How to edit your own video with AI: change the background, weather, time of day and clothing without reshooting

Alen founder of KADR Updated 2026-11-04 3 min read

You can change a video you have already shot with AI without reshooting: upload your own clip from 3 to 30 seconds to Kling 4.0 in «Edit» mode and describe what to change: background, weather, time of day, clothing colour, picture style. The result has the same length, and the sound of the original video is kept. On KADR (kadr-ai.ru) editing 10 seconds costs 208 tokens in 720p (about 329 rubles) and 311 tokens in 1080p (about 492 rubles), November 2026. A generation takes about 6 minutes. Below: what works well, prompts, limitations and how not to turn an edit into a deepfake.

How it works

  1. Choose Kling 4.0 in «Edit» mode.
  2. Upload your own clip from 3 to 30 seconds.
  3. Describe what to change and what to keep.
  4. Get a clip of the same length, with the original sound.

About 6 minutes of waiting. More about the model: Kling 4.0 review.

«Edit» mode is also available for other models on KADR (kadr-ai.ru): Kling O3 (a clip from 3 to 15 seconds, you can add up to 4 reference photos), Seedance 2.5 (from 4 to 30 seconds, up to 6 reference photos) and Gemini Omni Flash (MP4 from 3 to 10 seconds). Below we talk about Kling 4.0.

What works well

Edit Example
Weather sunshine to snowfall, dry to rain
Time of day day to sunset, evening to night with lights
Background and setting office to a seaside terrace, a room to a studio
Clothing jacket colour, suit style
Picture style real video to a cartoon or watercolour
Details add string lights, snow on the trees, flowers

Harder: small text on signs, an exact number of objects, faces in close-up.

Prompts

The main rule: say what to keep unchanged.

Weather:

Change the weather to heavy snowfall, add snow on the ground, roofs and trees. Keep the people, their movements and the camera exactly the same.

Time of day:

Change the time of day to evening blue hour, turn on warm lights in the windows and street lamps. Keep the people, movements and camera unchanged.

Background:

Replace the office background with a sunny terrace by the sea. Keep the person, their clothing, movements and the camera exactly the same. Match the lighting to the new background.

Clothing:

Change the color of the man's jacket from black to dark green. Keep everything else unchanged.

Style:

Turn the whole video into a soft 3D animated style with warm colors. Keep the composition, movements and timing the same.

New Year atmosphere:

Add festive New Year decorations: string lights, a decorated fir tree in the corner, light snow outside the window. Keep the people and their movements unchanged.

Tips

  • One edit at a time. Weather, then time of day, then clothing.
  • Start with 5 seconds in 720p (105 tokens) to check how the model understood the edit.
  • Short clips are more stable: at 30 seconds there is a higher chance that something will «drift».
  • A good source: a steady camera, good light, no heavy blur.

Sound

The model does not create new sound; the sound of the original clip stays. If the edit changes the atmosphere (for example, you added snowfall), lay a matching sound over it during editing: how to add voice to a video.

What not to do

  • Do not replace the faces and identity of real people without consent: deepfakes and the law.
  • Do not use editing to make a product look better than it is in advertising.
  • Do not edit other people’s clips without the author’s permission.

In short

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Kling 4.0 has an «Edit» mode: you upload your own video from 3 to 30 seconds, describe the changes, and the model returns a clip of the same length. The sound of the original video is kept.
What can be changed in a video?
Background and setting, weather, time of day, clothing colour and style, interior details, the overall visual style, for example turning the clip into a cartoon. Changing faces and small text is the hardest.

Will the sound be kept after editing?
