Live action to cartoon 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 drawing of each character and the whole shot is redrawn in that cartoon style, the room included, with every gesture and laugh on the same beat.

A café scene, redrawn as a cartoon. Two drawings, one cartoon. The friends and the whole café are redrawn in the same 2D style, and the story, the laugh behind her hand and the sip land on the same frames.

Contoh situasi
Live action to animation
Shoot a scene with actors on a real set, then turn the whole shot into your cartoon style for an animated short.
Acting drives animation
Let actors give the performance on set, then turn them into drawn characters so the timing and acting carry over.
Test the character design
Try two or three drawings of the same lead on one take and see which design plays best in motion.
How do I turn live-action actors into cartoon characters with AI?
- 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.
- 02
Add a drawing per character
One flat 2D drawing for each actor you turn into a cartoon, outfit included. Anyone you give no drawing stays exactly as shot.
- 03
Name each swap and run it
Ask Copilot to redraw the whole shot in the style of your drawings, naming each person by their clothing so each becomes the right character.

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.
