Recreate a Body

Once the UAG team delivers a template, that gameplay is yours to work with. Recreate with AI on the template opens the Recreate Body studio, where you swap the individual assets in the gameplay for your own and build a new video from them. If you have not requested a template yet, start at Request a body template.

Recreating a body works differently from recreating a hook. A hook is generated as one video. A body is built asset by asset, so you decide exactly what changes and what stays.

Original versus template

View templates on a body card opens a modal listing:

Original

The competitor’s own footage, exactly as it ran. Useful as reference for choosing a structure.

Templates

That same gameplay structure turned into a template, ready for you to recreate and compose with.

The modal header reads Original + N templates, where N is how many templates exist for that body in the current game.

Recreate with AI appears on the templates, not on the original. If a body offers no Recreate action, its template is still to be delivered.

The studio

The Recreate Body screen puts your template and its assets on the left, and your finished video generations on the right.

Switch between templates

Templates at the top of the left panel shows how many you have to work with. Use the arrows to move between them, and selecting one plays the original in a picture-in-picture player so you can watch what you are rebuilding. Each template brings its own set of replaceable assets, so switching template changes the list below it.

Replaceable assets

Under the template thumbnail, Replaceable assets lists every element of the gameplay you can swap. Each row shows the asset, how many times it appears in the video, and what will happen to it.

On the row	What it tells you
Name	The asset, for example `White tile`, `Player photo · 1` or `Beach House`.
Count	How many instances appear, for example `×40`, `×8` or `×1`.
Operation	Which of the three applies to it: Replace, Re-texture or Re-color.
State	Whether a version has been generated, and once you set one, a thumbnail of the asset you chose.

The three operations

Every replaceable asset is set up for one of three operations, shown on its row next to the count. What you give it depends on which one it is.

Operation	What it changes	What you give it
Re-texture	The surface of the asset, keeping its shape.	An image, a prompt, or both.
Replace	Swaps the object itself for a new one.	A prompt, then a confirmation so the image can become a 3D model.
Re-color	The colour, and nothing else.	A hex code.

Selecting an asset opens its own history on the right, where you work in whichever of the three it uses. Back to videos returns you to the video list.

Re-texture
Replace
Re-color

Give it a prompt, an image, or both. A prompt on its own is enough, so you can simply describe what you want.Each generation lays out three panels:

Panel	What it shows
2D Model	The generated asset on its own.
Original frame	A frame from the video as it stands.
Recreated frame	The same frame with your new asset in place.

A single step, and the only input is a colour. Enter a hex code, for example #000000, then select Re-color.The result shows the Original frame beside the Recreated frame in the new colour.

The Recreated frame is the panel to trust. An asset can look right on its own and still sit oddly in the frame.

Set an asset as final

When a version works, select Select as final asset. The studio confirms what that means:

Setting this as the final asset will replace the original asset in your video with this 2D model. You can undo this anytime.

Two controls sit alongside it:

Edit image opens an inline prompt so you can adjust the same asset without starting over.
Remove final asset clears your choice and puts the original back.

Once an asset is final, its row on the left shows the new thumbnail in place of its state, so you can see at a glance what your video will use.

Generate as many versions of an asset as you like, and run several assets at once. You set one final per asset, so exploring options costs you nothing but time.

Generate the video

With your finals set, select Generate on the left. The video is built using every asset you set as final, and everything you left alone stays as it was. You can run several video generations in parallel, so there is no need to wait on one before trying a different combination of assets.

A typical 45 second video takes around 20 minutes to generate. That varies with how many assets you have changed and a few other factors, so start it and carry on with something else.

Download, rate and set your final video

Finished videos appear on the right of the studio with the same controls as a recreated hook:

Control	What it does
Download	Saves the video straight to your device.
Like	Marks the result as a good one.
Dislike	Opens Share feedback, where you describe what was off and send it.

When a result is not what you expected, select Dislike and say what went wrong. The system runs an auto improvement cycle on that feedback, so the next time you recreate something similar the quality comes back better, for you and for your team.

To keep a video, set it as your final video and Confirm. It then behaves exactly like a recreated hook: it comes back to Competitor research, and the body’s card carries a Recreations tag. Selecting the tag fans the card out to show every final recreation of that gameplay, so you can compare your versions and pick the one to ship.

Request a custom template

If the delivered templates do not cover what you have in mind, Request Custom Template sits at the bottom of the left panel. Select Send Request and the UAG team builds a new template from your storyboard. See Request a body template for how requests work.

Take them into Video Studio

Your recreated bodies are ready to build around. Select the ones you want in Competitor research and choose Generate Ads to land in Video Studio with them already in the Body column.

The body sets the output aspect ratio for the whole batch, so pick the recreation in the ratio you intend to ship before you start pairing it with hooks and texts.
