Period costume with AI Recast
Morphic Recast swaps the actors in finished footage while keeping the original performance, camera and timing, so a scene can move to another era without a reshoot. Make a period reference from a frame of each actor, and the same people play the same moment in 1920s wardrobe.

The same toast, in the 1920s. Two period references, made from their own frames. The toast, the clink and both lines are as shot; only the wardrobe and hair change era. Play with sound.

Ce qui change et ce qui reste
| Ce qui change | Reste comme au tournage |
|---|---|
| Wardrobe, now 1920s | The same people and their performance |
| Hair and styling to match the era | Every toast, clink and line |
| Nothing about who they are | The bar, the framing, light and sound |

How do I put actors in period costume in existing footage 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 a period reference
Take a frame of each actor and restyle the wardrobe and hair in Morphic with an image edit, so the faces stay theirs.
- 03
Name each swap and run it
Ask Copilot, for example: the woman in the white blouse becomes the woman in reference 1, the man in black becomes the man in reference 2.

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 period 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.
