Take footage further · Recast

Keep the take.
Change who's in it.

Footage you already shot, recast. Lock the camera move and the timing and swap the cast — or replace what was filmed entirely.

Open Recast A reshoot costs a day and a crew. A recast costs a render.

The edit survives. The casting doesn't have to.

Drop the clip you already cut. Choose Keep the motion or Swap what's filmed, pick the new cast from your vault, and the approved timing stays frame for frame.

What a recast is for

The cut you approved still works. Only who is in it — or what was filmed — has to change.

Keep the motion

The presenter left

Same launch video, new face on camera. Nobody re-learns the script.

Localise the cast

One cut, five markets, five faces. The move never changes.

Old footage, your face. The dolly still lands on the beat.

New product, old cut

Same beats, same pacing, this season's product.

Lock. Swap. Render.

Camera move and timing stay frame for frame. Only the people change — unless you ask for more.

Drop the clip you already cut. Recast reads the camera move, the cut points and the timing, and locks them — that is the part that survives.

Two modes

Keep the motion,
or swap the take.

Keep the motion holds the camera and the timing and changes the people. Swap what's filmed uses the original as the brief and shoots a new take to the same beats.

The original is the motion track. The new cast is fitted to it — their walk lands on the same marks, their turn hits the same frame.

Cast from
the vault.

Your twin, a saved character, or a person who recorded consent. The recast reads the original's framing and puts them exactly where the first cast stood.

1
Drop the clip
The cut you already have — with the client's sign-off on it. Recast locks the camera and the timing on import.
2
Pick who stands there
From the vault. The recast reads where the original cast stood and places the new one on the same marks.
3
Compare, then approve
A wipe between original and recast, every frame. Run it again with a different face for nothing but another render.

A render,
not a reshoot.

Three things a recast keeps that a reshoot would lose.

The timing

Every cut lands where it did. The dolly reaches the face on the same frame. Approved is still approved.

The camera

Move, lens and framing are read from the original and reproduced — not re-imagined.

The cost

A reshoot is a day, a crew and a location. A recast is a render you can run twice before lunch.

The edit survives.
