What is Video Editor?
AI video editing uses an existing clip and a written instruction to generate an edited version. This page opens Seedance 2.5 in video editing mode so you can focus on the change you want to make.
Key Features of Video Editor
Guide changes to an existing clip with Seedance 2.5.

Edit from an existing clip
Upload the video that anchors your edit. The generator uses video editing mode and adapts output duration to the source clip.

Make your creative direction explicit
Explain the appearance, atmosphere or scene details you want to change. Be specific about what should remain recognizable and inspect the result.

Add visual context to your edit
Bring supported reference materials into your prompt to communicate the intended look. Use them to clarify a creative direction beyond a text description.

Use Cases
Use existing footage to develop campaign variations, scene treatments, and client revisions.
Advertising Creative Variations
Use one source clip to explore several campaign directions. Describe a different setting, color treatment, or atmosphere, and compare the generated edits before deciding which version to develop for your audience.
Product Scene Updates
Rework the presentation of a product in existing footage using a prompt and optional references. Explore a new environment or styling direction without rebuilding the entire creative concept from the beginning.
Film Look Development
Test how an existing scene feels with a different visual treatment. Describe the lighting, palette, and atmosphere you want, then review the edited clip with your team as part of the film’s look-development process.
Character Styling Concepts
Start with a clip featuring a character and describe an alternative appearance or wardrobe. Add references where useful, then compare the edit with the source to assess how the proposed look fits the scene.
Seasonal Campaign Adaptations
Revisit an existing campaign clip for a different season or occasion. Prompt a change in scenery, colors, or mood to explore a new direction while keeping the original footage as the basis for the edit.
Client Feedback Revisions
Turn specific creative feedback into a new version of a source video. Describe the requested changes, add relevant references, and compare the result with the original so clients can respond to a concrete visual revision.
