veo_reshoot

Re-render an existing video with a different camera motion to change cinematography without regenerating from scratch. Apply static shots, directional pans, or dolly-zoom effects.

Instructions

Re-render a video with a different camera motion.

Re-renders an existing video clip with a new camera movement applied.
Useful for changing the cinematography of a video without regenerating it from scratch.

Use this when:
- You want to change the camera movement in a video
- You need a static shot vs a dynamic camera movement
- You want to apply a dolly-zoom or tracking shot to existing video

Returns:
    Task ID and re-rendered video information including URLs and state.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
video_idYesThe video ID from a previous generation result. Use the 'id' field from the video data.
motion_typeYesCamera motion to apply when re-rendering the video. STATIONARY* keeps the camera fixed (with optional direction pan). UP/DOWN/LEFT_TO_RIGHT/RIGHT_TO_LEFT are directional camera movements. FORWARD/BACKWARD moves camera toward/away from subject. DOLLY_IN_ZOOM_OUT/DOLLY_OUT_ZOOM_IN are dolly-zoom effects.
callback_urlNoOptional URL to receive a POST callback when reshoot completes.

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It states returns include state but does not disclose behavioral traits like destructiveness or failure handling. Adequate but not thorough.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise with a short summary, bulleted usage list, and returns line. Front-loaded, no wasted sentences.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 3 parameters, output schema exists, and description states returned info (task ID, URLs, state), it is complete for a re-render tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds little beyond schema; motion_type details are repeated. No extra meaning provided.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses specific verbs 'Re-render' and 'apply' and clearly distinguishes from siblings by focusing on camera motion modification of existing video, unlike generation tools like veo_text_to_video.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit 'Use this when:' bullets listing specific scenarios, giving clear context for when to use the tool, though it does not mention when not to use or alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
