Benefits of AI Video Inpainting

Frame-Level Control

Paint a mask to lock what stays, write a prompt, and the AI transforms everything outside the mask across every frame.

Brilliant Object Permanence

Everything you mask stays exactly as you shot it, frame for frame.

No Compositor, No Pipeline

Get compositor-grade transforms from a browser, in minutes, without using Nuke or After Effects.

Frame-Level Control. What You Mask Stays Untouched.

Paint a mask over what should stay, write a prompt, and everything outside the mask transforms across every frame.

Paint what stays. Transform the rest.

VFX mode gives you frame-level control. Brush a mask on the first frame over what should stay, such as a face, a prop, or a performer. The AI tracks that region across every frame and transforms everything else, preserving the protected area's color, lighting, and motion.

Keep the performance. Change the world.

Mask the actor and let the environment transform around them. Protect a held prop while the background becomes something new. Lock a costume element and restyle the rest of the shot. Add a reference image for stronger direction.

Transform everything but the region you protect.

AI Video Inpainting handles changes too broad for a single object swap. Restyle the full scene around a protected subject, drop a performer into a new environment, or shift the entire backdrop while the masked region stays exactly as shot.

Compositor precision. No compositor.

Professional VFX has always required precision: a clean mask, clear intent, and control over where change applies. AI Video Inpainting delivers that without Nuke, After Effects, or rotoscoping. The AI tracks your first-frame mask automatically across every frame.

How to Use AI Video Inpainting

Three steps from upload to a finished masked transform.

Upload Your Video
Step 01

Upload Your Video

Upload any MP4 or MOV clip. AI Video Inpainting works on any footage where you want to transform the shot while protecting a specific region.

Paint the Mask, Write the Prompt
Step 02

Paint the Mask, Write the Prompt

Use the brush to paint a mask on the first frame, covering exactly the region you want to keep. Write a prompt describing what should appear in the rest of the frame, and optionally upload a reference image.

Generate and Compare
Step 03

Generate and Compare

The AI system generates the change across every frame, tracking your masked region automatically. Preview the result, refine the mask or prompt if needed, and download the final clip as MP4.

Built for Precision Video Work

From indie filmmakers to brand teams, here is how creators are using AI Video Inpainting.

For indie filmmakers and directors

The mode you reach for when the performance is right but the world around it isn't. Protect the actor and transform the environment. Lock the hero prop and restyle the scene. Reshoots and compositor passes become a brush and a prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI Video Inpainting lets you transform your video while protecting a specific region exactly as you shot it. You paint a mask over the area you want to keep, write a prompt describing what should appear elsewhere, and the AI generates the change across every frame. On OpenArt, AI Video Inpainting is part of OpenArt VFX suite and runs on Beeble's SwitchX model.
Yes. You only need to paint the mask on the first frame. The AI tracks the protected region across every subsequent frame automatically, so it stays locked as the subject or camera moves. No keyframing and no manual rotoscoping required.
Yes. In addition to the text prompt, you can upload a reference image to guide the look of what appears outside the masked region. The reference is especially useful when you want a specific visual style, color, or environment rather than relying on the prompt alone.
Yes, when the mask is painted carefully on the first frame. SwitchX, the AI model powering AI video inpainting, produces clean edges around the protected region and composites the surrounding transformation cleanly against it. The cleanest results come from clear, deliberate masking on frame one.
Traditional VFX requires rotoscoping the protected area frame by frame, compositing new content with attention to lighting and color, and rendering through dedicated software. AI Video Inpainting handles masking, tracking, and generation in a single pass.
As precise as you can paint it. The brush tool gives you fine-grained control over the protected region on the first frame, including hard edges, soft edges, and small detail areas. SwitchX uses your first-frame mask as the boundary, so the more precise the mask, the more cleanly the protected region holds.
Protecting a performer while restyling the scene, locking a hero prop while changing the environment, keeping a costume element intact while transforming the rest of the frame, or holding a foreground subject while replacing the background entirely.
Most jobs complete in a few minutes. Generation runs asynchronously with live progress, so you can leave the tab and come back when the result is ready.
Yes. Output can be used in commercial projects, including paid social, brand campaigns, product marketing, monetized video, and client work. Check OpenArt's terms of service for the latest commercial usage details for your plan.
