Find the clothing
The person media is analyzed to identify a shirt, coat, or jacket.
EFFECT / CLOTHING VIDEO FILL
Clothing Video Fill Effect
Turn clothing into a moving screen. The effect identifies the shirt or jacket, keeps the person and scene intact, and plays your second video only inside the clothing area.
RUN THE EFFECT
Fill clothing using two hosted media URLs.
Paste one public person image or video URL and one public texture-video URL that Replicate can fetch.
HOW IT WORKS
Motion contained by the clothes.
The effect uses clothing parsing instead of replacing the whole person, so the face, background, and surrounding frame remain visible.
Build the mask
The detected clothing becomes a stable area for the visual treatment.
Place the video
Your texture clip is resized and played only inside the clothing mask.
Render the result
Edges, opacity, and optional source lighting are combined into an MP4.
A wearable screen without a manual roto pass.
Use a clean front-facing person shot and a contrasting shirt or jacket for the clearest result. Complex poses and occlusion can reduce mask accuracy.
USE CASES
Where Clothing Video Fill fits.
Fashion films
Put moving graphics, material studies, or campaign footage inside a look.
Music visuals
Turn a performer’s top into a contained layer of rhythm, texture, or archival footage.
Short-form edits
Create a transformation that reads quickly in vertical social video.
Campaign prototypes
Test animated clothing treatments before a larger compositing production.
STARTING POINTS
Three ways to treat the fill.
Crisp
Hard edges and full-opacity video for a graphic screen-print feel.
Soft blend
Softer edges with original highlights retained over the moving texture.
Bold fill
A slightly expanded mask that makes the inserted video more dominant.
Build it into your workflow.
The stable BLXSSXM endpoint keeps the existing garment-video-fill API slug for compatibility while the public effect uses the clearer Clothing Video Fill name.

}FAQ
Before you render.
What is Clothing Video Fill?+
It detects a shirt, jacket, or similar upper-body clothing and composites a second video only inside that detected area.
What inputs do I need?+
Use a public image or video URL containing one clearly visible person and a public texture-video URL. Direct uploads are available in the BLXSSXM iOS app.
Which clothes work best?+
Shirts, jackets, and coats with clear boundaries work best. Low contrast, crossed arms, heavy occlusion, and very loose silhouettes can make the mask less accurate.
Can I use it through an API?+
Yes. POST to /api/effects/garment-video-fill, then poll the returned prediction id through the matching status route.
Is the clothing tracking perfect?+
No. This is an experimental effect based on semantic clothing parsing. Fast motion, unusual poses, or hidden clothing may produce unstable edges.
