Replace Scene in Video — Reimagine a Short Shot
Replace scene in video by Opus 5.5 Video generates a new setting or object from your short clip, using its subject and camera motion as guidance.
Picnic shot study · silent. Generated details can differ from your source.
Replace scene in video helps creators make a new short shot from existing footage, with an optional image for the intended setting or object. Generate a 5, 10 or 15-second MP4 at 480p–2K depending on the model; a 5-second source and output start at 31 credits (about $1.46). Generation is paid, signup credits are insufficient, and unpaid accounts may receive a moving watermark.

How scene replacement works
Scene replacement starts with a short source video and a clear visual change. This tool generates a new clip from that guidance, so review the complete result before adding it to your edit. The rest of a longer video stays in your editing project; upload only the shot you want to work on.
Upload one short shot
Choose a 5–15 second MP4 or MOV. Use a clear source with steady subject visibility.
Choose the change
New setting creates a warm studio; New object suggests a ceramic foreground object. Choose Custom for your own direction, and optionally add an image.
Review the price and generate
Check the measured source length and credits, then generate. Inspect the motion, details and sound before downloading.
Short scene examples
These three silent picnic clips show a wide composition, a moving tabletop view and a closer flower arrangement. Use them to distinguish the shot framing and details you want to carry into a new scene. A generated variation is a new video: matching the composition is a request to the model, not an exact-pixel promise.

Can I replace a scene in a video online?
Replace scene in video works online by using one uploaded short shot as a reference for a new AI-generated clip. To change scene in video, choose a new setting or describe your own. Replacing one timeline segment while leaving every other frame, subtitle and music cue untouched is a different editing task; this tool does not assemble a longer timeline.
Can AI replace an object in a video?
AI can attempt an object change by generating a variation of a source video with a different foreground object. Choose New object for a ceramic version, or use Custom to name the object and the desired appearance. Add a reference image when the replacement has a particular shape. The prompt asks for surrounding details and motion to remain recognizable; those details can still change.
Create a new shot guided by the uploaded video: the foreground cup is matte blue ceramic. Keep the table arrangement, hand movement and camera framing as guidance. No extra text or objects.
Is scene replacement free?
Scene replacement generation is not free on Opus 5.5 Video. The current signup allowance is 3 credits, while the lowest 5-second source-and-output option costs 31 credits, about $1.46 at the lowest monthly credit rate. A first purchase that covers that option starts at $5.00. You can view examples and choose files without paying; pressing Generate with enough credits starts a billed attempt.
Pricing & credits
Credits depend on both the uploaded source length and the generated output length. The table uses equal source and output lengths; your clip gets a quote before submission. Seedance quotes include a 0.25-second output rounding allowance. Dollar equivalents use the Enterprise monthly plan, $99 for 2,100 credits, rather than a standalone cash price.

Plans & creditsWhat scene replacement cannot guarantee
Replace scene in video creates new pixels; it cannot guarantee an unchanged face, exact object geometry, identical camera motion or frame-accurate continuity. Source audio, subtitles and transitions are not copied into a longer edit. The model may generate new ambience. For exact clip replacement, use a timeline editor and keep the original audio and subtitle tracks separate.
Use one shot per upload. Video requirements: H.264/H.265 MP4 or MOV, 5–15 seconds, at most 50 MB, 24–60 fps, 300–5760 pixels per side, 0.4–2.5 width-to-height ratio, and 409,600–8,295,044 pixels per frame. AAC/MP3 audio or silent video is accepted. The nearest supported frame shape is used. Clips with an extended frozen ending are rejected instead of delivered.
Scene replacement FAQ
A scene replacement job uses one source video and an optional reference image. Upload a 5–15 second MP4 or MOV up to 50 MB; use JPG, PNG or WebP for the optional image, up to 10 MB. Clear subjects and simple camera movement give the model more usable guidance.
Do I need a scene replacement app on my phone?
No app installation is required. Use a modern mobile browser, choose a compatible video from your files, and keep the browser open while uploading. Once the task has started, save its page link to return later.
Do I need to sign in, and who can access my uploads?
Sign in before uploading files for generation. Inputs are stored as unlisted media links so the model provider can read them; anyone holding a direct input link can open it. Finished videos are served through an owner-authenticated route. Do not upload footage you are not allowed to share with the model provider.
Can this replace a person or character in a video?
Custom instructions and a reference image can request a different character, but this page provides no dedicated identity lock or multi-person mask. Results depend on the source and model; review every appearance. Use only footage and identities you have permission to use.
Can I use a scene variation commercially?
You need rights to the uploaded footage, reference images and any people or protected material shown. Buying credits does not license third-party content. Check your intended use and the applicable model terms before publishing.
