Edit & polish videos

Cosmiq Video isn’t only generation — it has a full set of editing operations you can chain on the canvas. Wire a Video node into a Cosmiq Video node and pick the operation.

What you can do

OperationUse it for
TrimCut to the part that matters
ReframeRe-crop to 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9, keep the subject in frame
CaptionsBurn in styled subtitles
Lip-syncMatch mouth movement to a voice track
MergeJoin clips into one
RestyleRe-render the look / vibe
Remove backgroundIsolate the subject
UpscaleRaise resolution for the keeper

Typical chains

  • Reel-ready — Trim → Reframe to 9:16 → Captions.
  • Talking avatar — generate/animate a face → Voiceover → Lip-sync.
  • Multi-shot teaser — generate 2–3 short clips → Merge → Captions.
  • Finish strong — Restyle for the vibe → Upscale to 1080p.

Tips

  • Trim first — every later step is faster and cheaper on a shorter clip.
  • Reframe keeps the subject centered; check faces stay in frame on vertical crops.
  • Upscale last, only the version you’re shipping.
