Hmmmm i'm sorry but as someone who works in the vfx industry I don't think the faceswap is legit, there are too many odd things about the faces. He has an invisible eyeglasses shape throughout on his face for one thing which seems to indicate something has been edited on the original plate which there would be no reason for. Also, some portions of the frame are flipped from the original but other portions are not flipped. Alot of things about this say this is a faked deepfake.... enjoy your videos by the way thanks for finding this stuff!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Thanks for your analysis! I’ve been hearing a lot of speculation stating the same. So, either this is a model that is really (really) impressive, or he choreographed the whole thing- which, I’ve got to say, is practically a magic trick all its own!

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Thanks, Tim. Brilliantly helpful updates as always :-)

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Thank you so much!! Much appreciated from Studio B!

[@noNumber2Sherlock]

Always the best Tim! Said with love,studio B needs a paint job :) But anyhow,, its YOU we come to see and hear Thanks as always!

Haha. studio B is going to be a work in progress. I’m sure once I get it dialed in, it’ll be time to move back downstairs! Also, Studio B is the kids project hangout room! They want me out too!

[@DiceDecides]

[@TomasSowellIsGreat]

Nim and Morph looks cool! I hope that I’ll have the ability to check it out soon! I am also so excited about the Midjourney news, it would be awesome to do everything in one place, it would really streamline the process 😊

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I’m super fascinated by what MJ is up to! I know a lot of folks like to proclaim them “dead” but I always think of them as a slumbering giant. David is a smart dude…a bit weird? Yup, and I mean that as a compliment, but also with a pretty grand vision of what MJ can be. All of which is to say, I’ve got some chips in his corner for sure.

[@christopherpoet458]

10:35 - I think it was last year but I recall there being either an interview or something about the potential future of MJ and one of the comment was basically a "what if you could generate an entire 3D world using MJ" and my brain immodestly thought of something like the Nerve Gear in Sword Art Online but you are creator going into a blank slate and using prompts through programs like MJ to generate and build the virtual environment. I don't see it getting that crazy in the near future but I am here to see what MJ does with 3D Generation and where it could go.

[@circelink]

10 seconds on Morph is very appealing! And can I say I love you even more for "whole other"ing instad of "whole nuther"ing.

[@gamersgabangest3179]

My philosophy is: 'If it’s not released to the public, then it’s not ready for discussion.'"

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I totally get what you're saying-- but at the same time, I like to keep track of what is possible, and as an eye on what will arrive in the span of three to six months. For example, when I covered the Adobe MAX sneaks and we all saw Video Inpainting. I can point (somewhere in my archives) to the whitepaper on it, months beforehand. Hyping it is one thing, which I try not to do-- tracking it is another.

[@gamersgabangest3179]

That wasn't meant for you. 😃 I get upset with these people when they brag about how good their AI is but then don't release it.

[@Misiogry]

Lol you're 3rd youtuber I'm subscribing who is going through "modernization" of "studio A" 😆 is there any particular building where all of you are hiding? 😂 Thanks for the video even in these difficult times. Voice wasn't issue for me.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Haha, spring renovations in full gear! In my case, Studio A is basically a giant barn. It’s an awesome space, but the roof is vaulted and uninsulated, so when the sun beats down in the summer the AC can’t keep up. So, a few weeks of futzing in Studio B will payoff in the middle of the summer for sure!

[@AB-wf8ek]

He's speaking Mandarin. If you watch movies it can help to think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Mandarin) vs Kung Fu Hustle (Cantonese) Also, Cantonese being a southeastern dialect has a certain stacatto that reminds me of Vietnamese, whereas Mandarin is generally more soft and lyrical

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Ahhh- That is a super helpful tip! And EXCELLENT references!

[@AllanGildea]

Tim, this is extraordinary. I'd love to get your analysis on the Kate Middleton video, where she appears in a garden, seated on a bench, talking about her recent alleged illness. I genuinely think there is public interest component to the video, your professional opinion would be valuable. Regardless, thanks for your outstanding content.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Yeah, I watched that a bunch of times as the speculation was mounting. To be honest, I think it's.a real video. It does look a little "off" but mostly because of that super diffused background. There's also this think that tends to happen when we see the framerate conversion from BBC footage (25fps) to US (29.97fps). I'll admit though, when people started talking about it, I had to go back and watch it a few times. This is not going to be the first time this will happen this year, I'm sure!

[@AllanGildea]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Thanks Tim, broadcast professional myself and just wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Appreciate your reply, thanks again.

