## What it is

Today every prompt you send in Motion makes a new video. To change a video, you send a new prompt that describes the version you want. The new video lands next to the first one, so you keep both.

## Who can use it

Everyone. Free and Pro work the same way.

## Cost

Uses credits. A changed version is a new video, so it is charged like any other. Motion is charged on what the video uses, and the quality menu shows an estimate.

## Where to find it

Open the **Studio** project with your motion video. The prompt box is at the bottom of the chat panel, and the **Copy** button is on your earlier message.

## Buttons and controls

<!-- shot: motion/change-a-video -->

| # | Name in the app | What it does | Plan |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Copy | Shows when you move over your earlier message. Copies its text. It reads **Copied** for a moment after. | Both |
| 2 | Scenes, on-screen text, transitions, length and aspect (e.g. 15 s, 9:16, 4 text scenes plus logo end card) | The prompt box. Paste and change your earlier prompt here. | Both |
| 3 | Generate motion video | Starts the changed version as a new video. | Both |

## How to get a changed version

1. Move over your earlier message in the chat. It starts with "Motion:".
2. Click **Copy**.
3. Click in the prompt box and paste.
4. Delete the "Motion: " at the start. Change what you want, such as the words, the colours or the length.
5. Click **Generate motion video**.
6. A new card appears on the canvas. The first video stays where it was.

## Options explained

**Be specific.** Say exactly what is different. For example: "Same 15 s promo, but the headline reads Try it free, and the end card is dark blue."

**Keep what you liked.** Paste your whole earlier prompt and change only the part you want different.

**Shape and length.** Pick a different **Aspect ratio** or **Length** to get the same idea in another size.

**Quality level.** Pick **Max** in **Motion model** when you want a more careful version of the same idea.

## Limits

- Each prompt makes one new video. There is no in-place edit of a finished video.
- Versions of a motion video are not stacked in a row. Each one is its own card.

## When something goes wrong

| Message in the app | What it means | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Couldn't make that motion video. | The new version failed. | Check your balance, then send again. |
| Answered. | Your message was not read as a video brief, so no video was made. | Describe the video in full, with scenes and words. |

## Questions

### Can I edit a finished video by chatting with it?

Not in the Motion box today. Each prompt starts a new video. Send a new prompt that describes the change.

### Will my first video be lost?

No. It stays on the canvas. Delete it yourself if you do not need it.

### Why does Edit & resend not fill the Motion box?

Do not use it for motion prompts. Use **Copy**, then paste into the prompt box.

### Can I swap just one scene?

Not at the moment. Write a new prompt that describes all the scenes.

### How do I keep track of versions?

Each video is its own card on the canvas. See [Canvas](/docs/studio/canvas) for moving and naming things, and [Versions](/docs/studio/versions) for how image versions work.
