How It Works

This node takes an existing video's configuration and generation information, applies your requested changes, and generates updated configuration data for a modified video. The system analyzes the change request, determines which aspects of the video to modify (such as timing, transitions, images, or effects), and produces new configuration data that reflects these changes. The edited video configuration can then be used to generate the final video output.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Change Video Duration

Input:

brief: "Product showcase video"
existing_video_config: "{...previous config...}"
existing_video_gen_info: "{...previous gen info...}"
change_request: "Make the video 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds"
images: null

Output:

video_config: "{...updated config with 30s duration...}"
video_gen_info: "{...updated generation info...}"

Example 2: Replace Images

Input:

brief: "Travel destination video"
existing_video_config: "{...previous config...}"
existing_video_gen_info: "{...previous gen info...}"
change_request: "Replace the beach images with mountain landscape images"
images: [
  "https://example.com/mountain1.jpg",
  "https://example.com/mountain2.jpg",
  "https://example.com/mountain3.jpg"
]

Output:

video_config: "{...config with new mountain images...}"
video_gen_info: "{...updated generation info...}"

Example 3: Adjust Transitions

Input:

brief: "Corporate presentation video"
existing_video_config: "{...previous config...}"
existing_video_gen_info: "{...previous gen info...}"
change_request: "Change all transitions to fade effects and slow down the pace"
images: null

Output:

video_config: "{...config with fade transitions and slower timing...}"
video_gen_info: "{...updated generation info...}"

Common Use Cases

• Duration Adjustment: Modify video length to meet specific time requirements

• Content Updates: Replace outdated images or footage with new content

• Transition Changes: Adjust transitions between scenes for better flow

• Pacing Modifications: Speed up or slow down video segments

• Color Grading: Apply different color filters or visual effects

• Text Updates: Modify on-screen text, captions, or titles

• Asset Replacement: Swap out specific images or video clips while keeping the overall structure

Error Handling

Error Type	Cause	Solution
Invalid Video Config	Existing video configuration is malformed or corrupted	Ensure you're using valid configuration data from a previous video generation
Missing Generation Info	Required video generation information is not provided	Provide the complete video_gen_info from the original video creation
Incompatible Change Request	Requested changes conflict with existing video structure	Simplify the change request or create a new video instead of editing
Image URL Error	Provided image URLs are invalid or inaccessible	Verify all image URLs are valid and publicly accessible
Processing Failed	Video edit processing failed	Check input parameters and try again with a simpler change request
Connection Error	Cannot connect to PixelML API	Verify your PixelML connection settings and API key

Notes

• Configuration Preservation: Keep the video_config and video_gen_info from previous video generation nodes to use with this edit node.

• Iterative Editing: You can chain multiple edit nodes together to apply changes step by step.

• Change Request Clarity: Write clear, specific change requests for best results. Vague requests may lead to unexpected outcomes.

• Image Optimization: When providing custom images, ensure they meet the quality and format requirements for video generation.

• Processing Time: Video editing may take several minutes depending on the complexity of changes requested.

• Original Preservation: The original video configuration is not modified; new configuration data is generated.
