Powerful AI Face Swapper: And it's FREE?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

After you watch the video, I've got some extra tips that I missed in the video in the description! So, make sure to check those out for even better swaps!

[@jonogrimmer6013]

For better face consistency make sure you've got the different angles selected. You can also enable 'many' on the face detectors although this will slow down the processing. Another issue you may have had is playing with the face distance slider.

Cool! It works really well! I always recommend that people use a separate computer to run any of this AI stuff. It's the best way to avoid exfiltration of personal information and password stealing Trojans. Remote control and unauthorized processing (i.e. bitcoin) are still potential issues, but since it's on separate computer, it's something you can monitor and deal with in the future.

[@luismiguel69able]

couldnt you run it offline?

[@pointandshootvideo]

@luismiguel69able a Trojan will install a separate application that will wait until you connect back up to the internet

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

​@@luismiguel69ablesure, but that's not how malware works. If the program has malware in it, it will still install even though you ran it while offline. Then later on when you connect to the Internet again it will phone back home. Running it online or offline is irrelevant, unless you never connect to the Internet again. And even then, if it's malware that's just designed to destroy your filesystem then it will immediately do that on install because that doesn't require Internet. With that said, running facefusion with pinokio is as safe as it gets.

[@pointandshootvideo]

@@luismiguel69able No. Smart trojans will continuously check for network connectivity and just wait until you're back online.

Great overview, I’ve been using insight face swapper, since you featured it and this a big leap forward for me, even the facial expression palette…I just have to get over the install, but thanks for the install simplification and general starting point settings. Much thanks Tim. PS. AI audio has been sleeping or I’m late to the party , I hope we have this much control with real time audio mangling and transforming , although vocaflex has been doing a great job of sound imprinting to create new vocal voices, but I would like to see more sound synthesis that really can handle morphing sound in real time , kinda like realtime synthesis with a synth plant engine. 1nce again cheers Tim.

It DOES work with video! lots of examples here!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Oh, I'm sorry-- the EDITOR! haha- no, as far as I've seen-- just stills. Although-- you COULD do it frame by frame and animate? Or-- actually, the easier version: One frame and then another, and then use something like Luma's First/Last frame to generate.

[@High-Tech-Geek]

Thanks Tim. What were the biggest improvements since your video on Face Fusion from 10 months ago?

[@RiftWarth]

Another awesome video, Tim. I have been looking for something like this and I can't wait to try it. I've tried paid services as well as free tools like Forge and Fooocus but I can't seem to get them to do good face swaps. Hoping this will. And yes, don't be evil. Use responsibility.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I think you’ll be super pleased. Again, as I pointed out in the video, it still has limitations (don’t they all?) and make sure you check out the tips I popped in the description!

[@lineardrift]

Hi Tim, like always, thank you so much. I literally can't keep up with all of this. LOL I am making a short film now and your videos help a lot! I have a flow now on what apps to use for each sequence. The biggest challenge is always the face swap for my lead character. Does this APP swap faces on stills too or just video?

[@magicmulder]

I've been using AIVideoFaceSwap for some time and am really happy with it. The latest update which allows a quality setting of 1.5 (previously 1.0 was the max) also handles head movements and characters making faces very well. Only disadvantage is the processing time, a 4 minute video took a good 4-6 hours on my 3080 at the highest quality setting.

[@Twizzforsberg]

Just found it. So going to download. Think best is to do shorter clips. My computer is 6 years old but a i7

[@sauloboy3290]

It's not working, I don't know what's wrong, everything works perfectly until the video with the faces changed appears, at the end, nothing happens, the final video doesn't appear, and the preview of the video appears but like the original video, nothing changes in the video, what's wrong? Do I just have to wait? Please help me.

[@thewebstylist]

Looks amazing, great vid as always Tim… annnd an hour later I couldn’t get it to work though followed ever step. On my MacBook Pro Sequoia, but my side screen options diff at the point of ‘Ui Default’ (that was not there for me) … not surprised, me and local installs for top notch Ai content creation just never works out being compatible though I keep tryin

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Huh. Racking my brain as to why that might be…you’ve got the latest version of Pinokio, I presume? Mayyyybe hit the “reset” at the bottom (which actually re-downloads it?) or try the update? Actually, try the update first, and then maybe Reset if that doesn’t work. Beyond that, I’d recommend checking out the Discord. They’ve got a pretty good support/help system going on there

[@gtxizz]

Same here!

[@ArcheyLopez]

same here!. I clicked around a little. I had to click on "run default" or something and the "start" (on the top). the some other install happens. after that the UI button appears

[@jonnyb6700]

Everything went fine. But when I click start, it finishes processing, but nothing appears in the output frame... Any ideas?

[@d.s.ramirez6178]

Hi Tim! i would like to politely request that you explain in more detail what the app or feature of the app is for. In the section about the face swapper section involving expressions (?) I wasnt able to understand the practical use for it as you zoomed through the explanation. Otherwise, great content! Thank you!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Ah, yes- sorry, I might have breezed though that part, since I covered it in an earlier video. If you go back to the video I did on OpenArt (the thumbnail has a girl with blue hair, I think?) there is a section that covers this feature. It’s not quite controlled the same, but it is pretty much the same feature. Everyone puts their spin on it, but the underlying technology is the same

They did add an interesting thing (that actually got cut from this video) where you can mark degrees (0, 90, 180) for the source-- so, that's helpful.

[@Tallsquall]

Great update! Have you discovered something that handles multiple faces in a video for swapping in different faces for each?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

So, I didn't get into it for this video-- namely because I didn't have a lot of time to experiment with it, but at the bottom of FaceFusion, you'll see something that says "instant run" or something of the sort. Sorry, not at my machine... Anyhow, that's a pulldown where you can use "Jobs"-- this will allow you to run FF on one character, then after it is done, it'll go back and do the other. Again-- didn't have time to dig into this feature, but it is there!

Yess if they all in same footage, just choose each and every face in the face detection section you wanna swap with

[@walkingwithyou636]

suppose there are multiple people in the video and we want to change various faces then it works or not? Similarly, if there is 2 or more people in the frame then how does lip sync works?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

You should have targeting options (right person, left person) on the right had side. At the bottom you’ll see a pull down that says “instant run” or something like that. You can use that to schedule “jobs” where FF3 will run once w/ one person, and then again with the other. TBH, I didn’t have time to play around with jobs for this video, so try it out and let me know how it works!

I was hoping you'd show if it works in different media styles. On the extreme end of things, can it face swap /fuse from a real photo to a cartoon / anime? I remember a Corridor Crew video taking faces and putting into different art styles, like Yoji Shinkawa (Metal Gear Solid art). But that was about two years ago (video title: "Is this the death of VFX").

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I remember that one! I’ll have to do some test, but I don’t think that this is where FF’s strength is. You’d likely end up with something that looks a little cursed. It’s more meant for realism. But, I’ll give it a shot! Why not?!
