What MiniMax face swap changes — and what it leaves alone
A recasting pass rather than a fresh render: head turns, lens movement, edit points and the soundtrack survive, while only the faces come from your photos.
- It swaps the cast; it does not regenerateThe motion and the edit are left completely alone — the tool re-casts footage you already own, so the result drops straight back into the original timeline.
- Identities matched left to right, prompts can overrideGive one portrait per newcomer; they line up left to right in every shot and hold through cuts, and a short prompt can reassign the pairing.
- Your source clip supplies the performanceEvery head turn, every gesture beat, the set lighting and the lens drift are carried over; only the faces and outfits are drawn from the photos you supply.
How a MiniMax face swap runs, step by step
Three moves take a locked take to a brand-new cast, and the clip keeps the length and the audio it arrived with.
What MiniMax face swap handles well
Made for footage that is already right apart from who is in it: the motion, the edit rhythm and the audio are preserved while the people are replaced.
Up to four faces, matched left to right
You can supply four photos at most, one per performer, and each takes over a main role in every shot they appear in; the prompt can reverse the order.
The acting stays; the faces do not
Gestures still land on the same beat, the light falls exactly as it did, the camera drifts as before — faces and outfits are the only new ingredients.
Edit points and mix come along
Because the cut pattern and the audio mix are inherited, the result can slide into a locked edit with no re-timing and no re-recording.
Draft at 768p, deliver at 1080p
Check at 768p whether the likeness holds up, then commit to the 1080p render; the output matches the source length, so cost follows duration.
What a good reference photo looks like
Go for a sharp, evenly lit, front-facing portrait; a half-body frame carries hair and clothing better than a tight headshot. Avoid sunglasses, hats and group photos.
Where the swap holds, where it slips
Expect weak spots in crowds, distant faces, fast action and anything occluded after a hard cut; in wide shots or profile turns the likeness can drift back toward the original performer.
MiniMax face swap: questions answered
Answers on clip length, casting order, reference photos and the shots where a MiniMax face swap holds up — and where it does not.
What does MiniMax face swap actually change?
It inserts the people from your photos into footage you already have while the source motion, camera work, cuts and audio stay put — a casting change applied to a locked clip.
How long can the source clip be?
Between 5 and 30 seconds, and no single shot beyond 15 seconds. Cut longer material first; what comes back is exactly as long as what you sent.
How many faces can I replace, and in what order?
Four at most, one photo per person. Photos take the main roles left to right by default; a line such as 'the woman on the right becomes person 1' reverses that.
Which reference photos give the best result?
Sharp, evenly lit, front-facing portraits, ideally half-body so hair and clothing carry over. Avoid sunglasses, hats, hands across the face, group shots and heavily filtered pictures.
Should I preview at 768p or go straight to 1080p?
Run a quick 768p pass to confirm the casting reads correctly, then render at 1080p once it does; pricing tracks clip duration.
When is this the wrong tool?
Not when you need new motion, different camera moves or another location — the source clip decides those. Crowds, distant faces and fast action after hard cuts are also weak spots.
