MiniMax H3 Max Recast: change who's in your video
MiniMax H3 Max Recast swaps the people in a source video for the people in your reference photos, while the motion, camera work, cuts, and soundtrack stay exactly as filmed. Available now in Picsart's AI Playground.
What is MiniMax H3 Max Recast? A new cast for existing footage
MiniMax H3 Max Recast is the H3 Max model that edits video instead of generating it. It starts from footage you already have: give it a video and reference photos, and it replaces the people on screen while the performance carries over as filmed, from movement and gestures to framing and timing. The shot you planned stays the shot you get, with a different cast.

- Motion and cuts stay as filmed

One source video, up to four reference photos
Upload footage between 5 and 30 seconds and add one clear photo per person you want on screen, up to four in a single pass. Recast tracks each person across the clip, including edits with several shots, and an optional prompt settles who becomes whom and which details to keep or change. That is the whole input: no masks, no manual cleanup.

Recast output: 768p or 1080p with the original soundtrack
Render the recast at 768p or 1080p. The original audio passes through untouched, so dialogue and music land on the same frames they always did, and shot timing holds across every cut. What changes is the cast; the edit you locked survives the swap.
