DaVinci Resolve: Replace sky using Higgsfield AI

Demo summary

Using the 'draw to video' function, the creator paints over a flat gray sky and uses the prompt 'dramatic sky' to generate a high-contrast, moody replacement that matches the foreground lighting.

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
