One Click Videos · AI Character Swap
Find a scene.
Swap the star.
Make it yours.
Bring your character into a video that already inspires you. Search for a source video or paste its link, then replace its character with one you upload or design.
A source video. Your chosen character. A fresh creative direction.
Give the scene a different star.
From source clip to fresh interpretation
A different character.
A new way to tell it.
Character Swap gives you a concrete creative starting point: an existing video. Choose the source, choose who should appear in it, and review the generated result.
Find your source video.
Search for a video or paste its link. Look for a scene with an action, composition or mood that suits your idea. An owned brand clip, a licensed performance or an original scene can give you a useful place to begin.
Choose the new character.
Upload a character reference or design a character for the role. Use your own likeness, an authorized spokesperson or an original fictional personality. Make the character’s defining appearance easy to understand.
Generate, watch and refine.
Create the swap and review how your character appears throughout the clip. Check the identity, movement and overall scene. Refine the input or creative direction when the first interpretation needs another pass.
The source is a starting point for generation. Appearance, movement and scene details can vary with the inputs and selected model; review the finished result before sharing it.
Two ingredients. One clear idea.
Choose the scene.
Then cast the role.
The video tells you what the scene feels like. The character gives the audience someone new to follow.
Perhaps the source is a confident walk toward the camera, a simple product reveal or an expressive reaction. Character Swap lets you explore how that scene could work with your founder, your own digital likeness or a completely original character.
Start with a clear creative goal. Decide what matters most about the source and what you want the replacement character to communicate. A focused idea is easier to judge than a request to change everything at once.
Give your business a starring role
A familiar scene.
Your brand’s personality.
Use an original or licensed source clip to explore new on-screen talent and campaign ideas. These are creative concepts; the video examples will be added here.

Founder & personal-brand content
Turn a staged introduction or confident entrance into a concept featuring your own likeness. Use it as the opening to a founder story, launch announcement or personal-brand video.
Creative brief“Use our studio entrance clip and replace the performer with my uploaded likeness. The direction is a warm, confident introduction to our company.”
Coming soon
Spokesperson concepts
Explore how a scene feels with different authorized spokespeople or original presenters. Compare the character’s look and energy while keeping the source clip as the shared creative reference.

Coming soon
Brand characters & mascots

Creative brief“Use this simple greeting clip as the starting point. Replace its character with our uploaded mascot and explore a playful, welcoming interpretation.”
Choose the right starting point
Have a clip?
Start with a swap.
Character Swap and AI cloning can support the same creative vision, but they begin with different ingredients.
Character Swap starts with a video.
Choose an existing source video, then provide or design the replacement character. It is useful when a particular performance, scene or visual idea has already caught your attention.
A digital twin starts with your identity.
Create a reusable version of your likeness and voice, then build new scenes and scripts around it. It is useful when you want your digital self to lead an original story or presentation.
A visual character replacement does not by itself mean the voice has been cloned or the dialogue rewritten. Plan the visual role and audio direction separately. Explore AI Clones, Digital Twins & Deepfakes →
Make the idea relevant to your audience
One creative tool.
Many useful roles.
The strongest use case starts with a message your audience cares about. Use Character Swap to develop a character-led opening, visual demonstration or memorable moment around that message.
Retail & ecommerce
Explore a branded host for an unboxing, a product reveal or a seasonal collection introduction. Build a recognizable opening for product stories, new arrivals and special offers.
Real estate
Develop an agent-led introduction or a fictional host for a neighborhood story. Give property tours, neighborhood highlights and market updates a consistent on-screen personality.
Automotive
Try a memorable presenter for a vehicle reveal or a character-led opening to a dealership story. Use the character moment to introduce a model, a team member or a reason to visit the showroom.
Restaurants & hospitality
Recast a greeting, invitation or playful reaction with your own host or original mascot. Build a recognizable introduction to food, a destination or the guest experience.
Fitness & wellness
Explore an energetic host or an original character for a motivational scene. Give a challenge, a class introduction or a personal progress story a distinctive opening.
Professional services
Make an abstract topic more approachable with a consistent presenter or a visual metaphor. Use the scene to introduce a useful explanation of what your service does.
Events & entertainment
Create a character-led teaser, a themed invitation or an opening reveal. Give each event a distinctive personality and a visual invitation people will remember.
Nonprofits & community groups
Use an original guide or an authorized representative to introduce a cause or campaign. Build an approachable opening for volunteer invitations, fundraising stories and community updates.
