Replace a subject in an existing video or transfer its performance onto a reference character with Magic Hour. Use for whole-character recasting and motion transfer; not face-only swaps or generating unrelated scenes with a recurring character.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Magic Hour character replace Reuse a performance the user already likes. Accept “make my character do this” or “replace this performer”; infer the correct mode from what the user wants to preserve. Keep the reference and source footage distinct and complete the requested clip within the existing budget. ## Choose replace or animate | Request | Mode | What to inspect | | ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Put my character into this footage, keeping the setting | `replace` | Intended subject replaced, source action and surrounding scene retained | | Make the character in my image perform this motion | `animate` | Reference character and image composition, transferred performance | | Change only this person's face | Face Swap | Facial identity; body and costume are outside that operation | …

How to install
mdr add magichourhq/skills/magic-hour-character-replace@sha256:31eccfef534cb0e1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
