VACE Merge Back — splices VACE sampler output back into the original full-length video.
Connect the original (untrimmed) clip, the VACE sampler output, and the vace_pipe from VACE Source Prep.
The pipe carries mode, trim bounds, and context frame counts for automatic blending.
Pass-through modes (Edge Extend, Frame Interpolation, Keyframe, Video Inpaint, Upscale):
Returns vace_output as-is — the VACE output IS the final result.
Splice modes (End, Pre, Middle, Join, Bidirectional, Replace):
Reconstructs original[:trim_start] + vace_output + original[trim_end:]
with automatic blending across the full context zones.
For two-clip Join Extend, connect source_clip_2 — the tail comes from the second clip.
Blend methods:
none — Hard cut at seams (fastest)
alpha — Simple linear crossfade
optical_flow — Motion-compensated blend using Farneback dense optical flow
