Openjutsu Object Swap API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Openjutsu Object Swap applies prompt-guided object and scene changes to existing videos, allowing users to replace hair, clothing, objects, or entire backgrounds while preserving the rest of the shot and original audio. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Genjutsu Object Swap (OpenJutsu) changes a selected object, appearance, or background in an existing video while preserving the rest of the scene, camera movement, performance, and original audio.
Name what you want to change, describe the replacement, or provide a reference image to guide the new look.
Why Choose This?
- Targeted video editing — Change specific elements such as hair, clothing, vehicles, or other visible objects.
- Reference-guided replacement — Use an image to guide the appearance of an outfit, hairstyle, product, place, or other element.
- Background replacement — Keep the selected subject while transforming the surrounding environment.
- Original motion preserved — Retain the source video’s movement, timing, and camera behavior.
- Original audio preserved — Keep the source soundtrack in the final result.
- Up to 1080p output — Choose
480p,540p,768p, or1080p.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| video | Yes | Source video URL. Must be at least 2 seconds long. Use a single continuous shot. Up to the first 15 seconds are processed. |
| target | Yes | Name the element to change, such as hair, jacket, or car. Multiple targets can be separated with commas. In background mode, specify what should remain unchanged, such as person. |
| mode | No | Editing mode: change replaces the target, while background keeps the target and changes its surroundings. Default: change. |
| change_to | No | Description of what the target should become. Required unless image is provided. In background mode, describe the new environment. |
| image | No | Optional reference image used to guide the replacement appearance or environment. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 480p, 540p, 768p, or 1080p. Default: 768p. |
| seed | No | Random seed for generation. A negative value uses a random seed. |
How to Use
- Upload a source video — Use a continuous shot with the target clearly visible.
- Name the target — Specify what should change.
- Describe the replacement — Use
change_to, or provide a reference image. - Choose the mode — Use
changefor object or appearance replacement, orbackgroundfor environment changes. - Choose resolution — Select
480p,540p,768p, or1080p. - Submit — Generate and retrieve the edited video.
Pricing
Pricing is based on the input video duration and selected resolution.
| Resolution | Price per Second |
|---|---|
| 480p | $0.15 |
| 540p | $0.17 |
| 768p | $0.20 |
| 1080p | $0.40 |
Providing a reference image adds $0.02 per request.
Example Costs
| Configuration | Price |
|---|---|
| 10s at 480p | $1.50 |
| 10s at 540p | $1.70 |
| 10s at 768p | $2.00 |
| 10s at 1080p | $4.00 |
| 10s at 768p + reference image | $2.02 |
| 15s at 768p | $3.00 |
Videos shorter than 3 seconds are billed as 3 seconds. Videos longer than 15 seconds use and bill only the first 15 seconds.
Best Use Cases
- Appearance changes — Change hairstyles, clothing, colors, or accessories.
- Object replacement — Replace products, vehicles, props, and other visible elements.
- Background replacement — Move a subject into a different environment while keeping the person unchanged.
- Product variations — Swap product appearance using text or a reference image.
- Creative video editing — Transform selected parts of existing footage without rebuilding the entire scene.
Pro Tips
- Name the target using a short and specific description.
- Separate multiple targets with commas when several elements should change together.
- Use a reference image when you want a specific visual appearance.
- Keep the source video to one continuous shot for more predictable results.
- Use specific target names to reduce accidental matches.
- Remember that replacement follows the original target’s shape and movement.
Notes
- Input video duration is rounded up to the next whole second for billing.
videoandtargetare required.change_tois required unless a referenceimageis provided.modedefaults tochange.- Multiple targets can be edited in the same request.
- In
backgroundmode, the specified target is preserved while the surrounding scene changes. - Source audio is preserved.
- Mirrors and reflections of the edited target are not supported.
- If no matching target is found, the request may fail.
- Videos longer than
15seconds use only the first15seconds.
