How to swap an object in a videoWhat you can swapWhat people use object swap forObject swap vs Higgsfield GenjutsuFrequently asked questionsObject swap changes one thing in a video and leaves everything else alone: the product in someone's hand, the jacket they wear, the logo on a cup, even a character.

How to swap an object in a video
Upload a short clip
A 3–10 second shot where the object is clearly visible.
Describe the swap
Name what to replace and what with, and say what must stay: "Replace the mug in her hand with a white skincare bottle; keep her face and the room unchanged."
Generate
The editor re-renders the clip with the change.
Refine the wording
If something else changed, add it to the "keep unchanged" part of the description and try again.

Object swap vs Higgsfield Genjutsu
Higgsfield's Genjutsu has an Object Swap mode for clips of up to 30 seconds, guided by reference images and presets. Rekreate's editor is prompt-first and works on 3–10 second clips, which covers most hooks, b-roll and ad shots. See Rekreate vs Higgsfield Genjutsu for the full comparison, and the Gemini Omni guide for the model behind the editor.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI replace an object in a video?
Yes. Describe what to replace and with what, and the editor re-renders the clip with the change while keeping the rest of the shot.
How long can the clip be?
Between 3 and 10 seconds, which matches how Gemini Omni processes edits.
Do I need masks or keyframes?
No. The change is described in text.
Will the rest of the video change?
The editor is instructed to keep everything you do not ask to change. If something drifts, name it explicitly as "keep unchanged" in the description.
Can I swap a person or character?
Yes, describe the replacement. Animated and illustrated clips keep their original art style.
Does it change the sound?
Audio is left as it is unless you ask for a change.
Is it free?
The AI video editor requires a Rekreate account.
How is this different from Higgsfield Genjutsu Object Swap?
Genjutsu accepts longer clips (up to 30 seconds) and many reference images. Rekreate's editor works from a text description on 3–10 second clips. See the comparison.
