Why swap the cast instead of regenerating
MiniMax face swap is a replacement pass rather than a fresh render — head turns, camera drift, edit points and the mix stay put, and only the performers change.
- A casting change on a locked cutNothing gets re-animated: the tool works on footage that already exists, so the result drops straight back into the timeline where the original sat.
- Photos map left to right, prompts can overrideOne portrait per newcomer, assigned in the same left-to-right order in every shot and kept consistent across cuts; a written instruction can reassign the pairing.
- Your source clip supplies the actingGesture timing, on-set lighting, lens movement and the way heads turn all come from the original take; faces and wardrobe come from your uploads.
Running a recast in three steps
From a finished take to a brand-new cast in three moves, with the original length and audio left exactly as they were.
Built for footage that is already right
Made for takes where only the casting is off: MiniMax face swap leaves motion, edit rhythm and audio alone and changes just the people on screen.
Up to four performers, left to right
Four portraits maximum, one per role, each taking over a main character in every shot it appears in; the order can be overridden with a prompt.
Acting preserved, identities replaced
Gestures land on the same beats, light falls the same way and the camera drifts as before; only faces and clothing are new.
Edit points and mix carried over
The cut pattern and the audio mix are inherited, so a recast can drop into a locked sequence without any re-timing or re-recording.
768p check, 1080p delivery
Preview at 768p to judge likeness, then commit to 1080p; output runs as long as the source, so cost scales with duration.
Picking a reference photo
Sharp, evenly lit, front-facing images work best; a half-body frame carries hair and clothing better than a tight headshot. Avoid sunglasses, hats and group photos.
Where it holds and where it slips
Expect trouble with crowds, small distant faces, rapid motion and occlusion after hard cuts; in wide shots or profile turns, likeness can drift back toward the original performer.
Questions about MiniMax face swap
Source limits, casting order, photo requirements and the situations where a recast holds up — answered for MiniMax face swap.
What exactly does MiniMax face swap do?
It inserts the people from your portraits into footage you already own, preserving the original motion, camera work, edits and audio — a casting change applied to a locked clip.
How long can the source clip be?
Between 5 and 30 seconds, and no single shot beyond 15 seconds. Split longer material first; the result comes back at the same duration you submitted.
How many people can be replaced, and in what order?
Up to four, one portrait each. Photos take the main roles left to right by default; an instruction such as 'the woman on the right becomes person 1' reverses that.
What makes a good reference photo?
Sharp, evenly lit, front-facing portraits — ideally half-body so hair and clothing carry over. Avoid sunglasses, hats, hands over the face, group shots and heavy filters.
Should I preview at 768p or go straight to 1080p?
Run a quick 768p pass to confirm the casting reads correctly, then render at 1080p once it does; pricing follows clip length.
When is this the wrong tool?
When you need new motion, different camera moves or another location — the source clip decides those. Crowds, distant faces and fast action across hard cuts are weak spots as well.
