Edit the clip with words: “make it night” instead of a new shoot

The clip is almost right, but you need other weather, time of day or clothes? The viewer of a finished clip has an “Edit the clip with words” button: the clip becomes the source, you write what to change, and the motion, framing and length stay as they were.

Updated:

In short
  • Open a finished clip in “My generations” → the actions menu → Edit the clip with words. Nothing is sent by itself: the clip goes into the video composer and you write what to change.
  • Clips from 3 to 15 seconds are edited by the Kling 3.0 Omni model (Transformation mode). The price by source length is on the strip and on the “Generate” button.
  • Clips of 15–60 seconds are edited by HappyHorse: first the “Editing a long clip” window with a “noticeably more expensive” warning and the sum for the whole clip.
  • A clip longer than 60 seconds, or shorter than 3 seconds, cannot be edited with words.
  • Six ready-made edits — “Night”, “Rain”, “Sunset”, “Different outfit”, “Remove an object”, “Anime style”: a click only fills in the text.

1How to start

  1. Open a finished clip

    In “My generations” click the clip tile to open the viewer.

  2. Choose the action

    In the actions menu click Edit the clip with words. The item exists only for videos, not for images.

  3. Wait for the preparation

    Studio measures the clip length itself. If all is well it closes the viewer, opens the video composer and shows “Clip added — describe what to change, the price is on the button”.

  4. Check the composer

    The clip stands as the source (labelled “Original”), the Kling 3.0 Omni model is chosen, sound is off, and the duration is set from the clip length (but not above 15 seconds). Earlier images, the end frame and video references are removed from the composer.

2The strip with the price and ready-made edits

A strip Edit the clip with words appears above the description field. On its right it says, for example, “7 s · 49 tokens” — the source length and the price the server calculated for exactly this clip. The Remove the clip button cancels the edit mode.

The strip “Edit the clip with words · 7 s · 49 tokens” with the buttons Night, Rain, Sunset, Different outfit, Remove an object, Anime style.
The strip above the description field: source length, price and six ready-made edits (Russian interface).

The six buttons fill the field with a ready-made phrase (it is written in English because the model understands it more reliably):

  • Night — the scene becomes night; action, framing and camera movement stay the same;
  • Rain — heavy rain, wet surfaces, drops and reflections;
  • Sunset — warm golden-hour light and long shadows;
  • Different outfit — the text has a place in square brackets: replace it with a description of the outfit;
  • Remove an object — in the square brackets write what to remove;
  • Anime style — the whole clip is redrawn as hand-drawn anime.

A click starts nothing: the phrase appears in the field and you can add to it or replace it with your own. Under the strip is a reminder: “Describe what to change — motion, framing and length stay as in the clip. Replace the words in square brackets with your own.”

TipKeep it short and to the point: what to change, not the whole story again. The model takes motion, framing and duration from the source clip.

3Running it and the price

  1. Describe the edit

    Click a ready-made option or write your own text in the description field.

  2. Look at the price

    The price is on the strip and on the Generate button, with the time next to it, for example “~2 min” (in our 30-day statistics the median for Kling 3.0 Omni is about 2 minutes).

  3. Press “Generate”

    The edit runs like an ordinary video generation: the finished clip appears in “My generations” as a new entry; the original is not changed.

⚡The price is calculated from the source clip length and the quality, not from the model's “card” rate. Reference points from the server's calculation: Kling 3.0 Omni — about 5.5 tokens per second at 720p and about 7 at 1080p (a 7 s clip is roughly 49–50 tokens at 1080p, as on the strip); HappyHorse for long clips — about 14.5 tokens per second at 720p. The exact sum is always shown on the strip or in the window before you run it. 1 token ≈ $0.025.

Whole seconds of the source are counted: for Kling at most 15–16, for HappyHorse at most 60. Sound is not generated again in this mode, so it is not part of the price.

4Clips of 15–60 seconds: HappyHorse

If a clip is longer than 15 seconds, Kling does not take it. Studio offers HappyHorse and first opens the Editing a long clip window. It says: “The clip is N s — longer than 15 seconds. Only HappyHorse edits such clips, and it costs noticeably more than a regular edit. Below is the price for the whole clip.”

  1. Read the price

    The window shows the price for the whole clip, its length and your balance. If there is not enough money the button is disabled and it says “Insufficient balance”.

  2. Press “Continue to edit”

    Only then is the clip put into the composer, with quality set to 720p. Above the description field there is the note “HappyHorse, pricier than usual”.

  3. Describe the edit and run it

    The price on the “Generate” button comes from the server, as in the regular mode.

NoteA clip longer than 60 seconds cannot be edited with words. A clip shorter than 3 seconds is not accepted either. In both cases the message says “you can edit clips from 3 to 15 seconds with words”.

5What is important to know

  • This is a new generation, not a filter: you need to look at the result, and each attempt is paid for separately.
  • The model keeps motion, framing and length, but may change details (face, clothes, objects); “Remove an object” and “Different outfit” do not guarantee an exact result.
  • You can edit only your own finished clips from the feed. The original clip is not changed — a new entry appears.
  • One editing model is used for “Night”, “Rain”, “Sunset” and “anime” (Kling 3.0 Omni, Transformation mode); you cannot pick another one in this mode.
  • Images have their own tool — quick edits; for the format, brand bar and joining of a finished clip see free finishing tools.

?FAQ

How much does it cost to edit a clip with words?

It depends on the clip length and quality. The price is shown on the strip and on the “Generate” button before you run it; an example from the strip — 7 seconds, 49 tokens. For clips of 15–60 seconds the price is noticeably higher; the “Editing a long clip” window shows it.

What does “nothing is sent by itself” mean?

The button in the viewer only prepares the composer: it sets the clip as the source and picks the model. Clicks on “Night” and the other chips only insert text. Charging starts only after “Generate”.

Which model edits the clip?

Kling 3.0 Omni (Transformation mode) for clips of 3–15 seconds and HappyHorse for 15–60 seconds. The name is visible in the composer.

Can I edit a clip made outside Gibrid?

This button is on clips in the “My generations” feed. For a foreign file the viewer has no such item.

Will the sound change?

In this mode sound is switched off in the composer and is not generated again. Whether the source clip's sound is kept in the result is not guaranteed — check on a short clip.

How is this different from “Continue video”?

“Continue” writes a new piece after the last frame. “Edit with words” redoes what is already shot: light, weather, clothes, style, while the motion and length stay.
