Video Editing

Edit and transform existing videos with AI-powered tools using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Apply a warm cinematic color grade to this video. Boost the orange tones in highlights and teal in the shadows, add slight film grain."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/raw-footage.mp4"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Apply a warm cinematic color grade to this video. Boost the orange tones in highlights and teal in the shadows, add slight film grain."}],
    # Images are included in the message content array above
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Apply the color grading and visual style from this reference image to my video clip"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/my-video.mp4"}},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/style-reference.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Editing Capabilities

Prompt Tips

Describe the Target Look

Be specific about the visual outcome you want:

"Make this look like it was shot on 35mm Kodak Portra 400 film.
Desaturate slightly, add warm highlights, lift the blacks,
and include subtle film grain."

Specify Temporal Changes

When edits should apply to specific moments:

"Slow motion from 0:02 to 0:04 when the ball is in the air,
then return to normal speed."

Reference-Based Editing

Use a second image or frame as a style reference:

"Match the color grading of the reference image.
Apply the same contrast, saturation, and color temperature."

Examples

Cinematic Color Grade

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Apply a cinematic color grade inspired by Blade Runner 2049. Push shadows toward deep blue, highlights toward warm amber. High contrast, slightly desaturated midtones, add atmospheric haze effect."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/city-footage.mp4"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Convert this video to smooth slow motion at 0.25x speed. Use frame interpolation to keep the motion fluid and artifact-free. Maintain the original resolution."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/action-clip.mp4"}}
            ]

Color Grading Presets

Common color grading descriptions to use in your prompts:

Common Pitfalls

• Vague instructions like "make it look cool" give inconsistent results. Describe the specific look.
• Ignoring temporal context when the edit should apply to specific moments in the clip.
• Expecting frame-accurate cuts from natural language. For precise trimming, include timestamps.
• Over-processing by requesting too many effects at once. Apply edits in stages for best results.
• Forgetting source quality matters. Low-resolution input limits what enhancements can achieve.
