# Reshoot
### Tutorial
{% embed url="" %}
### How It Works
1. **Import video** - Use Import Clip button or drag & drop
2. **Click "Edit"** - On video thumbnail
3. **Select "Reshoot" (LTX)** - From model selector
4. **Enter edit prompt** - Describe what to change in the scene
5. **Optional:** Select time segment (start time and duration)
6. **Reshoot Video** - Generate modified version
7. **Compare** - Use Before/After toggle
8. **Done** - Add to chat or close
### What Reshoot Does
Reshoot modifies specific areas of your video:
* **Remove objects** - Delete unwanted elements from scenes
* **Add elements** - Insert new objects or people into footage
* **Modify areas** - Change specific parts of a scene
* **Targeted edits** - Edit only selected time segments
* **Preserves rest** - Keeps unchanged areas intact
* **Maintains motion** - Preserves video structure and timing
**Important:** Reshoot is for changing **specific areas** of a scene, not for applying global style changes to the entire video.

### Writing Edit Prompts
#### What to Describe
Focus on **what to change in the scene**, not overall style:
1. **Remove objects** - "Remove the man", "Delete the car", "Remove background person"
2. **Add elements** - "Add a dog", "Insert a tree", "Add a sign"
3. **Modify objects** - "Change the car to red", "Make the building taller", "Replace the sign"
4. **Change areas** - "Remove the text overlay", "Delete the logo", "Remove the watermark"
#### Good Edit Prompts
✅ **Removing Objects:**
```
Remove the man in the background
```
```
Delete the car from the scene
```
```
Remove the text overlay
```
✅ **Adding Elements:**
```
Add a dog walking in the background
```
```
Insert a tree on the left side
```
```
Add a sign in the foreground
```
✅ **Modifying Objects:**
```
Change the car color to red
```
```
Make the building taller
```
```
Replace the old sign with a new one
```
#### Bad Edit Prompts
❌ **Style Transfer (Wrong Use Case):**
```
Make it cinematic
```
*(Reshoot is for changing areas, not style)*
❌ **Too Vague:**
```
Make it better
```
❌ **Describes Entire Scene:**
```
Person walking through a city
```
*(Reshoot changes specific areas, not the whole scene)*
### Use Cases
#### Removing Unwanted Objects
**Example:**
* Import video with unwanted person in background
* Prompt: "Remove the person in the background"
* Reshoot Video
* Result: Person removed, rest of scene unchanged
#### Adding Elements to Scenes
**Example:**
* Import video of empty street
* Prompt: "Add a car driving in the background"
* Reshoot Video
* Result: Car added, scene enhanced
#### Removing Watermarks or Text
**Example:**
* Import video with watermark
* Prompt: "Remove the watermark in the corner"
* Reshoot Video
* Result: Watermark removed, video clean
#### Modifying Specific Objects
**Example:**
* Import video with blue car
* Prompt: "Change the car to red"
* Reshoot Video
* Result: Car color changed, everything else same
#### Fixing Scene Issues
**Example:**
* Import video with unwanted object
* Prompt: "Remove the trash can"
* Reshoot Video
* Result: Object removed, scene cleaned
### Time Segment Selection
#### Full Video Editing
**Default behavior:**
* Entire video is processed
* Changes apply to whole video
* All frames modified
#### Segment Editing
**Optional feature:**
* Select specific time range
* Edit only that segment
* Rest of video unchanged
**Settings:**
* **Start time:** When to begin editing (0-20 seconds)
* **Duration:** How long to edit (0-20 seconds, default: 5 seconds)
**Use when:**
* Only part of video needs editing
* Testing changes on a segment
* Selective modifications
* Preserving most of the video
**Example:**
* Video: 10 seconds long
* Start time: 2 seconds
* Duration: 3 seconds
* Result: Only seconds 2-5 are modified, rest unchanged
### Limitations
#### Duration
* **Maximum segment:** 20 seconds
* **Recommended:** 5-10 seconds per segment
* **Longer videos:** Process in segments or trim first
* **Processing time:** Scales with duration
#### What Reshoot Maintains
✅ **Maintains:**
* Video structure and timing
* Motion and movement
* Unchanged areas of scene
* Overall composition (except edited areas)
❌ **Changes:**
* Specific areas you target
* Objects you remove/add
* Elements you modify
* Selected time segments
### Tips for Best Results
1. **Be specific about what to change** - "Remove the man" vs. "make it better"
2. **Describe the location** - "Remove the person in the background" vs. "remove person"
3. **Use clear object names** - "car", "person", "sign", "text"
4. **Keep segments short** - 5-10 seconds for best results
5. **Test on segments first** - Try short duration before full video
6. **Compare results** - Use Before/After toggle
7. **Iterate if needed** - Refine prompts for better results
### Common Workflows

#### Segment Editing

2. Click "Edit"
3. Select Reshoot
4. Set start time and duration
5. Prompt: "Remove \[object]"

3. Select Reshoot
4. Prompt: "Remove the watermark"
5. Reshoot Video
6. Clean video result
7. Done
### Troubleshooting
#### "Object not removed"
**Solutions:**
* Be more specific in your description
* Describe the location ("background", "foreground", "left side")
* Try different wording
* Check video meets requirements (duration, etc.)
#### "Wrong area changed"
**Solutions:**
* Be more specific about what to change
* Describe the exact object and location
* Try segment editing to limit scope
* Refine your prompt
#### "Processing failed"
**Solutions:**
* Check video duration (max 20 seconds per segment)
* Verify video file is valid
* Ensure API keys are configured
* Try shorter segment or different video
#### "Entire video changed"
**Solutions:**
* Use segment editing to limit scope
* Be more specific about what area to change
* Ensure you're describing a specific object/area
* Check prompt is for area change, not style
#### "Not for style changes"
**Solutions:**
* Reshoot is for changing specific areas, not style
* Use other tools for style transfer
* Focus on objects/elements to add/remove/modify
* Describe what to change, not how it should look
