Transform existing videos using AI to change style, add effects, or modify content.
Overview
The Video-to-Video node applies AI transformations to existing videos, allowing style transfer, effects, and modifications while maintaining the original motion and composition.
Inputs
Source Video (required)
- Connect from video generation nodes
- Or upload via Asset Node
- Any video format (MP4, MOV, WebM)
Transformation Prompt (required)
- Describes desired changes
- Style, effects, modifications
Outputs
Transformed Video
- Modified version of input
- Same duration as input
- New style/effects applied
Configuration
Transformation Strength
0-100% - How much to transform
- Low (0-30%): Subtle changes
- Medium (30-70%): Balanced
- High (70-100%): Major transformation
Model Selection
- Style transfer models
- Effect models
- Enhancement models
Output Settings
- Maintain aspect ratio
- Quality level
- Frame rate matching
Use Cases
Style Transfer
Input: Regular video
Prompt: "Transform to anime style"
Result: Anime-styled video
Visual Effects
Input: Scene video
Prompt: "Add cinematic color grading, film look"
Result: Film-style graded video
Era/Time Period
Input: Modern video
Prompt: "1980s VHS aesthetic, retro"
Result: Retro-styled video
Enhancement
Input: Draft video
Prompt: "Enhance quality, sharpen details"
Result: Improved video
Theme Change
Input: Daytime video
Prompt: "Transform to nighttime, neon lights"
Result: Night scene
Workflow Integration
Input from:
- Text-to-Video
- Image-to-Video
- Asset Node
- Explore Node
Output to:
- Video Stitcher
- Voice-Over Node
- Timeline Editor
- Another Video-to-Video (chain transformations)
Prompt Tips
Be Specific:
- Good: "Transform to watercolor painting style, soft edges"
- Bad: "Make it better"
Maintain Motion:
- Focus on visual style, not content
- Video motion/action stays same
- Describe appearance changes
Reference Styles:
- "Comic book style"
- "Oil painting aesthetic"
- "Cyberpunk neon"
- "Vintage film grain"
Best Practices
Transformation Strength:
- Start at 50%
- Increase for more dramatic changes
- Decrease to preserve original details
Chain Transformations:
Video → Video-to-Video (style) → Video-to-Video (effects) → Output
Quality:
- Use high-quality input
- Match output settings to input
- Test with short clips first
Tips
For Natural Results:
- Lower transformation strength
- Clear, specific prompts
- Match style to content
- Iterate gradually
For Dramatic Changes:
- Higher transformation strength
- Bold style descriptions
- Experiment with different models
Processing Time
- Depends on video length
- 5-second video: ~1-2 minutes
- 10-second video: ~2-4 minutes
- Longer videos: More time
Troubleshooting
Flickering:
- Lower transformation strength
- Try different model
- Use temporal consistency setting
Lost details:
- Reduce transformation strength
- More specific prompt about what to keep
- Try different model
Artifacts:
- Lower quality/strength
- Simplify prompt
- Use shorter clips
Slow processing:
- Normal for video transformations
- Try shorter clips
- Use faster model
Cost & Usage
- 1 video transformation = 1 video unit
- Length affects processing time
- Model affects overage cost
