An edit prompt describes a change, not a shot. Everything it doesn’t mention stays as filmed, so the shortest prompt that names the change is usually the right one, and detail goes where the edit needs it. The clips below show what each kind of wording returned. Request fields, limits and pricing are on the FLUX Video Edit page.

Describe the change

Three edits of the same harbor clip. The bucket removal is a single instruction, Remove the orange bucket. The seagull addition names a location and a pose: Add a seagull standing on the corner of the crate. Neither prompt describes the whole shot. Start with the change, then add details that matter to the edit.

Add placement, appearance, and action

These two edits use the same harbor source. The short prompt leaves the lighthouse’s size, look and position open. The second asks for a tall white tower with a red lantern room and a place on the end of the harbor wall to the right of the boats.
Short prompt: Specific prompt: The short prompt put a small lighthouse far off on the shoreline. The specific prompt put a tall white lighthouse with a red lantern room on the end of the harbor wall, right of the boats, where it stays for the whole clip.

Fit dialogue to the clip

The fishmonger speaks for about two seconds, and the dialogue edit above gives him a line that fits that time. An earlier attempt asked for a longer sentence, and the result kept the first part and cut the rest. The new line can only be as long as the speech it replaces, so write it to that length. The result keeps the source audio unless the prompt asks for a dialogue or sound change. A silent source returns a silent result, so there is no speech to edit in a clip that has none.

Turn a rough animation into a finished scene

The source is a Blender blockout: gray boxes stand in for two vehicles and the pillars they weave between. The prompt names what each box becomes and what stays the same.

Apply another edit

The desert result becomes the source for the night edit below, so the sequence has three stages: blockout, desert chase, night chase. For a second pass, use the first result as the input and describe the next change, rather than combining both instructions in one request against the blockout.

Change the setting

The rock face becomes a glass skyscraper with a city below. The prompt names both the new surroundings and the surfaces the climber touches, so the hands and feet have something to hold in the new setting.

Restyle a clip

The illustrated claw-machine scene becomes a photographic-looking scene with a purple plush toy. The prompt describes the new visual style through fabric, seams, metal, and reflections, rather than naming a style alone.
