In level two of Add AI VFX to Real Footage, Adil changes one element inside his own shot: he drops the clip into the chat with the one sentence "set my whole head of curls on fire", and Seedance 2.0 adds the flames and their glow while his face, expression, the car and the golden-hour light stay as shot.

  • refine · How do you add AI VFX to your own footage? — To change one element of real footage Adil follows the same process as for a world swap: he drops the clip into the chat and writes the change in one sentence, "set my whole head of curls on fire", and gets the prompt back. (00:00:00)
