Key Features of AI Character Replacement
Replace the person in a source video with your character while aiming to keep the original performance, scene, and audio where the model supports it.
Replace the Entire Character
Replace a person in your source video with an anime character or another character image. The goal is to change the character’s appearance, not just their face.
Preserve Original Motion
Keep the original performance as closely as possible, including body movements, gestures, and timing. Results may vary with fast motion, occlusion, and complex poses.
Keep the Original Scene
Retain the source scene, framing, and camera movement where supported by the model, so the result feels connected to the original footage.
Maintain Original Audio
Keep the source audio when supported by the selected generation model. Music, dialogue, and sound effects can help preserve the feel of the original clip.
Bring Anime Characters into Live-Action Videos
Turn your original anime character into the star of a dance, performance, or cinematic scene without manually animating every movement.
How to Replace a Character in a Video with AI
Upload a source video and a character image, then generate a replacement clip in three steps.
01 — Upload Your Source Video
Choose a video containing the person you want to replace. Clear footage with visible body movements usually makes it easier to evaluate the result.
02 — Upload Your Character Image
Add the anime character or custom character image you want to use. A clear image with a visible face and body can help guide the replacement.
03 — Generate Your Character Replacement Video
Generate your video and review how the character fits the original movements and scene. Save your result or adjust your inputs for another generation.

Tips for Better AI Character Replacement Results
Clear character images, simple source footage, and short test clips usually make it easier to evaluate replacement quality.
Use Clear Character Images
Choose a sharp reference image with clearly visible facial features and a recognizable hairstyle. A full-body image can help when the output needs to show the entire character.
Choose Videos with Clear Body Movements
Start with a single visible person and a relatively unobstructed body. Complex interactions, fast motion, and frequent occlusions can make replacement more difficult.
Match the Character and Source Framing
A full-body character reference is often a useful starting point for a full-body source video. Make sure the character image provides enough visual information for the intended shot.
Start with a Short Clip
Test a short, representative segment first. Check face consistency, body proportions, clothing, and background stability before using longer or more complex footage.
Review the Original Audio
If audio preservation is important, verify that the selected model returns the original sound. Do not assume every video-generation model preserves it automatically.
