Remove an object from a video — the Vanishing Act
`void-inpaint` accepts `video_url` (required), `prompt` (required — describe the *clean background*), and `mask_prompt` (describe the *subject to remove* — it auto-masks via SAM-3). It also takes `quad_mask_video_url` if you'd rather supply your own mask video, plus `negative_prompt`, `num_inference_steps`, `strength`, `num_frames`, `enable_pass2_refinement`. It returns `{ video: { url } }` — the inpainted clip with the subject gone. LOCAL clip? Host it first: `scripts/host-local-file.sh <path>` -> pass the returned public URL as `video_url` (auto-deletes ~2 days; see CLAUDE.md "GCS ingest").
