Why Creators Choose Minimax H3 Video To Video
Think of it as recasting rather than regenerating: footage you already shot keeps its timing, lighting and audio, and only the faces on screen are replaced.
- Recasting, not generating from scratchNothing about the original look gets rebuilt — your existing footage is simply re-cast with the performers taken from your photos.
- Cast up to four new faces from photosUpload one clean photo per performer, four at most, and they step into the leading on-screen roles from left to right, wherever those roles appear.
- Your original take still carries the performanceActing, gestures, pacing, lighting, lens movement, edit rhythm and the existing audio track all survive, so the result drops straight into the finished cut.
Three Steps to Recast with Minimax H3 Video To Video
Bring a clip that already works, line up your reference photos, then let the swap render — three steps from start to finish.
What Minimax H3 Video To Video Does Best
A cast swap that leaves the acting, the edit and the sound of your source clip intact and changes only the people on screen.
Four new faces, mapped left to right
Four photos is the limit, and they take over the leading on-screen roles left to right wherever those roles appear. Identity carries across cuts, and a short prompt can reorder the mapping.
The performance stays, the people change
Every gesture, beat and expression comes from your footage, along with the lighting and camera motion, while the new faces and wardrobe arrive from the photos you upload.
Your edit and audio carry over
The rhythm of your cut and the existing soundtrack come through untouched, so the finished swap drops into a locked edit rather than needing to be rebuilt.
768p preview, 1080p master
Check the swap at 768p before paying for the higher resolution, and since runtime mirrors your input, cost tracks the length of the clip.
Hair and clothing come from the photo
If your reference shows more than a face, hair and outfit carry across as well — which is why a half-body shot beats a tight headshot.
Made for footage that is already good
Film crews, brand marketers, social creators and fashion or commerce teams reach for it whenever a take is perfect but the wrong performer is in it.
Minimax H3 Video To Video — FAQ
Answers to the questions people ask most about recasting finished footage with Minimax H3 Video To Video.
What exactly does this recast tool do?
It swaps the performers in an existing video for the people in your uploaded photos. Motion, camera work, cuts and audio stay exactly as they were, and by default the photos claim the leading roles from left to right in every shot those roles appear in.
How long can the source video be?
Between 5 and 30 seconds, with no single shot longer than 15 seconds, so split longer takes before uploading. The recast comes back at the same length as the input.
How many people can I swap, and in which order?
Up to four, one photo each, and they claim the leading on-screen roles from left to right by default. A prompt such as 'the woman on the right becomes person 1' can reassign that mapping.
Which reference photos work best?
One sharp, front-facing, evenly lit photo per person. A half-body shot carries hair and clothing better than a tight headshot. Steer clear of sunglasses, hats, hands over the face, group photos, and low-resolution or heavily filtered portraits.
Should I render at 768p or 1080p?
Preview at 768p to confirm the swap reads correctly, then commit to the 1080p master. Cost scales with how long the clip runs rather than with resolution alone.
When is this tool the wrong choice?
Skip it when you need new motion, new camera moves or a different environment. Results also weaken with busy crowds, small or distant faces, fast action or occlusion after hard cuts, and identity can drift back toward the original performer in long shots or profile turns.
