Example setups

  • A host for each region

    Keep the guest and recast the interviewer so each regional channel has its own familiar host.

  • Test a pairing

    See how a new host and guest look together on your set before you book a full day of recording.

  • Training role-plays

    Film a coaching or hiring conversation once, then recast both people so the cast reflects each team.

How do I recast the interviewer and guest in an interview video for different markets?

  1. 01

    Upload the interview

    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 photo per person you recast

    One photo for each person you replace, dressed the way they should look on screen. Anyone you give no photo stays exactly as shot.

  3. 03

    Name each swap and run it

    Ask Copilot, for example: the interviewer with the dark bob becomes the woman in photo 1, the guest in the hoodie becomes the man in photo 2.

Swapping one person? The shared workflow needs only the clip and one photo.

Production notes

  • 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 interview 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.

FAQs

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.
How many roles can I recast in one scene?
Every person you give a photo to, one photo per new person. Name each swap by what is visible, such as clothing or position, and anyone without a photo stays as shot.
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 recast the interviewer and guest in an interview video for different markets?
Upload the interview, add one photo for each person you want to change, and name each swap. The question, the answer, the timing and the set stay as filmed. Add Morphic Dub when a market needs another language.
