Edit videos

Sometimes the take is good - the delivery landed, the energy was right. But it needs a tweak. Edit your video without going back on camera.

1. Polish your UGC video

You filmed something good. But maybe the background is your kitchen, the lighting is flat, or the outfit doesn't match the brand you’re talking about.

UGC Video Makeover lets you change the visual environment around you (background, outfit, lighting, setting) while keeping your face, motion, voice, and lip sync perfectly intact.

Tap New Session in the left menu and ask SecretSauce to polish your video. Or tag the skill @VideoMakeover to get started:

• Upload your video. Your UGC video must be less than 30 seconds and under 50MB.
• Describe what you want to change. Be as specific or as open as you like. You can describe a full scene ("put me in a luxury hotel lobby with warm lighting") or a single change ("swap my outfit for a red blazer"). If you're not sure, tell SecretSauce the brand aesthetic you're going for and it will make suggestions.

You can change:

• Your environment: Office to rooftop, bedroom to studio, anywhere you want
• Your outfit: Put on a suit, a hat, change your hairstyle, whatever
• Your lighting: Golden hour, neon, cinematic, candlelight, you choose
• The overall aesthetic: Cinematic, retro, film grain, editorial

Examples

• "Put me in a sleek café with warm afternoon light"
• "Change my outfit to a white linen shirt and move me to a rooftop at sunset"
• "Make this look more cinematic. Add some film grain and moody lighting"
• "Replace my home office background with a minimalist studio"

2. Swap the background

Background Swap strips the background from your video and places the subject (you, your talent, or your product) onto a new one.

Tap New Session in the left menu then tag the skill @BackgroundSwap to get started. Follow the agent's instructions:

• Upload your video or share a public URL. SecretSauce will extract the subject and remove the background automatically.
• Describe your new background. Tell SecretSauce what you want behind your subject: a specific scene, branded image, color, or style. You can also upload an image to use as the new background.

Examples

• "Remove the background and place me in front of a New York City skyline at night"
• "Swap the background to a clean white studio"
• "Put my product on a marble surface with a warm, soft-focus background"
• "Replace the background with our brand colors"
