Add and Remove Objects in Video with Context Awareness
Video editing without the pain. Add, remove, or change objects in your footage and dollyboard intelligently recalculates lighting, shadows, and motion to maintain consistency. It's like having a VFX team built into your canvas.
Traditional video editing is destructive and complex. Remove an object and you're left with a hole you have to fill frame-by-frame. Add an object and it needs to cast realistic shadows and respond to light in the scene. dollyboard automates this with intelligent video inpainting.
Imagine you generated a scene but a distracting element is in the background. Mark it for removal and dollyboard intelligently fills that space with contextually appropriate content—backgrounds, depth, motion—that matches the surrounding footage. The same intelligence applies to object addition: describe what you want to add and the model places it, calculates shadows and lighting, and integrates it seamlessly.
This is transformative for iteration and post-production. Change a character's clothing mid-scene, swap backgrounds, add dramatic props, or remove unwanted elements—all without reshooting or expensive VFX work. The model understands 3D space, lighting, and motion, so changes look natural and convincing.
How it works
Select or describe region to edit
Specify what you want to remove or change in your video using semantic description or frame selection.
Provide editing instruction
Describe what should replace the selected region, or leave it blank for intelligent removal and inpainting.
Model recalculates context
${brand.shortName} regenerates the edited region while maintaining lighting, shadows, motion, and overall scene coherence.
Why it matters
Object removal and addition
Remove unwanted elements or add new objects to your video seamlessly. No frame-by-frame manual editing required.
Context-aware lighting and shadows
The model automatically adjusts lighting and shadows when you edit, ensuring new objects look like they belong and removed areas blend naturally.
Motion-aware edits
Changes to video content maintain proper motion and physics. Added objects move realistically, and removed objects leave natural motion trails.
