Apply a Body Effect

Body Effects isolate people in a video and apply animated treatments to the person, their duplicates, or the surrounding background.

  1. Select a video clip that clearly shows a person.
  2. Open [FX], then select [Body Effects].
  3. Browse the [Stroke], [Clone], or [Background] group.
  4. Tap a preset to preview it, then confirm to apply it.
  5. Adjust the effect's duration and position on the timeline as needed.

The first time you use an effect, VN may need to download its resource. Keep the app connected to the internet until the download finishes. Subsequent usage of the same body effect is processed entirely locally and are available for offline usage. More about offline functions can be found in Use VN Without an Internet Connection.
