Tips for Better Character Swaps
Small choices that make your swapped video look great.
Pick a clear character photo

Use a sharp, well-lit photo where your character is easy to see. A clean full body shot gives the swap more to work with.

Choose a video with one clear mover

Simple moves like a dance, a walk or a wave work best. One person in the frame is easier to follow than a busy crowd.

Preview and label it

Play the result back before you post, and say that it is AI-generated so viewers know how it was made.
