What Is Pollo Recast and How Does It Work
Pollo AI has launched Pollo Recast, a new tool that recreates an existing video with your own characters, products, or scenes while keeping the original motion and pacing recognizable.
It is built for creators, marketers, and brands who want to take a video format that already works and make it fit their own story, product, or audience. Instead of rebuilding the entire concept from the ground up, you can remix something people already recognize, keep the structure that makes the clip effective, and change the parts that need to be yours.
This makes Pollo Recast useful for trend videos, product reveals, meme formats, campaign ideas, and localized content. It helps you move faster on familiar formats while keeping the result distinct.
What Is Pollo Recast and How It Works
Pollo Recast works by combining a reference video with the visual assets you upload. The video provides the performance, camera work, and shot flow. The images define the new character, product, outfit, object, or setting.
Unlike tools that only swap a face, change a style, or mimic motion, Pollo Recast is designed to recreate the full video moment around your assets. The result keeps the structure of the original clip, but changes the parts you want to make your own.
You can start with your own reference video or choose a showcase example. A short prompt can be added when you need extra direction, but the main workflow is simple: choose the clip or example you want to build from, add what should appear in it, and generate a new version.
Turn a Video You Love Into Your Own Version
Pollo Recast keeps the original performance recognizable while rebuilding the scene around your character, product, or world.
