See the action change Same people and scene — only what they do changes. Before After ## What is AI video action editing? AI video action editing retargets what subjects do inside an existing clip. Identity, wardrobe, timing length, camera path and background are locked; only the described safe action changes. Kissing, hugging, face swaps, nudity and sexual requests are refused. ## How AI video action editing works - 1 ### Upload a clear take 2–10 seconds, one or two people, readable limbs. Fast cuts and tiny faces are harder. - 2 ### Describe one safe action One verb phrase: "wave at the camera with the right hand", "walk slowly toward the camera", "sit down on the bench". - 3 ### Generate Preview 18 credits (2s) or full 5s for 40. Check that faces and clothes still match. - 4 ### Iterate with a tighter verb If motion drifts, shorten the prompt and lock what must stay: same face, clothes, camera, background. ## Why use AI video action editing on Make AI Video ### Action only Change the verb, not the person.
