Reshoot
Change specific areas or sections of your video using LTX Reshoot. Remove objects, add elements, or modify parts of a scene while keeping the rest of your footage unchanged. Perfect for targeted edits
Reshoot is the Studio workflow for changing a selected part of a video without starting over. Use it when a shot is close, but one moment needs a new action, a different object, cleaner timing, replacement audio, or a more specific beat.
Chat Video Pro uses LTX Retake to regenerate the selected segment while using the surrounding clip as context. Think of it like asking for a new take inside an existing shot.
What This Tool Is For
Reshoot is for targeted retakes. It is not a general style filter, rotoscope tool, or long-form editor.
Use it to:
Regenerate one short moment in a clip.
Change what a person or object does.
Add, remove, or alter a scene element.
Replace a short section of audio.
Fix a small scene issue without reworking the full video.
Try a different action while preserving the surrounding shot context.
Reshoot answers: "What should happen differently in this selected segment?" The clearer that answer is, the better the result.
When To Use It
Use Reshoot when the main problem is a specific moment, action, or element:
Change a short action
Regenerates the selected moment with a new prompt.
Replace a scene detail
Lets you modify an object or part of the shot.
Fix a bad beat
Gives you a new version of a specific time range.
Regenerate audio and video together
AV Sync mode creates a synced replacement take.
Regenerate only audio
Audio Only mode can change sound while keeping the picture.
Choose another Studio workflow when:
Remove an object from a clip under 5 seconds
Erase Objects
Keep a subject and remove the background
Rotoscope
Add rain, fire, atmosphere, or style
Add Effects
Change lighting or mood
Relight Scene
Increase resolution after editing
Upscale
Reshoot is strongest when the request is local and concrete. If you want the entire clip to become cyberpunk, snowy, noir, or golden hour, use Add Effects or Relight Scene.
Studio Path
The fastest route is through Studio.
Open Studio.
Choose Reshoot from the Post-Production department.
Load a video from upload, Recents, or your Premiere timeline.
Drag the timeline handles to select the segment you want to regenerate.
Describe the new content or change.
Choose the retake mode: AV Sync, Video Only, or Audio Only.
Click Reshoot Segment.
Compare the result and click Done when you want to send it back to your chat/library.
Studio opens the video editor directly in LTX Reshoot mode. You do not need to manually choose the model.
Classic/Editor Path
You can also use Reshoot from the classic video editor path:
Import or generate a video.
Click Edit on the video thumbnail.
Choose LTX Reshoot from the model selector.
Select the segment.
Write the reshoot prompt.
Choose retake mode.
Generate and review.
This path is useful when you are already working from a chat result. For new targeted fixes, Studio is cleaner because it opens the correct tool immediately.
Controls And Constraints
Timeline handles
Select the time range that will be regenerated.
Prompt
Describes what should happen in the replacement segment.
AV Sync
Regenerates both video and audio. This is the default mode.
Video Only
Regenerates video while keeping the original audio.
Audio Only
Regenerates audio while keeping the original video.
Reshoot Segment
Starts the LTX Retake job for the selected range.
Current constraints:
Model
LTX Video 2.0 Retake.
Segment duration
Minimum 2 seconds, maximum 20 seconds.
Default selection
Starts at 0 seconds and uses up to 5 seconds, capped by clip length.
Best working range
5-10 seconds is usually easiest to control.
Source compatibility
Chat Video Pro prepares incompatible video formats for Fal when possible.
Reference images
Not used. Reshoot works from the video and prompt.
Retake Modes
AV Sync
Use AV Sync when the new moment needs picture and sound to work together.
Best for:
A person saying or reacting differently.
A new action that should have matching audio.
A scene beat where motion and sound both matter.
Generating a fresh take of the selected moment.
Video Only
Use Video Only when the picture should change but the original audio should stay.
Best for:
Removing or modifying a visual detail while preserving dialogue or music.
Changing a movement while keeping production sound.
Fixing the look of a segment without touching audio timing.
Audio Only
Use Audio Only when the visual is fine but the sound needs a different take.
Best for:
Replacing a sound moment.
Trying a cleaner audio beat.
Keeping the original video while exploring generated audio changes.
Writing Reshoot Prompts
Reshoot prompts should describe the replacement moment as directly as possible.
Good prompts:
Less effective prompts:
The weak prompts either do not say what should change or sound like a request for a brand-new clip instead of a targeted retake.
Best Practices
Select The Smallest Useful Segment
Do not reshoot the whole clip unless the whole clip needs a new take. Shorter segments are easier to control and easier to judge.
Good segment choices:
The 3 seconds where the person reacts.
The 5 seconds where an object should change.
The one beat where the audio should be replaced.
Riskier segment choices:
A full 20-second section with several unrelated actions.
A segment where the subject enters and exits frame multiple times.
A broad scene change that should really be a new generation or VFX pass.
Say What Changes And What Stays
If parts of the shot should remain stable, include that in the prompt.
This helps LTX focus the retake instead of reimagining the entire selected moment.
Use Reshoot For Scene Logic, Not Broad Style
Reshoot can add or change scene elements, but it is not the best tool for broad atmospheric transformations. If the note is "make this night with rain and neon," use Add Effects. If the note is "change this cup into a phone for the next 4 seconds," use Reshoot.
Start With Video Only When Audio Matters
If you are editing footage with dialogue, music, or production sound you already like, try Video Only first. It keeps the audio stable while changing the picture.
Use AV Sync when the new video action needs new sound to make sense.
Compare Before Committing
Watch the transition into and out of the selected segment. A good reshoot is not just a good generated middle; it should also cut back into the original clip cleanly.
Examples
Change A Product Moment
Segment: 4 seconds where a product is held up.
Mode: Video Only.
Prompt:
The person holds the product closer to camera and turns it slightly toward the light.Result: A more useful product beat while preserving the original audio.
Remove A Small Scene Element
Segment: 3 seconds where an unwanted poster is visible.
Mode: Video Only.
Prompt:
Remove the poster on the back wall and replace it with a plain wall. Keep the person and camera movement unchanged.Result: Cleaner background without running a full object-erasing workflow.
New Reaction Take
Segment: 5 seconds on a character reaction.
Mode: AV Sync.
Prompt:
The person notices something off camera, smiles, and says a short surprised reaction.Result: A new action/audio beat for the same moment.
Audio Retake
Segment: 4 seconds with distracting sound.
Mode: Audio Only.
Prompt:
Replace the noisy audio with clean room tone and subtle footsteps.Result: Same video with a cleaner generated audio moment.
Troubleshooting
The result changed too much
Shorten the segment and add preservation language:
The requested change did not happen
Make the prompt more concrete. Name the object, action, location, and what should replace it.
The wrong part of the clip changed
Adjust the timeline handles. Reshoot only knows the selected segment, so make sure the selection starts before the change and ends after it has enough time to complete.
The selected segment is too short
LTX Retake requires at least 2 seconds. Expand the handles so the segment is 2 seconds or longer.
The selected segment is too long
Keep the selection under 20 seconds. For more control, split a long change into shorter beats and process them separately.
Processing fails on the source clip
Try exporting the segment from Premiere as a short H.264 MP4, then use that as the Reshoot source. Chat Video Pro prepares incompatible formats when possible, but clean H.264 sources are the safest input.