Recruiting & employer branding
Explore an approved team spokesperson or fictional guide for a welcome scene. Introduce the team, bring company values into a story or welcome people to the next step.
Give the role a point of view
Make the character
feel intentional.
A distinctive character has more than a face. Its silhouette, wardrobe, expression and overall style help the audience understand the role at a glance.
A recognizable human character
Use clear references for the person you want to feature. Describe the role and desired impression: a welcoming founder, a practical guide or an energetic host.
An original fictional personality
Design a character around the story. A curious explorer, an earnest robot or a whimsical shopkeeper can give a familiar scene an entirely different personality.
A style that suits the scene
Explore realistic, illustrated or stylized creative directions as supported by the selected model. Keep your references coherent so the character’s essential features are easy to interpret.
A useful comparison
Try one meaningful change at a time, such as the character design or wardrobe direction. Compare results against the same goal instead of changing the entire brief with every version.
Turn a reference into a new possibility
Recast the moment.
Reimagine the story.
A different character can change a scene’s humor, emotion or point of view. Start with simple actions and explore creative interpretations of your own or licensed material.
Coming soon
Fictional adventures
Put an original character at the center of an adventurous entrance or discovery. A grounded source performance can provide a useful reference for imagining a very different protagonist.
Creative brief“Use our exploration clip and replace its lead with an original robot explorer. Aim for curiosity and a strong sense of discovery.”
Coming soon
Comedy & reaction scenes
Explore how a reaction reads when performed by a different character. An expressive pause, a delighted reveal or an exaggerated look can become the start of a short visual joke.
Creative brief“Use this staged surprise-reaction clip. Replace the performer with my original, very serious fictional detective for a playful contrast.”
Coming soon
Performance & music concepts
Try a new visual identity in an owned performance clip. Use the result to explore a stage persona or a visual concept, then review motion, anatomy and timing before selecting a final version.
Creative brief“Use our short performance clip and replace its lead with the uploaded original stage character. Keep the creative direction energetic and expressive.”
For creators, teams and agencies
Explore the casting.
Keep the brief focused.
Character Swap can help you compare creative directions before committing to a wider campaign.
Use a common source scene to explore an authorized spokesperson, an original host or a brand character. Give every version the same communication goal so the review is about the creative choice you are testing.
For client work, agree on the source footage, character references and intended use first. Name your versions clearly and bring the strongest interpretation into the rest of the content workflow.
A practical review sequence.
- Define the job. Choose one message, audience and intended placement.
- Set the references. Pick the source scene and replacement character.
- Explore a small set. Compare distinct character directions without changing every ingredient.
- Select and finish. Review the result, refine the chosen approach and prepare the final video.
Keep a short note on why each version works: the first impression, the character’s fit with the brand and how clearly it supports the message.
Give the generation a clear starting point
Clear references.
A stronger creative brief.
Choose a source that makes the intended role easy to see. Then provide a character reference with enough detail to guide the replacement.
Coming soon
Start simple, then expand.
A short, clear scene is a useful first experiment. Look for a visible main character, readable movement and lighting that lets you judge the result. Busy crowds, rapid cuts and heavily obscured subjects can make the result harder to evaluate.
For uploaded characters, use sharp references with a consistent appearance. For a designed character, describe the defining features, clothing and style without giving conflicting directions.
Choose an accessible video link and check the source options shown in the workflow. A well-chosen clip makes it easier to focus your next revision on the character itself.
Watch the whole clip
The details make
the character believable.
Once the new character is in the scene, watch it from beginning to end. A quick quality pass helps you choose what to refine next.
Identity and continuity
Check whether the character remains recognizable across the clip. Look at the face, clothing, proportions and transitions between poses or viewpoints.
Motion and interaction
Watch hands, body movement, contact with objects and interactions with the environment. Review fast movement and moments when the subject turns or becomes partly hidden.
Audio and message
Listen to the full soundtrack and review any spoken content. Character Swap is a visual workflow; confirm the audio separately instead of assuming a new voice or script comes with the replacement.
Final format and presentation
Check the crop, captions, visible text and ending. One Click Videos offers broader tools for voices, music, captions and publishing; the available combinations depend on the chosen workflow.
A character people can follow
Make the explanation
more memorable.
A familiar host or an original guide can make a video feel more approachable. Use a simple source scene to develop the presenter or character moment, then build the explanation around it.
