FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it the same as the Video Character Swap app?

Yes. The skill sends the Video Character Swap app’s own prompt with the same models and defaults, so your agent gets the app’s results from a chat, and can run it on many images in one go.

How long can the clip be?

Cherry 2 Pro takes clips of 4 to 30 seconds, and the result keeps the clip’s length and shape. For a shorter clip the skill offers Lemon, which takes 1 to 15 seconds.

Can I copy a dance onto my character?

Yes. Swap your character into a video of the dance: the motion comes from the clip, and the look from your character.

Can I use a real person’s face?

Only with that person’s permission, and never to deceive, harass, or sexualize anyone. Harmful deepfakes are forbidden on Mage, and the skill states the rule with the price before it runs.

Why does it ask before rendering?

Video is priced by resolution and length, so the skill quotes the model, resolution, length, and Gems and waits for your yes. It starts at 480p, the cheapest, and offers 720p or 1080p for a final.
