Starting point

Prepare a visual reference

Choose a still frame that shows the subject and setting to reinterpret. The video workspace accepts images rather than an existing video timeline.

  • Scene restyling and visual alternatives for a separate editing workflow.
  • An image reference and a focused lighting change help define a new shot; existing footage and its timing are not preserved automatically.

Shot brief

Neon street scene variation

An image reference and a focused lighting change help define a new shot; existing footage and its timing are not preserved automatically.

  • Example brief: “Use the uploaded street image as a visual reference. Create a new night scene with cyan and magenta reflections on wet pavement, one person walking slowly, and a steady medium camera view. No lettering.”
  • Use one principal action and a camera direction to keep the shot easy to review.
