# Swap ingredients after generation

Use post-generation swaps when a generated project has the right shape but the actor, product, hook, CTA, or b-roll needs to change. Start by changing the ingredient value, then review which scenes and timeline elements depend on it.

Text changes may only require updating voiceover, captions, or overlays. Visual changes usually require regeneration because the generated video already baked the old reference into the pixels.

Use this process carefully in templates and campaigns. Swap one variable, regenerate affected scenes, review the output, then move on to the next variable.
