Creative control traditionally ends once a scene is rendered. A line doesn't land right? Reshoot. The pacing feels off? Start over. The emotion isn't quite there? You're stuck.

Retake changes that. It's the first AI feature built for directors who need to reshape what happens within a shot—without breaking continuity or regenerating everything from scratch. Rephrase dialogue, redirect emotion, or reimagine a scene's ending while keeping the performance, setting, and surrounding footage intact.

Available now to all LTX users—free and paid—Retake brings true directorial control to AI filmmaking.

What's New in Retake

Directorial Control Within a Shot

Retake lets you select any segment within a video—from 2 to 16 seconds—and regenerate just that moment while keeping everything else consistent. The model attends strongly to the surrounding frames, ensuring the new content blends naturally with the original motion, lighting, and tone.

This isn't trim-and-extend. It's not a full regeneration. It's targeted redirection—changing what happens in a specific moment without losing the context of the full shot.

Rephrase Dialogue Without Rerecording

Keep the same voice, character, and setting—but change what's being said. Perfect for adjusting scripts, testing alternate CTAs, or refining messaging after a shot is already complete.

Before: "Try our new collection today." After (via Retake): "Discover styles you'll love—shop the new collection."

Same performance. Different words. No reshoot required.

Reimagine Beginnings or Endings

Redirect how a scene starts or finishes. Adjust the emotional beat at the end of a conversation. Change a character's entrance. Rework the final moment to land differently—all while preserving the middle of the shot.

Retake gives you the flexibility to experiment with alternate outcomes without committing to a full regeneration.

Explore Alternate Creative Directions

Test different emotions, pacing, or framing within the same shot. What if the character smiled instead of looking away? What if the camera pushed in rather than pulled back? What if the scene ended on a pause instead of dialogue?

Retake lets you explore these creative choices instantly, turning a single shot into multiple variations for review, client approval, or narrative experimentation.

Why Retake Matters

Reshoots are expensive. They require coordination, time, and budget—often for changes that affect only a few seconds of footage. Post-production fixes are limited. Once a scene is shot, your options narrow.

Retake removes that limitation. It gives directors the ability to iterate on emotion, pacing, and intent after the fact—preserving the tone and performance while adjusting what actually happens.

What if you could change a scene's ending without breaking continuity? What if a single line could be rewritten without rerecording the entire take? What if creative experimentation didn't require starting from scratch?

That's what Retake enables. Instant iteration with full context preservation.

For Professionals

For Brands and Agencies

Retake is ideal for testing messaging variations, refining CTAs, or adjusting tone for client feedback—without reshooting. Rephrase what's being said while keeping the performance, setting, and visual identity intact.

Use cases:

• Test multiple product messaging angles from a single shoot
• Adjust brand voice or tone after reviewing with stakeholders
• Create A/B test variations without additional production costs

Retake the moment, keep the rest. Your creative stays on-brand while adapting to feedback.

For Filmmakers and Post-Production

Retake shines in post-production, where the ability to redirect a scene after it's been shot opens up creative possibilities that were previously impossible.

Use cases:

• Refine emotional beats in existing footage
• Adjust pacing or timing within a scene
• Experiment with alternate endings or character reactions
• Fix dialogue issues without recalling talent

This is Retake's strongest use case: reshaping footage that's already been filmed. Whether you're in the edit bay refining a cut or testing alternate story directions, Retake gives you control over the creative intent of any moment.

How Retake Works

Retake regenerates a selected time range within a video—from roughly time 0.3 to time 0.7—while keeping the rest of the shot consistent. The replaced segment is fully regenerated, but the model strongly attends to the surrounding frames, ensuring the new content blends naturally with the original motion, lighting, and look.

Technical Details:

• Cost: $0.10 per second (88 credits/sec for all generated video)
• Duration: 2–16 seconds per edit
• Output: 1080p (4K uploads are automatically downscaled)
• File size: Under 100 MB
• Processing: Up to 20 seconds of video (≈505 frames @ 25 fps)
• Availability: Playground, Mobile, Gen Space, and API

The system processes edits in-browser before sending to the model, automatically trimming and re-encoding for optimal results.

How Retake Is Different

Retake isn't a trim tool. It's not a full regeneration. It's a directing tool.

Retake is built for directors, not editors. It's designed for professionals who need to reshape a moment without losing the context of the full scene.