[@futtertots]

This has been done in an even greater detail, for over four years now on a phone app, it just takes a little bit of tricky, but it can be done totally in real time and even more convincing than this. I think there’s something else going on here I don’t know how they did it on the phone but it been tested, on even an old iPhone anyway good luck with this. It looks better in terms of ability to modify the code Xa

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I’ve seen some really good phone ones as well! I mean, even some of the Tik Tok filters are super impressive. For the older models, I’ll say, one that that helps in their favor is the lower resolution of 720p face cameras. A little smudging around the pixels really helps sell the illusion.

[@futtertots]

Yup and they could move the borders around a bit. They could have something very powerful. It has the age the age thing on point I still don’t know how they managed to do it. Everything on the phone even off-line great topic.

[@ceige42]

Tim, Good sound is studio B, very nice!

[@Aboutyou-gp5ic]

@Theoretically Media would you care to make a video or tutorial about lips sync and face expression for the anime or animated charater we generate from ai ? Like where we upload the picture and audio and it got generated as lips sync I tried few in Google colb but they are not soo great they make lips blurry, please help

[@High-Tech-Geek]

Tim, in your "--sref random" example where you then use the sref seed button to continue with that style... Q:: What if I like that dark red splattery style, but I want to apply it in another color to create a variety of different colored images that share that style?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Thinking out loud here, what I would try is to take the red splatter image, run a Remix on it, and feed in keywords to the prompt like “blue hue, (dash,dash)No red” Might take some futzing, but once you have something, use that as the new style reference.

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

Can it recreate people who have successfully learned to eat with their mouths closed as well, or does it only work for Mainlanders?

[@AG_before]

I usually focus on your excellent content and humour. So, although I'm thankful you shared this, as always, here's what really caught my eye: 0:55 'this technology have zero positive outcomes' (comment) Although I don't agree with that entirely, it is _very_ disturbing what this will _undoubtedly_ be used for, and much too often.

Why is no one talking about the fact that you can see clearly see that the guy on the "original" view is supposed to be wearing glasses but they are erased by AI. They pop in and out many times.

[@MyAmazingUsername]

That faceswap can't be the standard ones like FaceSwapLive, FaceFusion, and Roop. This is something more impressive than all of that. Everything holds up perfectly. Not a single glitch. Impressive. I wonder if they'll release it. I also wonder if it's just a hyper-specific model for exactly his face which can't generalize.

[@leandrorighini6137]

The face swap looks fake, after you pointed out that the eyeliner was off, it seems off in a lot of it and almost like she is watching something off camera.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I keep going back and forth. The one that keeps tripping me up is the hands. Like, on the swap, if it is faked-- does this girl have big meaty hands? Either way, if it IS faked, it is a really really impressive mimicry. Like, that alone is worth a watch!

[@leandrorighini6137]

@@TheoreticallyMedia True the hands are meaty. But if you also look at the background on his BG, its shooting off on the top right edge and hers isn't, plus the hair is falling differently on the face on the right. I think its mimicry, But I agree, good job if thats the case.

[@victoriadedicova]

​​@@TheoreticallyMedia translate face swap to Russian and see what they are running. Plenty of videos in KZbin and communities on telegram. They also have whole writeups on it and systems in Chinese. You can get them from their repository. But harder. Really, the best, is when th Russians grab the Chinese faceswap or AI and redo it to English or Russian. The issue with Chinese is that sometimes you need to log in with their systems or go through a verification process to get the software and if you don't have a WeChat, it's a pain. It's a whole world that US does not get to see. Very advanced avatars and swaps.

​@@TheoreticallyMedia it's a semi-fake fake. I looked at it frame by frame and these are two videos of real persons mimicking each other but then they ran something like insightface over the guy in the small picture so that is face match more closely the girls face. that is why you can see the guy's glasses popping in and out all the time, same thing happen in roop when you swap persons with glasses, the model is too low resolution for glasses. it's a cool video but the girl is real, not AI. a lot of manual work clearly went into this video.

My --sref random result is always --sref random, not like your --sref 12312313213 @ 7:50 ? How do you switch to that? In other parts yours is like mine, just says --sref random

Yeah, I noticed that too. I THINK it takes a bit to refresh. It's a fairly new feature, so I'm sure it's a little buggy right now. I didn't want to fully call it out, since these videos tend to stick around for awhile, and I'll be pointing out a thing they fixed a long time ago. Checking now, it appears the images I generated earlier seem to have SRef numbers, so I think it just takes a bit.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]
