The Hail Mary effect stretches bright areas of a video into soft trails. You can work with the AI agent in invideo Editor to create this look on your footage and refine the result.
1. Open your footage
Open your project and choose the clip you want to work on.
2. Provide a visual reference
Attach a video showing the effect you want. Explain which part of the reference you want applied to your clip.
3. Describe the look you want
Tell the agent how pronounced the trails should be and which direction they should follow. Mention anything you want to preserve, such as your existing colour treatment.
đĄ Suggested prompt:
'Use this reference video to add a Hail Mary effect to my clip. Create soft light trails from the brightest areas, extending in one direction. Keep my existing colour treatment and make the effect subtle.'
4. Review and refine
Play the edited clip and check how the effect looks across the shot. Ask for adjustments to the trails, or use the available effect controls to refine the result.
Does this generate a new video?
This workflow applies a visual effect to your existing footage. It does not require generating replacement footage.
