Nodaro DocsVideo nodes
Every video node in Nodaro, from text-to-video and talking avatars to extending, cutting, sound, titles, captions, formatting, analysis and 3D scenes.
The Video tab of the node picker holds every node that brings in, creates, animates, edits or finishes video. It covers uploads, text-to-video and image-to-video generation, long videos and whole films, talking avatars and lip sync, extending and restyling footage, cutting and assembling, sound, titles and captions, formatting, analysis and 3D previz. Press Tab on the canvas and open the Video tab to see the nodes, grouped in families.
The twelve families
Add Your Own
Bring your own footage into a workflow. Upload Video takes an MP4, MOV or WebM file or a direct link, and lets you crop, trim or convert it before the upload. For a video on YouTube, TikTok or another social site, use Video URL in the Automate tab.
Create
Make new video. Generate Video turns a prompt, a start frame or references into a clip, on more than 30 video models, and chooses text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last-frame or reference mode from what you connect. Generate Video Pro makes one long video by stitching several segments. Music Video makes visuals for a Suno song. Still to Video and Slideshow turn images and an audio track into an MP4 for free, with zoom and Ken Burns motion.
Story & Script
Plan and write before you generate. Story → Video turns a story prompt into a finished film in eight stages, from the script to the final edit, and stops for your approval between them. Each scene of that film is a Scene node with its shot list and keyframes. Generate Script writes a multi-scene script with image prompts, dialogue, music moods and sound effects, ready to feed image, voice and music nodes.
Animate & Perform
Make people and characters move and speak. AI Avatar makes a HeyGen avatar or your own image say a script or a voiceover, and Cinematic Avatar puts 1 to 3 avatar looks into a prompt-driven cinematic clip. Lip Sync makes a portrait speak an audio track or dubs a video into new speech, and Speech to Video generates a video driven by a speech track. Motion Transfer makes a character perform the moves of a reference video, and Face Swap puts a new face into a clip.
Continue & Restyle
Change footage you already have. Extend Video continues a clip with new footage that follows your prompt. Edit Video Pro replaces a span of a video with new footage, and Retake Video regenerates a time window, sound, picture or both. Video to Video restyles or edits a whole clip from a prompt, and Relight & Switch relights a subject or swaps its background, driven by the clip's own pixels.
Cut & Assemble
Edit clips into a finished video. Trim Video cuts a clip, and Combine Videos joins clips with transitions and clean joins for continuous shots. Adjust Speed, Loop Video and Fade In/Out change timing and edges. Assemble Narrated Video fits voice takes to their clips. Composite layers up to four videos, and Compose Video arranges your media into a timed composition from a description. Edit Plan plans cuts, clips or chapters from a transcript, and Apply EDL renders such a plan. Split into Chunks cuts a long file into equal pieces, and Manual Edit opens clips in the NodarCut editor for hand editing.
Sound for Video
Put sound on video, or take it off. Video SFX generates sound effects and ambience that follow the action. Merge Video & Audio adds a voiceover, music or effects to a video. Extract Audio takes the sound track out of a video, and Remove Audio leaves a silent clip.
Titles, Graphics & Captions
Add text, graphics and effects. 3D Title and Motion Graphics animate titles, lower thirds and kinetic typography from a description. After Effects plans a look such as a grade, grain or letterbox, and Lottie Overlay places animated overlays over a video. Add Captions transcribes a video and burns in captions, Video Overlay shows timed images over a video, and Render Video turns the plans of these nodes into an MP4.
Format & Export
Fit a video to where it goes. Resize Video changes the aspect ratio, and Social Media Format fits a video to the frame of a platform. Upscale Video increases the resolution with AI, Transcode Video re-encodes a file to shrink it or make it play anywhere, and Gif to Video turns an animated GIF into an MP4 for free.
Analyze
Read a video and turn it into data. Video Analysis breaks a video into short scenes with prompt-ready visuals, camera, audio and castable people and places. AI Audit re-watches a video against its analysis and applies only the fixes the footage confirms.
3D Scenes
Previz in 3D before you generate. Generate 3D Scene makes an editable, animated 3D clay scene from a description, Edit 3D Scene changes it with an instruction or direct edits, and 3D Render Pro authors and renders a 3D scene in one run. In the node picker, these nodes are listed under Titles, Graphics & Captions.

- Cinematic AvatarMake a short cinematic clip with 1 to 3 HeyGen avatar looks from a text prompt. No script or voice; the prompt directs the scene, action and camera.
- Lip SyncMake a portrait speak an audio track, or dub an existing video by re-syncing its lips to new speech, with Kling Avatar, OmniHuman, Seedance and more.
- Speech to VideoGenerate a video driven by a speech track with Wan 2.2. Connect speech audio, a portrait and a prompt, and get a talking video from 30 credits.

- Relight & SwitchRelight a subject, swap or restyle a background, or composite new elements into a video, driven by the clip's own pixels, a mask and a reference image.
Cut & Assemble
- Trim VideoCut a video by start and end time, trim seconds or frames from its edges, keep its first or last seconds, or cut at the cleanest loop point with Smart loop cut.
- Combine VideosJoin several video clips into one in the order you set, with more than 50 transitions, audio crossfades, seam trims and jump-free joins for continuous shots.
- Apply EDLRender an edit decision list into one finished video or audio file, with cuts and crossfades, and remap a transcript so captions follow the finished cut.
- Assemble Narrated VideoFit each voice take to its video clip and join the blocks into one narrated MP4. Short voices are centered, long voices slow the clip, and no voice is ever cut.
- Adjust SpeedChange a video's playback speed from 0.05x to 100x, play it in reverse, keep or shift the pitch, add smooth slow motion, or ramp the speed with segments.
- Loop VideoRepeat a short video a set number of times or until it reaches a target length, and cut it at its cleanest loop point first so that no repeat shows a jump.
- Fade In/OutFade a video in at its start and out at its end, from and to black or white, with separate durations from 0.1 to 3 seconds. The sound fades along with it.
- CompositeLayer up to four videos into one composition with per-layer position, blend mode, opacity and timing. It costs no credits; Render Video turns it into an MP4.
- Compose VideoDescribe the video you want, and an AI model arranges your connected images, clips and audio into a timed, multi-track composition that Render Video renders.
- Split into ChunksCut a long video or audio file into equal-length chunks, as audio files and video clips, so you can transcribe, dub or transform each piece separately.
- Manual EditOpen clips, images and audio in the NodarCut video editor, cut and arrange them by hand, and pass the edited video on, or pause a workflow until you finish.
- Edit PlanPlan an edit from a recording's transcript. Tighten it, find short shareable clips or mark chapters, as an edit decision list that Apply EDL renders.
Sound for Video
- Video SFXGenerate sound effects, foley and ambience that follow the action in a video, from an optional prompt. The new sound replaces the video's own audio track.
- Merge Video & AudioAdd voiceover, music or sound effects to a video. Set each track's volume and start time, and keep, lower or mute the video's own sound.
- Extract AudioPull the audio track out of a video as a standalone MP3 file, to split it into stems, clean the voice or reuse the soundtrack under another clip. No settings.
- Remove AudioStrip the audio track from a video and keep a silent clip. The picture is copied without re-encoding, so nothing is lost and the node finishes almost at once.
