DaVinci Resolve: Replace sky using Higgsfield AI

Demo summary

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Draw to Video tool
  2. Paint over the entire sky area of the landscape clip
  3. Type 'dramatic sky' into the prompt field
  4. Generate the replacement

Tips

  • Use this method on clips with flat, detail-less skies to create a more moody or high-contrast look
