Magejutsu: recast any video on Mage

Magejutsu edits a video instead of generating one. Give it a clip you already have and photos of who or what should be in it, and it rebuilds the cast and the scene while the performances, camera moves and timing stay as filmed. A director model watches your clip first and writes the edit for you.

Overview

Detail
Type	Video
Origin	Mage model, available only on Mage
Models	Magejutsu, Magejutsu Lite, Magejutsu Feather
Availability	Gems on every plan

What it supports on Mage

Feature	Support
Source video	Required, 4 to 30 seconds (15 on Lite and Feather)
Reference images	Yes, up to 30
Characters and References	Yes, by `@handle`
Output length	Follows the source
Output aspect ratio	Follows the source
Audio on the output	The source’s own audio, restored after the render

Directions	Optional

Best for

Putting yourself, a character, or a client into an existing clip
Changing a location, outfit, or product without reshooting
Keeping a real performance, dance, or camera move intact
Restyling footage you already own

An example prompt to start from

Replace the dancer with image 1, keeping the choreography, the camera move and the timing exactly as filmed.

Map each reference to its subject by position: “image 1 is the person on the left”. One clear, front-lit photo per person is enough, and you can send up to 30 references: characters, outfits, props and places.

Models

Model	Best for
Magejutsu	The best recasts: sources up to 30 seconds, and the most references reach the render
Magejutsu Lite	Faster and cheaper: sources up to 15 seconds, and up to 9 references reach the render
Magejutsu Feather	The cheapest and fastest: motion transfer only, 480p or 720p, sources up to 15 seconds, and up to 8 references reach the render

Modes

Mode	What it does
Motion transfer	Keeps the motion, camera, cuts and timing, and rebuilds who performs it (and the place, if you send one)
Object swap	Changes only what your references point at and keeps every other part of the shot as filmed

Magejutsu prepares the source for the mode itself; there is nothing else to set. Directions are optional: without them, the director maps your references to the clip on its own.

Limitations

Sources run 4 to 30 seconds, and the result matches the source length and shape.
It edits footage rather than inventing it, so a source clip is required.
The result is billed in Gems on every plan.
