What it does

Ditto is the video recasting tool inside Melius, the AI creative canvas from Melius AI, Inc. You give it a video and pick who or what to replace, then supply a photo, an avatar or a new background image. Ditto renders a new video that keeps the original motion, camera moves and timing. It can also restyle a clip, for example rebuilding a street dance block by block or turning a scene into a retro console cutscene. A single generation can carry up to 30 replacements across characters, props and backgrounds. Ditto runs in the Melius web app and over the Melius API and MCP, and is in beta with a waitlist while access rolls out.
