Video character swap trick: edit the first frame with image AI, then generate
cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-09-12
Developer cocktailpeanut shows a generated-vs-original video comparison and shares two workflows for putting any character into a video:
- Simply upload any character image and generate — quick but less precise.
- Recommended: take the video's first frame, swap the character using an image generation service like ChatGPT, then upload the edited first frame to the video model for generation, yielding much better character consistency.
A practical first-frame-editing combo for controlling character identity in AI video generation.
