CHARACTER REPLACEMENT AI
Quick answer
Replace Character uses a replacement character image and a source video. The source video provides motion and framing, while the character image guides who should appear in the result.
Input requirements
Match the source type to a conservative first motion target. That improves the keeper rate before spending credits on longer clips.
| Input | Best for | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Replacement character image | Clear full-body or upper-body subject with readable face and outfit | Tiny, cropped, or heavily obscured subjects |
| Source video | One visible subject, clean movement, 3-30 seconds | Fast cuts, occlusions, or multiple similar characters |
| Prompt | Short preservation notes for outfit, lighting, or realism | Asking for a different action than the source video |
Failure reasons
Use a source video with a clear single subject and less occlusion.
Upload a clearer character image and keep the prompt focused on preservation.
Upload a source video first so duration-based credits can be calculated.
FAQ
Best results come from short videos with one clear subject and stable motion.
A prompt is optional, but short notes help preserve style, lighting, or outfit details.
Motion-control credits depend on source video duration, so the estimate updates after upload.
