Wan 2.7 VideoEdit can take a normal video plus a modified start frame and generate a completely new scene while keeping the same character motion and camera movement. The trick is to cut the video into short clips, redesign the first frame of each clip, then feed that pair into Wan 2.7 Edit.

Final Result
Cut the Video
Break the source into the shot beats you want to restyle.
Edit Start Frames
Use Nano Banana to create the new first frame for each beat.
Run Wan 2.7 Edit
Provide the clip as input video and the edited frame as reference image.
Cloud World
A soft sky scene with the same seated character and gesture.
Lava Field
A volcanic landscape while preserving the pose and framing.
Jungle Room
A lush interior jungle pass with the same subject placement.
Snow Room
The snow pass used in the node example below.
What We Are Building
In this workflow, one continuous performance becomes four different environments: snow room, jungle room, lava field, and cloud world. Each output is generated from the same underlying motion, so the character stays consistent and the edit feels like one connected VFX shot sequence.
Wan 2.7 Edit Duration Rule
Wan 2.7 Edit has a 2 second minimum input requirement and a 10 second maximum duration. If one of your shots is shorter than 2 seconds, extend or trim the input clip to 2 seconds before Wan, then clip the generated result back to the final shot duration after generation.
Step 1: Cut the Source Video
1
Add your source video to the Node Editor and split it into the beats you want to transform. For this example, the video is cut into four clips. Each clip becomes its own scene pass.
Keep the cuts simple. Wan is following the motion in each clip, so short single-action beats are easier to restyle than clips with fast cuts or big camera changes.
Step 2: Extract the Start Frame
2
For each split clip, connect it to an Extract Image node and set the extraction method to First. This gives you the exact start frame Wan will use as the visual anchor.
The start frame matters because it defines the new scene before the video generation begins. The closer the edited frame stays to the original pose and composition, the cleaner the motion transfer will be.
Step 3: Modify the Frame with Nano Banana
3
Connect the extracted frame to a Generate Image node and use Nano Banana or Nano Banana Pro to redesign the scene. Keep the person, pose, and camera angle intact, then change the environment.
For the snow pass, the image edit covers the room in realistic snow while keeping the character and room layout stable.

Step 4: Generate the New Scene with Wan 2.7 Edit
4
Add a Generate Video node and choose Wan 2.7 VideoEdit. Connect the 2 second input clip to Input Video, and connect the Nano Banana result to Reference Image.
Input Video: the clip that contains the motion to preserve.
Reference Image: the edited first frame that defines the new environment.
Duration: use at least 2 seconds for Wan, and keep every Wan 2.7 Edit generation at 10 seconds or less.

The snow branch: split clip, extract first frame, generate a snowy start frame, trim to Wan's 2 second minimum, then run Wan 2.7 VideoEdit with the clip and edited frame.
Step 5: Repeat for Every Clip
5
Repeat the same pattern for each split: extract the first frame, edit that frame into a new scene, run Wan 2.7 Edit with the matching clip, and save the output.
This is how the four modified starts below become four separate video generations. You are not asking Wan to invent motion from scratch. You are giving it motion from the video and style from the edited start frame.
Cloud World
A soft sky scene with the same seated character and gesture.
Lava Field
A volcanic landscape while preserving the pose and framing.
Jungle Room
A lush interior jungle pass with the same subject placement.
Snow Room
The snow pass used in the node example below.
Step 6: Trim and Assemble the Timeline
6
After Wan finishes each clip, trim the generated result down to the final shot length and connect all outputs into a Timeline node. In this example, the final edit uses four short clips around 1.2 to 1.4 seconds each.
Final assembly: trim each generated scene to the real beat length, then feed the clips into a Timeline node.

Try the Public Workflow
Open the public workflow, swap in your own source video, and duplicate the scene branch for each look you want to create.
Keep the prompt direct: describe the new environment, say that the reference image is the starting scene, and explicitly ask Wan to preserve the exact character motion and camera motion from the input video.
