🎬 reshot - Turn Videos into Creative Control for AI

🚀 What Is reshot?

reshot is a free, open-source tool that helps you turn any video into depth maps, skeleton poses, or edge lines for use with cutting-edge AI video generators like Seedance 2.0/2.5, MiniMax H3, and Wan VACE. Instead of trying to copy actors from a scene, you capture the structure of the shot and use it to guide your AI creations.

Think of it as a translator that takes a regular video and extracts the blueprint — so you can rebuild the scene with different characters, styles, or settings. Whether you’re making short dramas, animated clips, or experimental art, reshot gives you precise control over your AI video projects.

✨ Key Features

• Multiple Extraction Modes: Generate depth maps (for understanding spatial layout), OpenPose skeletons (for human movement), or Canny edge lines (for contours and shapes) from any video.
• AI-Native Output: Files are formatted specifically for use with Seedance 2.0/2.5 reference video, MiniMax H3 Fun ControlNet, and Wan VACE control networks.
• ComfyUI Integration: Works seamlessly with ComfyUI workflows, a popular node-based interface for AI image and video generation.
• Depth Estimation: Uses Depth-Anything technology for accurate scene depth, perfect for 3D-style animations or camera movement control.
• Pose Estimation: Employs DWPose/OpenPose to capture human skeletal motion frame by frame.
• Completely Free: Open-sourced under the Apache-2.0 license. No hidden fees, no subscriptions.
• Built for Creators: Developed by Maosika 猫斯卡 (www.maosika.com), an AI short-drama production system, so it’s tested in real creative workflows.

📥 Download and Installation

That’s it — no programming knowledge required. The app opens with a simple window where you can drag and drop your video files.

🛠️ How to Use reshot

Step 1: Load Your Video

Open reshot and click the “Browse” button or drag a video file (MP4, MOV, AVI, etc.) into the main window. The video will appear in the preview area.

Step 2: Choose Your Extraction Mode

Select one of three modes based on what you need:

• Depth Map: Use this when you want the AI to understand foreground/background relationships, camera movement, or 3D spatial consistency.
• OpenPose Skeleton: Use this when the video contains people or animals and you want to control their movements precisely in your AI-generated scene.
• Canny Lines: Use this for general edge detection, great for maintaining composition, object shapes, and architectural lines.

Step 3: Adjust Settings (Optional)

For advanced users, you can tweak parameters like:

• Frame sampling rate (how many frames to process per second)
• Line thickness for Canny mode
• Skeleton point size for pose mode
• Color/contrast adjustments for depth output

Default settings work well for most videos, so don’t worry if you’re not sure what to change.

Step 4: Process and Export

Click the “Process” button. reshot will analyze your video and generate a new video file (usually in MP4 or image sequence format) with the extracted control data overlaid or saved as separate layers. You’ll see a progress bar — depending on video length and quality, this may take a few seconds to a few minutes.

Step 5: Use in Your AI Workflow

Once processed, you’ll have a file ready to plug into:

• ComfyUI: Load the output as a “ControlNet” input node connected to your Seedance, MiniMax, or Wan model.
• Seedance 2.0/2.5: Reference video input for guided generation.
• MiniMax H3: Fun ControlNet channel for style and pose transfer.
• Wan VACE: Video-to-video animation with structure preservation.

Check the documentation of your specific AI tool for exact node setup, but the process is generally: Load model → Connect control video → Add your prompt → Generate.

💡 Use Cases and Ideas

• Short Drama Production: Maintain camera angles and actor blocking while swapping in different characters or costumes.
• Character Animation: Use a casual video of yourself moving to drive a fully AI-animated character in a new environment.
• Scene Recomposition: Keep the depth structure of a real location but change lighting, weather, or time of day.
• Motion Study: Extract skeletons from dance videos to study or remix choreography.
• Artistic Stylization: Use Canny lines to preserve composition while completely changing the visual aesthetic (watercolor, cyberpunk, claymation, etc.).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is reshot really free? A: Yes, completely free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 license. You can use it commercially without paying anything.

Q: Does reshot work with any video? A: Most standard video formats work fine. Very high-resolution (8K+) videos may take longer to process.

Q: What are the minimum system requirements? A: reshot is lightweight and runs on any Windows 10/11 PC. For best performance with longer videos, 8GB of RAM and a modest dedicated GPU are recommended, but not required.

Q: Can I batch process multiple videos? A: Yes! In the app, add multiple videos to the queue and process them one after another. You can also process them simultaneously if your computer has enough resources.

Q: Where do I find the output files? A: By default, reshot saves processed files in the same folder as your source video, with a suffix like _depth, _pose, or _canny added to the filename.
