What kind of source footage works best with Modify Video?

Clear and in-focus: Sharp details allow the AI to perform more precise edits, especially when you're aiming for element-level modifications like changing an outfit or a prop.

With clear subject separation (if applicable): If you intend to isolate and modify a specific subject, having good contrast between the subject and the background can improve the results. Simple backgrounds are often easier for the AI to work with.

With intentional background setup: When planning to modify just one part of the frame—like replacing the background while keeping the subject consistent—it helps to film against a clean, minimal backdrop. Shooting on a blank wall, greenscreen, or cycloramic setup provides better separation and leads to more accurate results. In these cases, traditional filmmaking techniques still play a key role in setting up footage for successful modification.
