Key Features of AI Character Swap
Replace a person in a source video with your own anime character or character reference image. Keep the original performance, scene, and audio as closely as the AI model allows.
Replace the Entire Character, Not Just the Face
Transform the person in your video into an anime character or another character of your choice. Replace their overall appearance, including the face, hair, body, and outfit, rather than changing only the face.
Preserve Original Motion and Expressions
Transfer the original performance to your replacement character, including body movements, gestures, expressions, and timing. Results may vary with fast movements, occlusion, and complex poses.
Keep the Original Background and Camera
Retain the source video's environment, framing, and camera movement where supported by the model. Your character takes the place of the original person while the surrounding scene stays as close to the source as possible.
Keep the Original Audio
Preserve the source video's music, dialogue, and sound effects when supported by the selected model. Keep the original soundtrack alongside your character replacement without needing to recreate the audio separately.
Bring Anime Characters into Any Performance
Put your original anime characters into dance videos, action scenes, performances, and cinematic shots. Start with a source video and a character reference image to transform an existing performance without manually animating every movement.
How to Replace a Character in a Video with AI

Tips for Better AI Character Swap Results
The right source footage, character reference, and model settings can help improve character consistency and
make replacement results easier to evaluate.
Use a Clear Character Reference Image
Choose a sharp image with clearly visible facial features, hairstyle, and clothing. Avoid heavy occlusion and extreme angles when possible.
Match the Reference Image to the Video Framing
Use a reference image that shows a similar amount of the body as the source video. Full-body footage generally benefits from a full-body reference, while close-up shots work well with a clearly visible face.
Choose Footage with Minimal Obstruction
Start with a video where the person is easy to see. Fast movements, overlapping people, and frequent occlusion can make consistent character replacement more challenging.
Start with Short, Simple Clips
Test a clip with one visible person, minimal scene changes, and fewer cuts. This makes it easier to evaluate character consistency, motion alignment, and background stability.
Check Audio and Model Settings
If you want to retain the original dialogue, music, or sound effects, choose a model that supports source-audio preservation. Check the selected model's capabilities and preview the output to confirm whether the audio is retained.
What Can You Create with AI Character Swap?
Turn existing footage into new character-driven videos. Replace the person in a source clip with your
anime character while reusing the original performance and scene.
Anime Dance Videos
Put your anime character at the center of a dance performance. Reuse the choreography, gestures, and timing from a reference clip to create anime dance videos without animating every move by hand.
Viral Trends and Meme Videos
Give popular short-video formats your own anime twist. Recast a dance challenge, funny reaction, or recognizable meme with your original character for shareable social content.
Original Character and Mascot Videos
Bring your original character (OC), virtual persona, or mascot into existing footage. Create character-led clips for social media, fan content, and personal projects while using a reference image to guide the character's appearance.
Anime Action and Cinematic Scenes
Reimagine action sequences, dramatic entrances, and cinematic performances with your own character. Reuse the source video's movement and camera work to explore a different character in the same scene.
Character Concepts and Performance Previews
See how your character could look performing a dance, gesture, or scene before investing in a more elaborate animation workflow. Test character designs and creative ideas using existing footage as a starting point.
Character Swap vs AI Motion Control
Choose the right tool for your project: replace a person in an existing video with your character, or
animate a character image using movements from a reference video.
