**Lucy Edit Dev** is an open-weight **video editing** model that performs **instruction-guided edits** on videos using free-text prompts — it supports a variety of edits, such as **clothing & accessory changes**, **character changes**, **object insertions**, and **scene replacements** while preserving the motion and composition perfectly. - 🚀 **First open-source instruction-guided video editing model** - 🧩 **Built on Wan2.2 5B architecture** — inherits high-compression VAE + DiT stack, making adapting existing scripts and workflows easy. - 🏃‍♂️ **Motion Preservation** - preserves the motion and composition of videos perfectly, allowing precise edits. - 🎯 **Edit reliability** — edits are more robust when compared to common inference time methods. - 🧢 **Wardrobe & accessories** — change outfits, add glasses/earrings/hats/etc. - 🧌 **Character Changes** — replace characters with monsters, animals and known characters. (e.g., "Replace the person with a polar bear") - 🗺️ **Scenery swap** — move the scene (e.g., "transform the scene into a 2D cartoon,") - 📝 **Pure text instructions** — no finetuning, no masks required for common edits ℹ️ Model size: **~5B params**. Build on top of **Wan2.2 5B**. --- ## 🎬 Demos

### Sample 1

1.1) Turn the man into an alien

1.2) Turn the man into a bear

1.3) Make it snowy

### Sample 2

2.1) Turn the woman into Harley Quinn

2.2) Turn the woman into Lego

2.3) Turn the shirt into a sports jersey

Note: The prompts above are not enriched, the model will react better to enriched prompts - as described in the prompt guideline section below. --- ## 🔥 Latest News - **[2025-09-18]**: Initial **Lucy Edit Dev** weights & reference code released. - **[2025-09-16]**: Diffusers integration PR opened and merged. PR #12340. --- ## 🛠️ Quickstart ### Installation ```bash pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers ``` ### Inference Please refer to the "Prompting Guidelines & Supported Edits" section for the best experience. ```python from typing import List import torch from PIL import Image from diffusers import AutoencoderKLWan, LucyEditPipeline from diffusers.utils import export_to_video, load_video # Arguments url = "https://d2drjpuinn46lb.cloudfront.net/painter_original_edit.mp4" prompt = "Change the apron and blouse to a classic clown costume: satin polka-dot jumpsuit in bright primary colors, ruffled white collar, oversized pom-pom buttons, white gloves, oversized red shoes, red foam nose; soft window light from left, eye-level medium shot, natural folds and fabric highlights." negative_prompt = "" num_frames = 81 height = 480 width = 832 # Load video def convert_video(video: List[Image.Image]) -> List[Image.Image]: video = load_video(url)[:num_frames] video = [video[i].resize((width, height)) for i in range(num_frames)] return video video = load_video(url, convert_method=convert_video) # Load model model_id = "decart-ai/Lucy-Edit-Dev" vae = AutoencoderKLWan.from_pretrained(model_id, subfolder="vae", torch_dtype=torch.float32) pipe = LucyEditPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, vae=vae, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16) pipe.to("cuda") # Generate video output = pipe( prompt=prompt, video=video, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, height=480, width=832, num_frames=81, guidance_scale=5.0 ).frames[0] # Export video export_to_video(output, "output.mp4", fps=24) ``` --- ## Prompting Guidelines & Supported Edits Lucy Edit is built for **precise, realistic, and identity-preserving video edits.** Prompts with ~20–30 descriptive words work best. Using the right **trigger words** helps the model understand your intent. ### Trigger Words - **Change** → Clothing or color modifications - **Add** → Adding animals or objects - **Replace** → Object substitution or subject swap - **Transform to** → Global scene or style transformations ### Supported Edit Types #### 1. Clothing Changes ✅ **Best performance.** Lucy Edit excels at swapping outfits while preserving motion, pose, and identity. *Example*: *“Change the shirt to a kimono with wide sleeves and patterned fabric.”* #### 2. Human/Character Replacement ✅ **Strong results.** Works well for transforming people into new characters or creatures. Detailed prompts are key. *Example*: *“Replace the person with a tiger, striped orange fur, muscular build, and glowing green eyes.”* *Example*: *“Replace the person with an 2D anime character, big eyes, blue gown and battle scars.”* #### 3. Replace Objects ✅ **Reliable for structure-preserving swaps.** Ideal when replacing one object with another of similar scale. *Example*: *“Replace the apple with a glowing crystal ball emitting blue light.”* #### 4. Color Changes ⚠️ **Mixed reliability.** Sometimes subtle, sometimes exaggerated. Works best with precise descriptions. *Example*: *“Change the jacket color to deep red leather with a glossy finish.”* #### 5. Add Objects ⚠️ **Often attaches to the subject.** Works best for wearable or handheld props. *Example*: *“Add a golden crown on the person’s head, decorated with ornate jewels.”* #### 6. Global Transformations ⚠️ **Effective for backgrounds or scene-wide changes, might alter the subject** Alter environment or style, might, Often changes the identity of the subject. *Example*: *“Transform the sunny beach into a snowy tundra with falling snowflakes.”* ### Additional Notes - **Strengths:** Lucy Edit excels at **identity conservation, edit precision, realism, and prompt adherence.** - **Detail matters:** Longer prompts (20–30 words) describing style, appearance, and context improve results. - **Frame count:** 81-frame generations produce better temporal consistency than shorter clips. --- ## 📦 Integrations * ☁️ **Hosted API:** You can access the model on our API and get 5000 free credits here. * 🧨 **Diffusers:** *Coming soon* * 🧩 **ComfyUI:** *Coming soon* ## 🧭 Roadmap * ✅ Public Batch API. * ✅ Diffusers pipeline (`LucyEditPipeline`) * ✅ Remote ComfyUI custom nodes. * ✅ Technical Report * [ ] Local Inference ComfyUI Nodes. * [ ] LoRA and fine-tuning scripts. --- ## 🔒 License This model falls under the LUCY EDIT DEV MODEL Non-Commercial License v1.0 --- ## 📣 Citation ```bibtex @article{decart2025lucyedit, title = {Lucy Edit: Open-Weight Text-Guided Video Editing}, author = {DecartAI Team}, year = {2025} url = { https://d2drjpuinn46lb.cloudfront.net/Lucy_Edit__High_Fidelity_Text_Guided_Video_Editing.pdf} } ``` --- ## 🙏 Acknowledgements Lucy Edit Dev builds on the excellent foundations of **Wan2.2** (5B), and thanks the broader open-source community including **diffusers** and **Hugging Face**. --- ## 📬 Contact * GitHub Issues: DecartAI/lucy-edit. * Discord: Join our discord server, here.
