# Video Nodes

## Summary

The Video category in ImagineArt Workflows offers a comprehensive set of nodes for generating, enhancing, synchronizing, and editing video content. From creating videos out of text prompts or still images, to upscaling resolution, syncing lip movements, transferring motion, and applying final edits, these nodes cover the full video production pipeline.

### How to Add Video Nodes

1. Click the Add (+) button on the left toolbar in the workflow canvas.
2. Select Video under node categories.
3. Choose from the available nodes listed below.

You can also double-click anywhere on the canvas and search for any video node by name.

### Generation Nodes

These nodes create new video content from prompts, images, or existing clips.

{% step %}

### [Generate Video](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/generate-video)

The primary node for creating videos. Supports both text-to-video (describe a scene and the AI generates it) and image-to-video (provide a still image and describe the desired motion). 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Edit Video](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/edit-video)

Modify and transform existing videos by providing a reference video and describe the changes you want, style transfers, environment swaps, visual effects, etc.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Extend Video](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/extend-video)

Lengthen an existing video clip by generating additional footage that continues seamlessly from where the original ends. 
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Enhancement Nodes

These nodes improve video quality or add synchronized elements.

{% step %}

### [Upscale Video](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/lipsync)

Increase the resolution and clarity of an existing video using AI. Transform low-resolution footage into sharp, detailed output suitable for large displays, cinematic projects, or professional delivery while preserving smoothness and natural motion.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Lipsync](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/upscale-video)

Automatically synchronize lip movements in a video to match an audio track. The AI analyzes speech patterns and generates realistic mouth movements, making characters appear as though they are naturally speaking the provided audio.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Motion Transfer](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/motion-transfer)

Capture motion from a source video and apply it to a different character or subject. Upload a reference video of someone dancing, walking, or performing any action, and the node transfers that exact movement onto your target character or image.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Utility Nodes

These nodes handle trimming, resizing, effects, and frame extraction.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### [**Extract Video Frame**](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/extract-video-frame)

Capture a single still frame for thumbnails, reference images, or further processing.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [**Video Trimmer**](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/video-trimmer)

Cut unnecessary sections to shorten a clip.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Combine Video and Audio](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/combine-videos-and-audios#combine-audio-and-video)

Merge an audio track with a video clip into a single output
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### [Combine Videos](https://help.imagine.art/workflows/understanding-nodes/video-nodes/combine-videos-and-audios#combine-videos)

Stitch multiple video clips into a single continuous sequence
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Combining Nodes

Video nodes are designed to chain together for complete production workflows. Here are some common combinations:

* Generate Video → Upscale Video
  * Create a video from a prompt, then enhance its resolution for professional delivery.
* Generate Video → Extend
  * Produce a short clip, then extend it to the desired length for a full scene.
* Image → Generate Video → Lipsync
  * Start with a portrait, animate it into a video, then sync lip movements to a voiceover track.
* Generate Video → Motion Transfer
  * Generate a base character video, then apply motion from a reference performance.
* Generate Video → Video Utilities (Trim + Filters)
  * Create raw footage, then trim to length and apply color grading for a polished final cut.
* Extract Video Frame → Generate Image → Generate Video
  * Pull a key frame from an existing video, edit or enhance the still, then regenerate a new video from the updated frame.
