AI Video Relighting
Your video is already good. The lighting does not have to stay that way.
Change the lighting of your existing video without reshooting it. Upload your video, choose the lighting you want, and let AI rebuild the light across the scene while keeping the original subject, movement, and camera flow.
Keep the footage. Change the light.

The problem
Your Footage Is Fine. The Lighting Is the Problem.
- Maybe the shot is good, but the room feels too flat.
- Maybe your product looks dull under ordinary indoor lighting.
- Maybe two clips were recorded under completely different lighting conditions.
- Or maybe you simply want a different mood without filming everything again.
AI Video Relighting gives you another option: keep the footage you already have and change how it is lit.
Before and after
Same Video. Different Light.
You do not always need to regenerate a scene to change how it feels. AI video relighting changes the illumination, color mood, contrast, and light direction while working from your original footage.
Turn flat indoor footage into a softer studio look, create stronger product lighting, add a warmer evening feel, or experiment with colored cinematic light.
Before
- Flat or mismatched lighting
- Weak subject separation
- Lighting that does not fit the mood
- Footage you do not want to reshoot
After
- A new lighting direction
- A different visual mood
- More intentional subject lighting
- The same source video as your foundation

Why relight
Change the Mood Without Reshooting
Keep Your Original Motion
Work from the video you already recorded instead of trying to reproduce the same movement again.
Try Different Lighting Styles
Test warm, cool, soft, dramatic, colorful, or commercial lighting from the same source clip.
Improve Existing Footage
Give ordinary footage a more intentional visual direction without rebuilding the entire scene.
Create More Versions
Turn one usable video into multiple lighting variations for ads, social media, product pages, or creative testing.
How it works
Relight a Video in Three Steps
- 1
Upload Your Video
Start with the clip you want to improve.
- 2
Choose the New Lighting
Select a preset or create your own lighting direction, color, intensity, and softness.
- 3
Generate Your Relit Video
AI applies the new lighting treatment across the footage while working from the original subject, movement, camera, and scene.
Use cases
Made for Videos You Already Want to Keep
Product Videos
Make Product Lighting Feel More Intentional
Your product video may already have the right angle and movement but still look flat. Add stronger key lighting, softer shadows, colored accents, or a cleaner commercial lighting style without shooting the product again.
Creator Videos
Give Creator Footage a More Polished Look
Change plain indoor lighting into a warmer, softer, or more cinematic setup for short-form content, talking-head clips, and social posts.
Ad Creative
Test Different Looks From the Same Video
Create multiple lighting treatments from one clip to explore different creative directions without rebuilding the entire ad.
Cinematic Mood
Change How the Scene Feels
Push neutral footage toward a warmer, cooler, darker, softer, or more dramatic visual mood.
Matching Multiple Clips
Bring Different Shots Closer Together
If several clips feel visually disconnected because they were captured under different lighting, relighting can help move them toward a more consistent visual direction.
Relight vs. regenerate
Why Relight Instead of Regenerate?
Regenerating a video can also regenerate things you already like: the face, product shape, movement, timing, camera, or composition.
Relighting starts from a different assumption: keep the video, change the light.
That makes it especially useful when the footage itself is already worth keeping.

What stays the same
Designed to Change Lighting, Not Replace Your Video
AI relighting works from your uploaded footage rather than generating an unrelated clip from scratch.
The goal is to preserve the recognizable subject, original motion, camera behavior, and audio while changing the illumination across the scene.
As with any generative video edit, very complex scenes, fast movement, reflective materials, heavy occlusion, or extreme lighting changes can produce larger visual differences.
AI Video Relighting FAQ
What is AI video relighting?
AI video relighting changes the way light appears across an existing video. Instead of creating an entirely new clip, it works from your original footage and applies a new lighting treatment to the subject and scene.
Do I need to film my video again?
No. The purpose of video relighting is to work with footage you already have. Upload the clip, choose a new lighting style, and generate a relit version.
What can I change with AI video relighting?
You can experiment with lighting direction, color, intensity, softness, ambient fill, and overall visual mood. For example, you can move from flat indoor lighting toward warmer studio light, cooler cinematic light, or colored neon lighting.
Will AI change the people or products in my video?
The relighting process is designed to preserve the source subject, motion, and camera while changing the lighting. However, this is still a generative video edit, so complex scenes or extreme changes can sometimes introduce visual differences.
Does video relighting keep the original motion?
It is designed to work from the movement in your source video rather than replacing the clip with unrelated motion. Results can vary depending on scene complexity and the requested lighting change.
Will the audio stay in my video?
The relighting process is designed to preserve the source audio while processing the video.
Can I use AI video relighting for product videos?
Yes. Product videos are a strong use case because you can keep the original product rotation, camera position, or demonstration while testing a different lighting setup.
Can I make a video look more cinematic?
You can use lighting changes to create a warmer, cooler, darker, softer, or more dramatic look. Relighting can influence the mood of the footage, although it does not replace full cinematography, compositing, or professional color grading in every situation.
Can I create neon lighting?
Yes. You can try colored lighting such as blue, purple, warm orange, or other stylized combinations using presets or custom lighting controls.
Can I change the direction of the light?
Yes. Custom lighting controls can be used to change the apparent direction and elevation of the light source.
What is a lighting reference?
A lighting reference tells the AI what kind of illumination you want to transfer to the video. You do not need to create one manually when using a preset. The tool can handle that part for you.
Do I need to know how to use a lighting sphere?
No. Choose one of the built-in lighting presets and the tool handles the lighting reference automatically. Advanced users can use Custom Lighting for more control.
Can I compare the original and relit video?
Yes. The editor is designed around a Before and Result workflow so you can compare the original footage with the new lighting before downloading the result.
What kind of videos work best?
Videos with a clearly visible subject and reasonably consistent scene structure tend to be easier to relight. Extremely fast movement, complex reflections, heavy occlusion, or very extreme lighting changes may be more challenging.
Your Video Does Not Need a Reshoot. It May Just Need Better Light.
