PixVerse Swap
PixVerse Swap replaces a subject or object in an existing video with a reference image. Provide a video and the new image, and Swap automatically targets the primary detected subject (face, body, or object). v1 caveat: the first detected subject (mask_info[0]) is auto-picked. Up to 720p; the source video codec must be h.264 or h.265.

Overview
PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video Overview
PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video is a specialized video-to-video AI model from Pixverse that enables seamless replacement of subjects or objects in existing videos using a reference image. Users upload a source video and a new image, and the model automatically detects and swaps the primary subject—such as a face, body, or object—while preserving motion and scene coherence. This stands out by auto-targeting the first detected subject (mask_info) for precise, effortless editing without manual masking.
Developed by Pixverse, known for advanced models like V6 and C1 with cinematic transitions and native audio, PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video extends their video-to-video capabilities to practical object manipulation. Available via the PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video API on platforms like each::labs, it supports up to 720p resolutions and requires H.264 or H.265 source codecs, making it ideal for quick video repurposing in content creation workflows.

Use cases
Use Cases for PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video
Content Creators: Replace actors in footage for personalized videos. Example: Upload a walking clip and celebrity photo; prompt "swap face with reference, keep gait." Ideal for fan edits or demos.
Marketers: Swap products in promotional videos. Example: Change a bottle in a commercial with "replace soda can with energy drink, match pour motion," leveraging object detection for brand swaps.
Designers: Prototype visuals by swapping elements in mockups. Example: "Object swap chair with modern sofa in room tour," using motion preservation for client previews.
Developers: Build apps with PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video API on each::labs. Example: Integrate for real-time avatar swaps in video calls, auto-targeting faces for consistency.
Tips & tricks
Tips and Tricks
For best results with PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video, use high-contrast reference images with clear subject outlines to improve detection accuracy. Pre-crop your source video to feature the target subject prominently, as v1 prioritizes mask_info. Add descriptive prompts like "replace the car with a motorcycle, maintain speed and lighting" to guide motion consistency.
Optimize workflows by testing at lower resolutions first, then upscale. Combine with Pixverse video-to-video enhancements for refined physics. Example prompts:
- "Swap the person's face with reference image, keep walking motion natural."
- "Replace the bottle on table with a vase, match camera pan."
- "Object swap dog with cat in park scene, preserve fur dynamics."
These techniques, informed by Pixverse model behaviors, maximize swap precision on each::labs.

Things to be aware of
Things to Be Aware Of
PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video may struggle in crowded scenes where the primary subject isn't mask_info, leading to incorrect swaps—pre-edit videos to focus targets. Complex motions like fast rotations can cause minor artifacts in swapped elements. Users often overlook codec requirements, causing upload failures; always verify H.264/H.265.
Edge cases include low-light videos or heavily occluded objects, reducing detection accuracy. Resource needs are modest, but longer clips increase processing time on each::labs.
Key considerations
Key Considerations
Before using PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video, ensure your source video uses H.264 or H.265 codecs to avoid compatibility issues. The model auto-selects the first detected subject, so complex scenes with multiple objects may require pre-editing the video to isolate the target. It's best for scenarios needing quick subject replacement over full scene generation, offering faster results than text-to-video alternatives.
Performance scales with video length and resolution—stick to shorter clips under 15 seconds for optimal quality. On each::labs, leverage the PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video API for batch processing, balancing cost with high-fidelity swaps in marketing or personal projects.
Limitations
Limitations
PixVerse | Swap | Object Swap in Video is capped at 720p and auto-picks the first detected subject in v1, limiting flexibility in multi-object scenes. It cannot handle non-H.264/H.265 inputs or generate new motions beyond source preservation. Quality drops in extreme angles or poor reference images, and no native audio swap is supported.
