How to restyle a video with AI
How do I turn a video into a different style, like anime or claymation, with AI?
Use a video-to-video restyle model. It keeps the motion and timing of your clip and changes the look, using a prompt or a style reference image. Decart Lucy Restyle 2 is the lowest-cost option, Luma Ray 3.2 video-to-video restyles with a prompt and reference images, and Kling O3 and O1 Video Reference apply a reference image to your footage.

How to do it in OTOY Studio
- Upload the clip.
- Make a style frame: take one frame of the clip and restyle it with an image model until you like the look.
- Add a restyle or video reference node, and connect the clip and the style frame.
- Run it. If the style drifts, shorten the clip or use a stronger reference.
