Live action to claymation with AI Recast

Morphic Recast swaps the actors in finished footage while keeping the original performance, camera and timing, so the scene can be recast without a reshoot. Give it a clay puppet design for each actor and the whole shot takes on a handmade stop-motion look, with every gesture on the same beat.

  • Morphic Recast character design: a handmade clay puppet of an older woman with a silver bun in a blue raincoat
  • Morphic Recast character design: a handmade clay puppet of an older man in a tweed cap and a brown coat

A park bench, in clay. Two puppet designs, one stop-motion scene. The bench, the leaves and the couple are in clay, and the turn, the smile and both lines land on the same frames; play with sound.

Ejemplos de montaje

  • Stop-motion without the rig

    Test a stop-motion look on live-action footage before committing to weeks of frame-by-frame animation.

  • Performance to puppets

    Let actors give the performance, then turn them into puppets so the acting and timing carry over.

  • Test the puppet design

    Try a few puppet designs of the same character on one take and see which reads best in motion.

How do I turn live-action actors into claymation characters with AI?

  1. 01

    Upload the live-action shot

    Add one clip up to 30 seconds. For a longer sequence, recast it shot by shot and cut the shots together on the Compose timeline.

  2. 02

    Add a puppet design per actor

    One clay puppet design for each actor you convert, clothes included. Anyone you give no design stays as shot.

  3. 03

    Name each swap and run it

    Ask Copilot to render the whole shot as handmade clay stop-motion, naming each person by clothing so each becomes the right puppet.

Notas de producción

  • Consent and releases

    Recast only footage you hold releases for, and use photos of people who agreed to appear. Every example here uses generated people, not real actors.

  • When to also dub

    The recast keeps the original soundtrack. For new lines or another language, run Morphic Dub on the recast shot so the voices and lips match.

  • Recast or reshoot

    Recasting a scene skips a new shoot day and calling the cast back, and one take can carry a cast per market. Reshoot only when the action must change.

  • Review it as a team

    Keep the source shot, the cast photos and every take in one project, where teammates in your workspace open the same versions and comment on each.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I recast an actor after filming?
Yes. Morphic Recast swaps the people in finished footage and keeps their performance: motion, expressions, lip movement, the camera, the cuts and the soundtrack stay as shot.
Does the set turn into clay too?
It can go either way. Ask for the whole shot in the clay look, as in the example here, or name only the people and say the set stays photographic for a mixed look.
What consent do I need?
Releases from everyone in the original footage, and permission from anyone whose photo you use for the new cast. For pitches and tests before casting, use people you generate in Morphic.
How do I turn live-action actors into claymation characters with AI?
Upload the shot, add a clay puppet design for each actor, and ask Morphic Recast to render the shot in that handmade look, naming each swap. The actors become the puppets with their performance, camera and timing kept.
