Transform video environment with OpenArt VFX

Demo summary
The presenter demonstrates how to import a video of a woman in a parking lot and use a reference image and masking tools to transform the background into an ancient underground crypt.
Step-by-step
- Navigate to Video and select the VFX feature
- Import your base video and use the handles to trim the clip length
- Upload a reference image to the Target Look of the Output section or generate one using the prompt tool
- Go to Select Masks and choose a masking method like Auto Select, Smart Select, or the Brush tool
- Verify that the area you want to keep is masked, as everything else will be replaced by the reference image
- Describe the desired outcome in the prompt box
- Select your resolution (720p or 1080p) and quantity, then click Generate
Options
- Replace background
- Relight video
- Generate reference images on the spot using Nano, Banana Pro 2, or GPT Image 2
- Use 'Include areas' to isolate specific parts like the face by typing the name
- Invert the mask selection
- Adjust mask opacity or zoom in/out of the workspace
Watch out for
- Whatever you mask is what will be retained; unmasked areas will be changed based on the reference image
- The VFX feature is primarily intended for live-action video-to-video transformations
Tips
- Use Auto Select for subjects as it effectively estimates the main person in the frame
- Don't worry if the mask isn't perfectly accurate; the system typically works it out in the background
- If you have very specific details for the environment, ensure they are included in the prompt