Coming soon
Lessons & explainers
Explore a recurring guide for a lesson introduction or a visual explanation. Choose a character that matches the audience and helps frame the topic without distracting from the information.
Creative brief“Use our classroom-introduction clip and replace the presenter with an original curious science guide. Make the character welcoming and easy to recognize.”
Coming soon
Welcome & onboarding
Recast a greeting with an authorized representative or an original brand guide. Use the character moment to open a customer welcome, member introduction or internal training video.
Creative brief“Use our welcome scene and replace its host with the uploaded, authorized team spokesperson. Aim for a friendly first impression.”
Coming soon
Story-based learning
Use an original character in a staged scenario to introduce a problem or illustrate a concept. The scene can set up a discussion, a training point or a helpful next step.
Creative brief“Use our staged problem-solving scene and replace the lead with an original animated-style guide. Keep the creative focus on curiosity and the moment of discovery.”
Bring a clear idea to the workflow
A good brief
starts with the role.
Explain the source, the replacement character and the reason for the swap. Keep the description specific enough to help you judge the result.
You can use Ava to develop the surrounding story, script and creative direction. Keep the swap request focused on the character, then plan additional scenes, narration and finishing as appropriate for your project.
Save the references and notes that define your character so you can return to the same creative direction. Build related content around the chosen identity rather than starting the casting conversation over each time.
Questions, answered
Before you recast
the scene.
A few practical answers about source videos, character references, creative possibilities and what to review.
What is AI Character Swap?
Character Swap uses an existing source video as the starting point for replacing its character with another character. In One Click Videos, you can search for a source video or paste its link, then use a character you upload or design.
How do I choose the source video?
Search for a source video or paste a video link in the Character Swap workflow. Choose a clip whose main character and action are easy to understand. The source must be accessible and supported; availability can vary by source, format and workflow.
Can I use my own character?
Yes. Upload a character reference or design an original character for the role. Use clear, consistent visual references and describe the defining appearance you want the result to follow.
Can the replacement character be me?
You can use your own likeness as the character reference. If you also want a reusable digital likeness and cloned voice for new scripts and scenes, explore AI Clones, Digital Twins & Deepfakes.
Can I try fictional characters or a brand mascot?
Original fictional characters and mascots are useful creative directions to explore. The result depends on the source scene, character reference and selected model. A clear, distinctive design is a helpful starting point.
Does Character Swap automatically change the voice?
Do not assume that replacing a visual character also clones a voice, rewrites dialogue or changes the soundtrack. One Click Videos has separate voice and audio capabilities. Plan and review those elements as part of the broader video workflow.
Will the source scene stay exactly the same?
The source guides the scene, but generation can change visual details, motion and the character’s appearance. Treat the output as a generated interpretation and review the full clip rather than expecting a pixel-for-pixel replacement.
Can I swap several people in a crowded video?
The clearest starting point is a scene with one identifiable main character. Multi-person shots and crowded scenes need closer review. Check the controls available in the current workflow before planning a project around multiple simultaneous replacements.
What makes a good source and character reference?
Use a source with a visible subject, readable movement and enough clarity to evaluate the result. For the replacement, provide sharp images with a consistent appearance or a focused design description. Start with a simpler scene before moving to more complex actions.
Can I use Character Swap for commercial content?
Business concepts include spokesperson introductions, product reveals, brand characters and campaign variations. Use source footage and character likenesses you own or have permission to use, and review any product details, claims and licensing terms that apply to your project.
How is this different from making a new AI video?
Character Swap begins with an existing video and changes who appears in it. Creating a new AI video begins with a fresh brief, script, images or other inputs. Choose the workflow that best fits whether your starting point is an existing scene or a new story.
Can I use it for recurring content?
You can develop a recurring character direction and reuse the relevant references across projects. For broader recurring creation and publishing workflows, explore Autonomous Series and Autonomous Ads. Character Swap and those automation workflows are distinct tools.
What lengths, formats and plans are available?
Supported lengths, formats, model options and credit use depend on the selected workflow. Check the options in the app for your source clip, and visit the pricing page for current plans. Use the Character Swap options shown in the app to plan the length and format of your project.
How do I get started?
Start a Free Trial, open the Character Swap workflow, and choose a source video by search or link. Upload or design the replacement character, generate a result and review it before sharing. Start with one simple scene and one clear creative goal.
