Change Day to Night, or Add Rain or Snow, in a Clip You Already Have

Quick answer: Open Edit this clip → AI visuals, choose Time of day (Daytime, Night, Dusk) or Weather (Rain, Clear sky, Snow), and press Edit into a new version. The clip is made again with the same shot, people, movement and lines, and only the light or the weather changed. It costs 2× the per-second price of the clip’s tier for the length of the clip. Your storyboard and the other segments of the scene do not change.

What each option aims for

Step by step

  1. Select the segment; under the player open Edit this clip → AI visuals.
  2. For a clip longer than 15 seconds, choose First half or Second half.
  3. Click Time of day or Weather, then the option.
  4. Check the price on Edit into a new version and press it. It usually takes a few minutes.
  5. Watch the new version. If the old one was better, switch back in Version History.

Night and lamps together

Night lights the scene only from the light sources already in it. An interior with lamps, a street with lanterns or a room with a lit screen turns into a convincing night; an open field with nothing in it turns into a dark frame. If the scene has lamps or candles that are off in your clip, you can run Lights → Light them up on the night version as a second edit. Lights and background people.

One change per edit

Time of day and weather are two separate changes. For a rainy night, run Time of day → Night first and Weather → Rain on the result. Each run is charged, and the second AI-edited version replaces the first in the history (the generated clip stays). How versions are kept.

Keep the scene consistent

An AI visuals edit changes this clip only. The storyboard still says what it said, the location image is untouched, and the other segments set in the same place keep their own light. If a whole scene should be at night, it is usually better to change the Time or Weather line in each of those segments’ storyboards and regenerate them, so every segment and any later regeneration agree. Use AI visuals when one or two clips are off. The segment header fields.

FAQ

Will the next segment match?

Only if you change it too. AI visuals edits one clip; change the storyboard and regenerate for a whole scene.

Can I make it night and rainy at once?

Not in one edit. Run Night, then Rain on the result; each is charged.

Does the dialogue change?

No. The lines, the movement and the timing follow your clip.

Can I choose an exact time, like 5 pm?

No. The options are Daytime, Night and Dusk. For anything more specific, edit the storyboard's Time line and regenerate.

Turn day into night

One change, a price on the button, and the daytime clip stays in the history.
