Why H3 Recast Belongs in Your Editing Kit
Rather than generating new footage, H3 Recast works on a clip you already own — the performance, pacing and sound stay put, and only the people on screen change.
- A Recast, Not a RegenerationNot a single frame of the take is rebuilt. H3 Recast keeps everything the footage already gets right and re-casts only the person standing in it.
- Up to Four New Faces, Left to RightHand over as many as four portraits and each one takes over a leading figure in every shot that person appears in, holding the same identity across edit points.
- Acting, Cuts and Audio Come AlongEvery glance, gesture and beat of the performance survives the swap, along with the lighting as it falls and the finished audio mix.
How H3 Recast Works in Three Steps
From a finished clip to a fresh cast in three short steps with H3 Recast.
What H3 Recast Brings to the Timeline
See what H3 Recast carries over, what it replaces, and how to preserve the original look when the wardrobe and hair have to stay.
One Face, Tracked Through Every Cut
Each portrait keeps taking over the same individual in every shot that person turns up in, so the casting holds steady as the edit moves between cuts.
Change the Cast Order With a Prompt
Pairing runs left to right by default; a brief prompt naming each on-screen figure and its photo overrides that assignment.
Face-Only Swap on Request
With an empty prompt the portrait's styling may come along too; ask for the face alone when the captured hair and wardrobe must stay.
768p Preview Before the 1080p Final
A quick preview render settles whether the cast reads right before credits go toward the full-resolution finish.
Output Length Mirrors the Source
Length in equals length out, which ties spend to how long the clip actually runs rather than to an arbitrary setting.
Pacing and Sound Left Untouched
The edit's rhythm and its audio come through unchanged, so the new version drops straight back into the timeline.
H3 Recast: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what people ask most about recasting the cast of a finished clip with H3 Recast.
How long can the source clip be?
Anywhere from five to thirty seconds, with no individual shot past fifteen seconds. Split longer takes first — output mirrors input length.
How many people can I recast at once, and in what order?
Four at most, one portrait each. Leading figures are taken over left to right by default, and a prompt can change that pairing.
Which reference photos give the best results?
One sharp, evenly lit, front-facing portrait per person. Skip sunglasses, hats, hidden faces, group shots, blurry files and heavy filters.
Will the new photo change hair and clothes as well?
Often yes when no prompt is given, even from a head crop. Ask for the face only if the original hair and wardrobe must stay.
Should I preview at 768p or render at 1080p?
Preview at 768p to validate the cast, then finish at 1080p — pricing follows clip length.
When is H3 Recast the wrong tool?
When new movement, camera work or a new setting is needed. Crowds, tiny faces, fast action and occlusion break it, and likeness can drift in long shots.
