Replicate viral videos with a Codex skill: swap faces and outfits in one prompt
songguoxiansen · x · 2026-09-17
A replicable workflow for remixing short videos inside Codex: install a community skill called hypit, upload the reference video, and run a prompt like $hypit replicate this video, replace the person with a different woman to get a first draft, then iterate.
The character swap leverages Codex's built-in image generation to change the face and clothing in the original clip. The author says they used this to successfully replicate a video and post it to Douyin, expecting it to go viral.
