Openjutsu Object Swap API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Genjutsu-style object swap: change hair, clothes or the whole background in a video by naming it, keeping the rest of the shot and the original audio.
Features
Genjutsu Object Swap (OpenJutsu) changes one thing in a video by naming it: hair, a jacket, a car, or the whole background. Only that area is regenerated; the rest of the shot, the camera movement, the performance and the original audio are kept.
Why Choose This?
-
Name it, change it Say what to change (
hair,jacket,car) and what it becomes (“short bright pink hair”). Everything else in the shot stays as filmed. -
Copy a look from a picture Give a picture of an outfit, a hairstyle, a product or a place and the video takes on its look. The shape and movement of the original are followed.
-
New background, same person With
backgroundmode the person stays and the setting around them changes: a beach, a studio, a rainy street. -
Original audio kept The soundtrack of the source video is carried over to the result.
-
Up to 15 seconds The result follows the length of your video, up to 15 seconds. Longer videos use their first 15 seconds.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| video | Yes | URL of the source video, at least 2 seconds. Use a single continuous shot. |
| target | Yes | What to change, in a word or two as it looks in the video: hair, jacket, car. Separate several with commas (hair, top). With background mode, what stays (person). |
| mode | No | change (default): the target becomes what you describe or show. background: the target stays and everything around it changes. |
| change_to | No | What it becomes, for example short bright pink hair. With background mode, the new place. Required unless image is given. |
| image | No | URL of a picture to copy the look from. Adds a flat fee. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 480p, 540p, 768p or 1080p. Default: 768p. |
| seed | No | Random seed for generation. A negative value means a random seed will be used. |
Tips
- Name the target as it looks in the video, in a word or two. Every match changes, so
jacketchanges every jacket in the shot. - Several things can be changed together:
hair, top. changekeeps the outline of what it replaces, so a tank top turned into a flannel shirt stays sleeveless. The shape and movement come from the original.- A picture only needs to show the thing itself: the outfit, the hairstyle, the place.
- Use a video with one continuous shot. Mirrors and reflections of the target are not supported.
- If nothing matching the target is found, the request fails with an error message. If the name is vague it may match something else, so use a specific word.
Pricing
> Billing duration: The length of your input video is rounded up to whole seconds. The minimum billed duration is 3 seconds; shorter videos are billed as 3 seconds. Videos longer than 15 seconds are billed as 15 seconds, and only their first 15 seconds are used.
The price depends on the billed length and the resolution. A reference picture adds a flat fee.
| Resolution | Price per second | Max billed length |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 0.40 USD | 15 s |
| 768p | 0.20 USD | 15 s |
| 540p | 0.17 USD | 15 s |
| 480p | 0.15 USD | 15 s |
A flat 0.02 USD is added when you give a reference picture in image.
Billing rules
- Billed duration = input video length rounded up to whole seconds, clamped to 3-15 seconds.
- 1080p: 0.40 USD per billed second.
- 768p: 0.20 USD per billed second.
- 540p: 0.17 USD per billed second.
- 480p: 0.15 USD per billed second. Lower resolutions are not proportionally cheaper: finding the people takes the same time at any size.
- Total = billed seconds x rate per second + 0.02 USD if
imageis given.
So, for example:
- 10 s video at 768p: 10 x 0.20 = 2.00 USD
- 10 s video at 540p: 10 x 0.17 = 1.70 USD
- 10 s video at 480p: 10 x 0.15 = 1.50 USD
- 10 s video at 1080p: 10 x 0.40 = 4.00 USD
- 10 s video at 768p with a reference picture: 10 x 0.20 + 0.02 = 2.02 USD
- 15 s video at 768p: 15 x 0.20 = 3.00 USD
- 2 s video at 768p (billed as 3 s): 3 x 0.20 = 0.60 USD
- 30 s video at 768p (billed as 15 s): 3.00 USD
