What is Video to Video?

How it works

Video-to-video allows you to use existing footage as a motion reference for AI generation. You provide a source video, and the AI reinterprets it with new visual content while preserving the original camera movement, timing, and motion dynamics. This is powerful for style transfer, where you want to transform real-world footage into a different visual aesthetic, or for motion reference, where you film a simple scene and have the AI replace subjects and environments. Not all tools support video-to-video. Among the major generators, Runway and Pika offer this capability, while others focus exclusively on text-to-video and image-to-video workflows.
