Generate and download
Click generate. The model creates a new video with the swapped character. Download and use in your workflow.
Use Cases
See how AI Character Replace can be used in different scenarios.
Swap actors in test shots before casting. Try different performers in the same scene without reshoots.
Replace talent in ads for different markets. One shoot, multiple regional versions with local spokespeople.
Turn existing footage into new characters. For face-only swaps, try our face swap video tool. Swap the original person for a cartoon, mascot, or different actor.
Swap faces in UGC for privacy or variety. For AI UGC ads, try our AI UGC generator. Reuse one performer across multiple characters or looks.
Replace live actors with cartoon or stylized versions. Turn real footage into animated or illustrated content.
Use different presenters in training videos. Keep the same script and shots, change the on-screen person.
Test different talent or styles in pitch videos. Explore character options before committing to a cast.
Why Creators Love Character Replace
Swap the subject in any clip while keeping the original performance. Upload a video and a reference image, then generate 5–10 versions in minutes (without VFX timelines).
No VFX workflow needed
Skip rotoscoping, masks, and keyframes—often saving hours of manual work. Just upload and generate.
Performance stays locked
Keep the same timing, body movement, and camera motion from the source.
Real or stylized looks
Works with real people, cartoons, anime, and illustrated characters.
Make variants fast
Create 5–10 character takes in minutes to test different looks, hooks, or talent.
Cleaner frame-to-frame consistency
Designed to reduce flicker and drift so edits look more stable in motion.

"Magic Hour is the fastest way I've found to go from an idea to a polished image or video. It's simple, the results are consistent, and it's easy to iterate. It feels like a real creator tool."

"Magic Hour is a powerful AI tool for creating video, photo, and even voice content all in one place. Being able to generate videos up to 60 seconds from a single prompt is something most similar platforms still don't offer."
Daniel Davidson
Youtube Creator (194k subscribers)
"Magic Hour is one of the few AI tools I genuinely trust. Most tools are hit or miss, but Magic Hour feels reliable. I know what I'm going to get, which makes it easy to use regularly for social content."
Nasion Patriotik
Social Media Creator (1.8M followers)
"Most AI tools look impressive at first, but they're hard to rely on once you use them regularly. Magic Hour has been different for me. It's easy to use, the results are consistent, and I can get something polished without spending time fixing or redoing things. It fits naturally into how I create, which is why I keep coming back to it."
