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.

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."

              {"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."},

            ]

Color Grading Presets

Common color grading descriptions to use in your prompts:

Style	Description
Teal & Orange	Cool shadows, warm highlights, popular blockbuster look
Film Noir	High contrast black and white, deep shadows, sharp highlights
Vintage Film	Lifted blacks, faded highlights, warm muted tones
Neon Cyberpunk	Saturated magentas and cyans, high contrast, dark blacks
Pastel Dream	Desaturated, lifted shadows, soft pink and blue tones
Documentary	Natural colors, slight desaturation, neutral contrast
Golden Hour	Warm amber tones, soft contrast, glowing highlights
Nordic Minimal	Cool desaturated blues and grays, low contrast, clean

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.
