Make an edit

What do you want to change?

• Swap a person

  Recast one person in a real shot. What they do, what they say and where they are stay as in the episode; the new person says the same lines.

  Also: Change what someone wears

• Add new footage

  Make a shot or a scene that wasn’t in the episode, from the episode’s own frames and pictures, so it slots in between two real moments.

  Also: A longer scene, several clips joined · A transition at one or both ends · Extra people or places

• Rebuild a shot with actors

  Change the creature, the effect or the place in a shot, while the actors in it stay themselves: their faces, their movements and their voices.

  Also: Move the scene to a new place

Not sure? The three questions below pick one. A recast and a new effect in one shot is two passes: rebuild the shot first, then swap the person.

Which kind of edit is it?

Three questions decide it. The answers change the workflow, what the reference pictures must show, and how the sound is handled.

Before you start

Every recipe runs in ComfyUI with the MiniMax H3 video models. Set up ComfyUI once: install it, download the models and pick the workflow size your GPU fits. The default downloads run on a 16 GB GPU with 32 GB of system RAM and a pagefile of about 32 GB or more. Higher-quality versions need a 48 GB GPU or a rented cloud GPU. Use ComfyUI v0.39.0, the release our latest test ran (version).

Techniques every guide shares:

• Find every shot of a character
• Capture and mark your shot
• Reference pictures and lines
• Keep actors themselves
• Long shots
• Finish and conform
• Check your clip

Put it in the episode

• Where you work: install the extension’s Creator edition (the Chrome Web Store edition has no Creator tools), switch it to Creator mode (toolbar menu → Settings → Creator → Creator mode), choose Creator tools in the toolbar menu, and mark where each scene starts and resumes under Mark a scene. Then choose Open in website builder to import the scenes and attach your clips. Or prepare everything yourself and use manual submission.
• What each clip is: a character swap replaces its span (the clip plays instead of those seconds, with its own sound); an added scene inserts (the clip plays, then the episode carries on from the same frame).
• Clip format: MP4 (H.264 + AAC), 5 to 120 seconds each, up to 250 MB. (Shorter clips, from 1.5 s, play only as local packs made outside the builder.) The workflows already save MP4.
• Submitting: a technical check, then one approval, then it’s in the catalog. To fix timing later, use Edit next version.
• Made it outside the builder? Zip edit.json and your clips as an edit pack, then choose My edits → Import an edit pack: it fills everything in for one-click submission.
