Reference & editing workflows
AI Video Relighting Guide
Relighting should change illumination, not scene structure. Protect motion, framing and geometry while defining a believable new light source.
Direction
State where the key light comes from.
Color
Specify warm/cool balance or practical source colors.
Shadows
Keep shadow direction consistent with the new source.
Reflections
Update reflective materials coherently without redesigning them.
A practical reference workflow
- Identify the exact role of every reference: identity, product, environment, motion, start frame, end frame or edit target.
- Write down the elements that must remain unchanged before describing motion or edits.
- Describe one primary change at a time: action, camera, lighting, background, style or continuation.
- End with a stable target state that can be reviewed, edited or used as the next clip reference.
