What is Character Casting?
Character casting lets you choose how the people in your video will look. Think of it like choosing actors for a movie. You can let the system choose for you or pick specific characters.
How to Cast Your Characters
Step 1: Character are automatically casted
After creating your script, you'll see that all characters have been automatically cast for you.
Step 2: Recast your characters (optional)
Click on any character to open the casting options and choose a different one.
⚠️ Character casting cannot be changed after the video has been generated.

Best for: When you have a specific look in mind
Do Not Cast
Let the character appear as a random, everyday person instead of a specific designed character.
Best for:
Narrators: If someone is telling the story but not really part of it.
Famous People: If your story is about celebrities or well-known figures. This works better for very famous people (like presidents) than lesser-known celebrities
Generic Character Types: If your story mentions people in general terms, such as "A determined student," "An elderly woman," "A helpful neighbor"
