Recast a proposal scene with AI
Morphic Recast swaps the actors in finished footage while keeping the original performance, camera and timing, so a proposal scene can be recast without a reshoot. Add one photo for each of the couple: the kneel, the question, the tears and the hug land on the same beat, under the same dusk light.
- 30-second clips
- One photo per person
- Paid plans
A rooftop proposal, recast. Two photos, a new couple. The question, the yes, the hug and the string lights are as shot; play with sound to hear the same moment.

What changes and what stays
| Changes | Stays as shot |
|---|---|
| Both people: face, hair, age and look | The kneel, the question, the yes and the hug |
| Their wardrobe, taken from the cast photos | The ring box, framing and camera |
| Only the people you give a photo to | Dusk light, string lights and sound |
Example setups
Your final couple
The scene was shot with stand-ins or before casting closed. Put the final couple onto the take you already love.
A couple per market
Shoot the moment once for a series or a jewellery spot, then recast the couple for each region it runs in.
Test the chemistry
Try a few pairings in the same moment and see which couple reads best before you book the actors.
How do I recast the actors in a proposal scene without reshooting?
- 01
Upload the proposal 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 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.
- 03
Name each swap and run it
Ask Copilot, for example: the man in the navy sweater becomes the man in photo 1, the woman in the cream coat becomes the woman in photo 2.
Swapping one person? The shared workflow needs only the clip and one 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 proposal 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.
