Recast a movie trailer with AI
Morphic Recast swaps the actors in finished footage while keeping the original performance, camera and timing, so a movie trailer can be recast without a reshoot. Cut the trailer once, then give each market its own leads: the turn, the hand on the shoulder and the crashing wave land on the same beat.

A trailer beat, recast for another market. Two photos, a new lead pair. Her turn to camera, his step forward and the hand on her shoulder land on the same frames, in the same storm light and sweeping camera move.

Ce qui change et ce qui reste
| Ce qui change | Reste comme au tournage |
|---|---|
| Both leads: faces, ages and looks | Every look, step and touch, on the beat |
| Their wardrobe, taken from the cast photos | The sweeping camera move and the framing |
| Only the people you give a photo to | The storm light, the wind and the waves |
Exemples de mises en scène
A cast per market
Cut the trailer once, then recast the leads for each territory so local audiences see familiar faces.
Pitch the look first
Show financiers the trailer with generated stand-ins in the lead roles, so the tone lands before casting starts.
Test leads before release
Try a few lead pairings on the same trailer and see which one lands before the campaign goes out.
How do I recast the actors in a movie trailer without reshooting?
- 01
Upload the trailer 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
Add a photo per lead
One photo for each person you replace, dressed the way they should look on screen. Anyone you give no photo stays exactly as shot.
- 03
Name each swap and run it
Ask Copilot, for example: the woman in the charcoal coat becomes the woman in photo 1. Recast each trailer shot with the same photos.
Une seule personne à remplacer ? Le workflow partagé n’a besoin que du clip et d’une photo.

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 trailer 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.
