source clip

    Open Canvas in the project containing your video and select its completed frame. In the frame actions panel, choose Edit video. The selected clip appears as the source in the editing panel.

  2. Describe the edit

    Write one clear visual change and name the details you want to preserve. For the coastal driving example, ask for a different car color while keeping the road, camera movement, and composition.

    Change the red car to deep green. Preserve the coastal road, camera movement, and composition.

  3. Review the model and submit

    Check the Model picker and the settings shown for that editing model. Add a reference image if the model supports it and the edit needs one. Review the displayed credit cost, then press Edit. Resolve any source or settings validation message before trying again.

  4. Compare the new result

    Wait for the edited video frame to complete, then play it and compare it with the original. Check the requested change throughout the clip and look for shifts in motion, framing, or other details. Revise the prompt and submit another edit if needed.

    Use the coastal driving clip as an example of source footage for this workflow.

  5. Export the chosen version

    Select the version you want and choose Export from its actions panel. Pick an available format and press Export. To continue refining it, select an available action such as Reframe video or Upscale video and review the new result of that operation.
