{"version":"1.0","guide":"https://www.made.app/guides/replace-person-in-video","verifiedAt":"2026-11-12","scope":"This is a real Recast Pro run from November 12, 2026. The clip is Theo, an AI-generated man from Lip Sync Studio’s preset faces, not a real person, talking at a podcast desk for 8 seconds with his own sound. It went in as an uploaded clip, not a Motion Library trend. The photo is Lucien, a man Made generated for its AI Influencer examples, and the prompt is the one typed under Options → Prompt, shown below. The request is exactly what Recast builds for that clip, photo and prompt at 480p, sent through Made’s API from a script rather than clicked through the browser. Lucien replaces Theo in every frame: the copper bowl cut, a curled moustache where the beard was, the mint plaid suit and bow tie. The hand gesture, the head moves and the mouth shapes land on the same frames, and the original sound is kept unchanged. His headphones and watch were part of his outfit, which now comes from the photo, so they’re gone. At 480p the face looks soft at full size. It’s one run, not a measure of how often a recast holds.","provenance":"Made-generated demonstration.
