Magejutsu recasts a video you already have. Bring a clip and photos of who or what should be in it, and it rebuilds the cast or swaps one thing while the motion, camera, cuts, timing, and sound stay as filmed. A director model watches your clip first and writes the edit, so you can start without a prompt.

Overview

What Magejutsu is for

  • Putting yourself, a saved character, or a client into an existing clip
  • Music videos, dance trends, ads, and short films where the performance already exists
  • Changing an outfit, a product, or a location without reshooting
  • Replacing Motion Control, which Magejutsu supersedes

Modes

How to use Magejutsu

1

Add a source video

Upload a clip of 4 to 30 seconds (4 to 15 on Lite and Feather), pick one of your creations, or press Remix on a clip in the motion library.
2

Add references

Add up to 30 images: characters, outfits, props, and places. Upload photos, or choose From your creations, From your characters, or From your references in the reference picker.
3

Add directions, or don't

Directions are off by default, and the director decides who goes where. Turn them on to say what changes, mentioning references as @image1 or, for a Character you added in the picker, its @handle.
4

Generate

The recast keeps the clip’s length, aspect ratio, cuts, and sound. It lands in History, ready to download, share, or remix.

Which model to pick

See the Magejutsu model page for what each model supports.

Tips

  • One clear, front-lit photo per person is enough. Map each reference to its subject by position, such as “image 1 is the person on the left”.
  • A clip with a clearly visible subject and steady framing recasts best.
  • Remixing a Magejutsu creation reuses its motion and settings, never its reference images.

Limitations

  • A source clip is required. Magejutsu edits footage; it does not invent it.
  • The price follows the clip’s length and the resolution you pick, and it is paid in Gems on every plan.
  • You need permission for the footage and for any likeness in it, as with every face-editing tool on Mage. See likeness and reports.
