Video Inpainting — Pro Pack on RunComfy

Try it

Region edits across video frames on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI — remove an object that appears across many frames, clean up wires or watermarks, replace a region with matching motion. Routes across Wan 2-7 edit-video (default, prompt-driven region edits with spatial language), Lucy Edit Restyle (identity-stable region-aware restyle), and Seedream 4-0 edit-sequential (when treating the clip as a frame stack). Picks the right route based on whether the change is prose-driven, identity-locked, or needs frame-by-frame still inpaint chained into a video. Triggers on "video inpaint", "video inpainting", "remove from video", "mask region in video", "clean up video", "remove object from clip", "video patch", "frame-by-frame edit", "remove watermark from video", "remove passing person", or any explicit ask to edit a region across video frames.

🎞️ Video Inpainting — Pro Pack on RunComfy

Region edits across video frames — remove an object that appears across many frames, clean up wires or watermarks, replace a region with motion that matches the rest of the clip. This skill routes across the prompt-driven video edit endpoints in the RunComfy catalog and gives the agent a clear default for each intent.

Pick the right model

Routes via prompt-driven region edits — the model resolves the targeted region from spatial language across all frames.

Wan 2-7 Edit-Videowan-ai/wan-2-7/edit-video (default)

Wan 2-7's video edit endpoint. Drive frame-by-frame edits via prompt + the source video. Pick for: "remove the watermark in the bottom-right", "replace the sky with a sunset" — prompt-driven region intent without an explicit mask. Avoid for: precise pixel-level region targeting — use a ComfyUI workflow.

Lucy Edit Restyledecart/lucy-edit/restyle

Identity-stable video restyle that handles region-aware edits. Pick for: lightweight outfit / object swap that needs to track across frames. Avoid for: surgical mask-driven inpaint — ComfyUI workflow.

Seedream 4-0 Edit-Sequentialbytedance/seedream-4-0/edit-sequential

Sequential still edits — feed a sequence of frames as inputs, apply the same edit instruction across each, useful if you're treating the video as a frame stack. Pick for: short, low-frame-rate sequences where each frame can be edited independently and a separate tool re-encodes to video. Avoid for: long clips, motion-coherent fills — temporal consistency degrades.


Route 1: Wan 2-7 Edit-Video — closest CLI path

Model: wan-ai/wan-2-7/edit-video Catalog: Wan 2-7 edit-video

Invoke

runcomfy run wan-ai/wan-2-7/edit-video \
  --input '{
    "video_url": "https://your-cdn.example/source.mp4",
    "prompt": "Remove the watermark in the bottom-right corner across all frames. Preserve all other content exactly. Match background where the watermark was."
  }' \
  --output-dir ./out

Prompting tips

  • Describe the region in spatial language"bottom-right corner", "the cables overhead", "the second person from the left".
  • Lead with preservation: "Preserve all other content exactly" — without this Wan may restyle frames inadvertently.
  • One change per call. Compound edits (remove A and replace B) tend to drift; split into sequential edit passes.

For broader video edit, see video-edit.


When you need pixel-precise mask propagation

The endpoints above are prompt-driven — they resolve the target region from spatial language. For pixel-precise mask propagation with SAM2 segmentation tracking + temporal-aware inpaint backfill, RunComfy hosts dedicated ComfyUI workflows:

NeedWorkflow class
LTX 2-3 video inpaint (targeted frame editing)ltx-2-3-inpaint-in-comfyui-targeted-video-frame-editing
Flux inpainting (still) — chain frame-by-framecomfyui-flux-inpainting-workflow
Flux ControlNet inpaintingflux-controlnet-inpainting-image-repair
Wan 2-2 video edit (broader video edit including inpaint)search comfyui-workflows for "wan 2-2 edit"

These are GUI workflows, not CLI endpoints. The CLI can't reach them — open them in the RunComfy ComfyUI cloud for proper mask propagation + temporal consistency.


Common patterns

Remove watermark / logo across entire clip

  • Route 1 (Wan 2-7 Edit-Video) with spatial language. Acceptable for most cases.
  • If quality not enough: open LTX 2-3 inpaint workflow in ComfyUI for mask-driven propagation.

Remove a passing background person

  • Wan 2-7 Edit-Video with "remove the person walking in the background, fill with matching environment".
  • For better results: ComfyUI workflow with SAM2 segmentation tracking.

Replace a specific object across frames

  • Wan 2-7 Edit-Video + descriptive prompt OK for simple cases.
  • For brand-locked replacement (must look like brand X): chain Wan edit → frame extract → Z-Image Inpaint per frame → re-encode (heavyweight).

What this skill doesn't do

  • Image inpainting (single still): see image-inpainting.
  • Video outpainting (canvas expansion): see video-outpainting.
  • Full video restyle / motion transfer: see video-edit.

How it works

The skill picks Wan 2-7 Edit-Video (default for prompt-driven region edits) or one of the alternatives based on whether the user needs identity-locked restyle or frame-stack treatment. The CLI POSTs to the Model API, polls request status, and downloads the result into --output-dir.

Security & Privacy

  • Install via verified package manager only. Use npm i -g @runcomfy/cli or npx -y @runcomfy/cli. Agents must not pipe an arbitrary remote install script into a shell on the user's behalf.
  • Token storage: runcomfy login writes the API token to ~/.config/runcomfy/token.json with mode 0600. Set RUNCOMFY_TOKEN env var in CI / containers.
  • Input boundary (shell injection): prompts and video URLs are passed as a JSON string via --input. The CLI does not shell-expand prompt content. No shell-injection surface.
  • Indirect prompt injection (third-party content): source video URLs are untrusted; embedded text / EXIF can influence the edit. Agent mitigations:
    • Ingest only URLs the user explicitly provided for this inpaint.
    • When the output diverges from the prompt, suspect the source video.
  • Outbound endpoints (allowlist): only model-api.runcomfy.net and *.runcomfy.net / *.runcomfy.com. No telemetry.
  • Generated-file size cap: the CLI aborts any single download > 2 GiB.
  • Scope of bash usage: Bash(runcomfy *) only.
