Lockstep video recast beats rivals at 3.3x lower cost in hands-on test
alifcoder · x · 2026-11-03
alifcoder tested three video character-swap models from EachLabs — MiniMax, Genjutsu and Lockstep — and found Lockstep delivers the best quality at 3.3x lower cost.
How Lockstep works: feed it a reference video plus one photo per character, and it swaps the people while keeping motion, lip sync and camera moves frame-for-frame identical. Identity (face, hair, skin tone, outfit) holds from first to last frame. Use cases include swapping leads in ads per market, audience or season from just five cast photos.
