FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AI VFX Editor?
Our AI VFX Editor is a powerful text-to-video tool that allows you to add cinematic visual effects to any existing footage using just a text prompt. Instead of using complicated editing software, you simply upload a video, describe the effect you want, and the AI video effects generator adds it seamlessly to your footage.
How does the AI video effects generator know where to place the VFX?
You don't need manual keyframing! The AI VFX Editor automatically watches your uploaded video, understands the context and physical space of the scene, and applies the visual effects exactly where they belong. It intelligently picks the perfect moments to execute your prompt-based VFX.
What kind of visual effects can I create with a text prompt?
With our prompt-based VFX tool, the creative possibilities are endless. You can add weather effects like rain or falling snow, explosive action like a meteor strike or fire, magical elements, neon glows, or even specific style changes to a specific moment in your video. Just describe ONE effect and where it should happen.
Will the AI VFX Editor alter my original audio or the rest of the video?
No, your original footage stays completely untouched outside of the applied effect. The AI VFX Editor preserves your original people, voices, audio tracks, and framing. The visual effects are only added exactly where they belong, leaving the rest of your video in its original state.
How much does it cost to use the AI VFX Editor?
Generating visual effects with our AI video effects generator costs 4 credits per second of edited video. Because the AI only applies the effect to the specific moments you requested based on your prompt, you only use credits for the duration of the actual VFX applied.
Do I need any prior video editing experience to add visual effects?
Not at all! Our AI VFX Editor is designed to be the simplest text-to-VFX generator available. If you can type a text prompt like "add a neon glow" or "explosion in the background", you can create professional-grade visual effects without any complex software or CGI knowledge.
Can I use this tool to cut, trim, or add captions to my video?
The AI VFX Editor is specifically built for adding prompt-based visual effects (like fire, weather, or magic) to existing footage. If you need to cut clips, auto-crop, or add captions, we recommend using our other Revid AI tools like the YouTube Clip Maker or AI Movie Maker.
What video formats does the AI VFX Editor support?
You can upload your footage in standard formats including MP4, MOV, QuickTime, and WEBM. Just drop your file into the AI video effects generator, type your prompt, and watch your visual effects come to life.
Is the AI VFX Editor good for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels?
Absolutely. Adding eye-catching visual effects is a proven way to stop the scroll and boost engagement on short-form social videos. The AI VFX Editor is perfectly optimized for creating viral, visually stunning content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
How long does it take for the AI to add the visual effects?
The AI VFX Editor processes your footage and generates the requested visual effects in just a few minutes. Processing time may vary slightly depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the text prompt you provided for the VFX.
