Casting Changes Without Re-Shooting
MiniMax face swap edits rather than generates — performers are replaced while every head turn, lens move, edit point and audio cue from the original stays intact.
- An edit, not a renderYour footage is never rebuilt from scratch. The tool works on the file you supply, so the result drops straight into the same timeline slot the original occupied.
- Photos matched left to right, order adjustableGive each new performer a single portrait; they are assigned in reading order and stay consistent through every edit, and a short instruction can reassign who plays whom.
- Your original take carries the actingHead turns, gesture timing, practical lighting and handheld drift all come from the source file, while identity and wardrobe are drawn from the portraits you upload.
From Finished Take to New Cast in Three Moves
Pick your clip, add a portrait for each performer, and let the tool handle the rest — the running time and audio of the original come back unchanged.
What MiniMax Face Swap Does Best
Made for footage that only needs a different cast — the movement, cutting rhythm and sound design are preserved while the performers are exchanged.
Up to four performers per clip
Four portraits is the ceiling, one per role. Each face takes over its character in every shot it shows up in, and an instruction can flip the assignment.
Acting intact, identity replaced
Beats hit exactly where they did, shadows fall from the same direction, and the camera keeps its original drift. Only faces and wardrobe are new.
Edit points and mix untouched
Every transition and audio layer is inherited from the source, so the result slides into a locked sequence with no re-timing or re-recording.
Quick 768p check, 1080p delivery
Run a fast 768p preview to confirm the resemblance, then export at 1080p. Cost scales with running time, since output matches the source length.
What a good reference photo looks like
Go for a sharp, evenly lit face shot looking straight at the camera; a half-body frame keeps hair and outfit details better than a close crop. Avoid hats, sunglasses and photos with several people.
Strengths and known weak spots
Expect trouble with busy crowds, small faces in the distance, rapid movement and objects crossing the face right after a cut; in wide shots or profile turns the resemblance may drift toward the original actor.
MiniMax Face Swap: Questions Answered
Answers on clip length, photo requirements, casting order and the situations where a face replacement works best.
What exactly does MiniMax face swap change?
It replaces the performers in existing footage with the people from your portraits. Movement, framing, edit points and sound come from the original file — only identity changes.
How long can the source clip be?
Between 5 and 30 seconds, and each individual shot must stay under 15. Cut longer material into pieces first — the result matches whatever length you upload.
How many faces can I replace at once?
Up to four, with a single portrait each. Portraits are assigned to on-screen roles in reading order by default; a short written instruction lets you swap that arrangement.
Which photos give the best results?
Clear, well-lit images facing the camera, ideally framed to the waist so hair and clothes transfer too. Avoid filters, headwear, sunglasses, hands over the face and pictures containing more than one person.
Is a 768p preview worth it?
Yes — a fast low-resolution pass shows whether the new cast reads convincingly. Once it does, export the final at 1080p. Pricing is based on how long the clip runs.
When is this the wrong tool?
When you need brand-new movement, different camera work or another setting — those come from the source file. Crowded frames, small distant faces and quick motion right after a cut are also unreliable.
