Restyle Any Video With AI

Restyling keeps everything that makes a clip work (the shots, the camera moves, the timing, what everyone does, the sound) and changes only how it looks. Claymation, anime, film noir, an 80s camcorder tape. Swapping who is in a clip works the same way, which is how the Hotel Lobby trend ended up in everyone's feed.

Hermoso runs your marketing on autopilot, and restyling is one of the things it does. Pick a look in the web studio, or ask for it from ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor through the Hermoso MCP, then post or schedule the result from the same place.

Thirteen looks, one tap

Here is one street scene in every preset. Open any video you have made or uploaded, choose Restyle, and tap a look. If none of them is the one you want, describe your own: "a hand-painted Japanese woodblock print" works just as well.

Every preset keeps every shot, the camera movement, the timing, the people and what they do. Only the visual style changes, across every frame, and the original sound stays on the clip.

Swap who is in it

The Hotel Lobby trend keeps one famous take exactly as it is (the room, the moves, the verses) and puts someone new at the mic. Hermoso does the same with any public clip. Paste the post link from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X or YouTube, then say who goes in it:

Yourself or your team. Upload a photo, or pick a creator you have already saved, and they take over the performance.
A duo or a group. Up to four people, each one placed where the original performer stood, keeping that performer's moves and timing on the original sound. Say "left" and "right", or "whoever raps first".
Your product or your mascot. The thing that rolls, spins or gets passed around in the original becomes yours.
A new room or new outfits. Move the scene to a beach, or change what everyone is wearing, and leave the people as they are.

Swaps run up to 60 seconds of the original, and you see the price before anything renders. Putting a real person's face in a video needs a paid plan and that person's okay. Your own face counts.

How to restyle a video in Hermoso

In the web studio. Open a video in your Library, choose Restyle from its menu and tap a look. Or just tell the Studio chat "make this claymation" or "put me and Sam in the Hotel Lobby clip" and paste the link.
From your AI assistant. Connect the Hermoso MCP to ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor and ask in plain words. The tools are restyle_video for a new look, recast_hook for swapping who is in a viral clip, and recast_motion for having a new person perform the moves from any reference video.
Post it. Send the result straight to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and your other connected channels, or schedule it for later.

Which models do the work

Kling O3 Edit runs the Restyle presets. We put the same clip through three video editors and this was the one that kept every shot, the scene and the story while still carrying the new look.
Seedance 2.5 Edit changes one region (a face, an object, a setting) and leaves the rest untouched, keeps synced audio, and takes clips up to 30 seconds.
FLUX 3 Edit edits from a short instruction and keeps the motion, timing, framing and sound, on clips under 15 seconds.
Gemini Omni is fast, makes sound, and can keep editing a clip it made over several rounds.

You never have to pick. Hermoso uses the right one for the job.

Frequently asked questions

What does restyling keep from my video?

Every shot, the camera movement, the timing, the people and what they do, and the original sound. Only the look changes, across every frame.

How long can the video be?

A restyle takes clips of 3 to 15 seconds, at least 720 pixels wide. Swapping who is in a viral clip works on up to 60 seconds of the original.

Can I put myself in the Hotel Lobby trend?

Yes. Paste the link to the clip, then upload your photo or pick a saved creator, and for a duo name who stands where. A real person’s face needs a paid plan and their okay, and your own face counts.

What if none of the presets is the look I want?

Describe it in your own words, like “a hand-painted Japanese woodblock print” or “a 1990s home video on a rainy day”, and it runs the same way a preset does.

Can I restyle a video from ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Connect the Hermoso MCP and ask. The restyle_video tool takes a video and a look, recast_hook swaps who is in a viral clip, and the finished video can be posted or scheduled by the same assistant.

How much does a restyle cost?

A restyle is priced like any other video edit. The free plan comes with 250+ earnable free credits, and the pricing page has the details.

Want the format of a video rather than its look? Clone a video ad from its link and Hermoso remakes it for your brand. The editor behind the presets has its own page: Kling O3 Edit.
