Aging up with AI Recast
Morphic Recast swaps the actors in finished footage while keeping the original performance, camera and timing, so an actor can be aged up without a reshoot or prosthetics. Make one aged reference from a frame of the actor, and the same performance plays decades later in the same light.

The same woman, forty years on. One aged reference, made from her own frame. The smile, the whisper and the rainy window light are as shot; only the years change. Play with sound.

Ce qui change et ce qui reste
| Ce qui change | Reste comme au tournage |
|---|---|
| Her age: hair, skin and features | The same person, performance and whisper |
| Nothing in her wardrobe | The window, the rain and the framing |
| Nothing else in the shot | The light, timing and the recorded sound |
Exemples de mises en scène
A flash-forward
Shoot the scene once with your lead, then show the same character decades later without a second actor.
Skip the prosthetics test
See how an aged look plays on the real take before you commit to make-up and prosthetics days.
Bookend a story
Open and close a film with the older version of a character, cut from the same performance.
How do I make an actor look older in a video with AI?
- 01
Upload the 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.
- 02
Make an aged reference
Take a frame of the actor and age it in Morphic with an image edit, so the face stays theirs. Keep the same clothes.
- 03
Name the swap and run it
Ask Copilot, for example: the woman by the window becomes the older woman in the reference. Everything else stays as shot.

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 an aged 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.
