What is Genjutsu outfit swap?
Genjutsu outfit swap changes the clothing in footage you already own while preserving the performer, body movement, camera and timing. You upload a 3 to 30 second clip, attach reference images of the replacement garment, and write one instruction that changes the outfit without regenerating the performance.
The job is built for fashion variants, ecommerce campaigns and wardrobe corrections. It is not a virtual fitting room based on measurements: the source clip still carries the model, pose and fit. The reference decides the colour, fabric, silhouette and visible details of the new outfit.
How is outfit swap different from object swap?
Outfit swap is a specific use of the site’s two Genjutsu workflows. Use Object Swap when the garment is one contained element and the rest of the frame should survive. Use Motion Transfer when the wardrobe change also requires a new body, location or complete visual rebuild.
Object Swap is usually the cleaner first attempt for a jacket, dress, T-shirt or pair of shoes. It changes one element and keeps the background, face, hands and lighting. If the subject’s identity must also change, treat the shot as a character recast rather than a clothing edit.
- Object Swap: one garment or accessory changes; the original person and scene remain.
- Motion Transfer: a new cast, wardrobe and location are rebuilt together from several references.
- Character Swap: the performer is replaced and the outfit may change with the new identity.
What footage works best for outfit swap?
A short, steady shot with one clearly visible person produces the most reliable outfit swap. The garment should be unobstructed for the moment you care about, hands should not constantly cross the fabric, and the light should reveal folds, edges and material rather than flattening them into shadow.
A single camera angle beats a cut sequence. Trim around the cleanest four to eight seconds and use that section as the reusable fashion take. Vertical 9:16, square and wide formats can all work, but the source framing should match the channel you plan to publish in.
- Keep the full garment visible for most of the clip and avoid heavy motion blur.
- Use even lighting on the face and clothing; hard backlight hides the garment silhouette.
- Avoid multiple people in similar outfits unless their screen positions are clearly separated.
- Upload three to six references: front, back, side, fabric detail and any repeating pattern.
How do you write a reliable outfit swap prompt?
A reliable prompt names the person, the replacement garment and what must stay unchanged. Keep the instruction to one wardrobe change per run. Adding a new location, face and outfit in the same sentence gives the model three jobs to solve at once and makes every error harder to diagnose.
Describe visible properties rather than marketing language. “Matte olive technical jacket with a high collar and silver chest seam” gives the model more usable information than “premium adventure style.” If the reference already shows the detail, repeat only the details that must survive.
Single garment swapReplace the black jacket with the ivory cropped jacket from the reference. Keep the model, face, hands, pose, camera, lighting and background unchanged.
Colourway variantChange only the jacket colour and material to the lime technical fabric in the reference. Preserve the original cut, seams, movement and all other clothing.
Wardrobe correctionReplace the visible crew-neck shirt with the collared shirt in the reference. Keep the same neck position, shoulders, skin tone and motion.
How does an ecommerce outfit swap workflow work?
Start with one approved hero clip and treat it as the master performance. Build a separate reference set for every SKU, colourway or capsule look. Run one variant at a time, compare the garment edges, logos and body fit, then record which reference set produced the approved result.
This saves a second shoot only when the source footage already shows the right action and body. The output is a creative variant, not photographic proof that a product fits every customer. Keep real product photography and clear sizing information in the shopping experience.
- 1. Approve a 3 to 30 second hero take with one person and one camera angle.
- 2. Prepare clean front, detail and fabric references for each garment.
- 3. Run one colourway per render with an explicit invariant list.
- 4. Review necklines, cuffs, belt position and pattern scale at full size.
- 5. Export approved variants and keep the reference set attached to each final clip.
Why do patterns, logos and accessories drift?
Fine text, small logos, zippers and high-contrast patterns are the first details to drift because they occupy very few pixels and change shape as fabric moves. Transparent fabric, reflective leather and loose straps are also difficult because their edges and highlights change from frame to frame.
Fix the reference before increasing prompt length. Add a sharp close-up of the pattern, simplify the motion window, or keep small text off the generated garment and add it later in editing. If a necklace and jacket both need to change, split the work into separate passes.
- Pattern scale changes: add a flat fabric reference and keep the source camera closer.
- Edges melt into skin: increase contrast at the neckline, cuffs or shoulder outline.
- Accessories appear and disappear: remove them from the source clip or make them a separate pass.
- The outfit changes identity: reduce the motion range and use references from the same angle as the source.
Can you keep the same model across every outfit?
Yes, if the source performance stays fixed and only the wardrobe references change. Reuse the exact same clip, keep the subject’s face and hair unobstructed, and preserve a consistent reference angle. That gives the model a stable identity and leaves the garment as the variable.
A separate output does not guarantee pixel-identical identity across severe turns or partial occlusion. For a campaign series, choose a take with a readable face, stable camera and limited profile changes, then review every variant as a set rather than one clip at a time.
Is outfit swap suitable for commercial work?
Commercial use depends on both the generated output and the rights attached to the source footage, garment designs, logos and likenesses. Use footage and references you are licensed to use, keep permission for every model, and do not upload a brand asset you have no right to reproduce.
An active plan on this site includes watermark-free downloads, subject to the terms of use. Treat trademark-heavy garments, celebrity looks and third-party campaign footage as rights-sensitive even when the file is technically accepted by the generator.
Key takeaways
- Outfit swap changes clothing in existing footage instead of animating a still image.
- Object Swap is best for one contained garment; Motion Transfer is better for a complete recast.
- Use one clean person, one camera angle and three to six focused garment references.
- Name one change and list what must remain: face, pose, hands, lighting and background.
- Run one SKU or colourway per render so failures stay traceable.
