AI VFX
Add cinematic AI VFX to footage you already shot. Swap backgrounds, relight entire scenes, or transform a single region, all from one upload and ready in minutes.
Three VFX Modes, One Upload
AI VFX
Relight The Scene
Relight mode rebuilds the lighting, color, and mood across the full frame. It relights the scene instead of adding a filter, so shadows and highlights look real. Your performance and motion stay exactly as shot.

Mask Objects, Transform The Rest
Inpaint mode lets you protect part of the frame and change the rest. Paint a mask over what should stay, like a person or a prop. That region holds across every frame while the AI transforms everything else as per your prompt.

Direct Every Result
All three modes take the same inputs: a preset, your own reference image, or an AI-generated scene. Add a text prompt to fine-tune the look. Your creative direction works the same way every time. Everything from AI cinematic effects and AI color grading to full AI video transformation is handled smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI VFX?+
AI VFX is the use of artificial intelligence to add video effects to footage you have already shot, such as replacing backgrounds, relighting scenes, and transforming specific regions. It does this without a green screen or a traditional compositing pipeline. On Cuta, the VFX AI generator is one suite with three modes (Background, Relight, and Inpaint), all powered by the SwitchX model. The AI VFX software can handle everything including AI visual effects, AI video effects, AI video color grading, and AI cinematic effects.
What AI video effects can I create with Cuta?+
Three core video FX workflows. Background mode swaps the whole environment behind your subject. Relight mode restyles the lighting, color, and mood of the full frame. Inpaint mode protects a masked region and transforms everything else.
Do I need professional editing or VFX experience?+
No. Background and Relight are built for one-click use: pick a preset or reference and generate. Inpaint is a little more advanced and rewards careful masking, but no compositing software or post-production training is needed. You can get all the best AI VFX effects and edits without any professional training.
How long does an AI VFX render take?+
Most jobs finish within minutes, depending on clip length and resolution. Generation runs in the background, so you can leave the tab and come back when your video effects are ready.
What resolutions and file formats are supported?+
AI VFX accepts MP4 and MOV input in H.264 or HEVC, and exports at 720p or 1080p. 2K and 4K output are not currently supported.
In inpaint mode, what does the mask do?+
The mask protects. You paint over the region you want to keep, and that area stays exactly as shot while the rest of the frame transforms. You only mask the first frame, and the AI tracks the protected region across every frame after it.
How is this different from traditional VFX software?+
Traditional visual effects need a green screen or rotoscoping, a compositor, a render farm, and software like Nuke or After Effects. AI VFX gives you the same control, separating what you shot from what the viewer sees, in minutes from one web upload, with nothing to install.
