How do I create a video effect by describing what I want?
Last updated September 30, 2026
Describe what should change, how it should move and what should stay the same. The invideo agent inside invideo Editor can use those instructions to build a visual treatment on your footage, even if you do not know the effect’s name.
A useful example request is: “Pull the brightest lights into soft trails to the right. Keep the dark areas clear, preserve my colour treatment, and make the trails subtle.”
Identify the clip or section you mean. If words are not enough, add a reference video and point to the relevant moment. After reviewing the first result, give a specific revision such as “shorter trails” or “less distortion near the centre.”
The agent handles implementing the treatment. You can finish using its available effect parameters and precise timeline controls.
If you want the scene itself transformed, say that explicitly. invideo also supports generative transformations; describing the intended result helps distinguish them from an adjustable effect on your existing shot.
