How to Face Swap Videos: Step-by-Step Guide

Face swapping in videos has become increasingly popular and can be a fun way to create entertaining content. In this step-by-step guide, we will explore two efficient tools that allow you to easily swap faces in videos. Whether you prefer to do it online or install the tools locally, we've got you covered. Plus, we'll even show you how to enhance the video quality of your results. So, let's dive in and get started!

1. How to Face Swap Videos with Swap Face

Downloading and Installing Swap Face

To begin, we will use the Swap Face tool, which offers a simple downloading and installation process. Just visit their website and click on the provided link in the description. Choose the "Download for Windows" option and follow the instructions for installation. Once installed, create an account and log in to access the dashboard.

Uploading Target Video and Source Image

After logging in, you will find the dashboard, where you can easily swap faces while streaming via your webcam, swap faces in a video, or even swap faces in an image. For this guide, we will focus on swapping faces in a video. Upload your target video and the source image you want to swap faces with. Let's say we want to replace Elon Musk's face in the video.

Choosing Deep Fake Quality

Swap Face provides four different deep fake qualities: fast, pro, expert, and hybrid. The fast mode offers quick results, but the adaptation of the image to the video may not be as precise. On the other hand, pro and expert modes deliver the best quality, while the hybrid mode is ideal for videos where the subject is talking. In this case, we'll choose the expert mode for better results.

Generating Results with Swap Face

Please note that a decent graphics card is required for optimal performance. If your computer doesn't meet the graphics card requirement, you can still use the fast mode, which requires less memory. The time taken to generate the results may vary depending on your computer hardware. Once the results are ready, you can download the swapped video. Please be aware that Swap Face adds a watermark to the output video if you're using the free version, but it can easily be removed with video editing software.

2. Enhancing Video Quality with Hitpor Video Enhancer

In addition to face swapping, you may also want to enhance the overall video quality of your results. Hitpor Video Enhancer is a powerful tool that offers various AI-driven enhancements. You can denoise videos, enhance general video quality, enhance specific faces, improve cartoon video quality, and even convert black and white videos to color. Let's explore how to use this tool to enhance your face-swapped video.

Introduction to Hitpor Video Enhancer

Before we begin, let's take a moment to understand what Hitpor Video Enhancer has to offer. As an AI-powered tool, Hitpor provides several features that make your life easier when it comes to video enhancement. While there is a cost associated with using Hitpor Video Enhancer, priced at $99 for a yearly subscription, it can be considered affordable, especially if you offer video enhancement services on platforms like Fiverr.com.

Downloading and Installing Hitpor Video Enhancer

To get started with Hitpor Video Enhancer, simply click on the provided link in the description and visit their website. From there, click on "Try for Free" and follow the instructions to install the program. Once the installation is complete, log in to your Hitpor account.

Enhancing Video Quality with Hitpor

After logging in, you can upload the video you want to enhance. Hitpor Video Enhancer offers different models to choose from, such as denoising for general quality enhancement or face modeling to enhance only specific faces. You can also enhance the quality of cartoon videos or convert black and white videos to color using the colorize model. For this guide, we'll focus on using the general denoise model to enhance the overall video quality.

Choose your desired output resolution, either 1080P or 4K, and click on "Preview" to see how the enhanced video will look. If you're satisfied with the results, click on "Export" to save the enhanced video. Please note that this feature is not free, and you will need to pay for it as part of your subscription.

3. Deep Fake Tool: Rupe

If you're interested in using a free and open-source deep fake tool, Rupe is the perfect choice. Although it can be installed locally and used with a high-end graphics card, we'll show you how to use it with Google Collab, making it accessible in the cloud without the need for a powerful graphics card.

Introduction to Rupe

Rupe is an open-source deep fake tool that can be found on GitHub. It offers powerful face-swapping capabilities and is highly customizable. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to use it with Google Collab, a cloud-based platform that eliminates the need for a high-end graphics card.

Using Rupe with Google Collab

To get started, click on the provided link in the description to access Rupe's GitHub page. Once there, log in with your Google account. The interface might seem overwhelming at first, but don't worry; it's straightforward to use.

Running Cells and Uploading Files

In Rupe's Google Collab interface, you'll notice four cells that need to be run in sequential order. Start by clicking on the play button in the first cell. This will initiate the process, which usually takes around one minute. Once the first cell is completed, you'll see a green check mark. Proceed to run the second cell, which is faster. After that, run the third cell, which may take between three to five minutes.

To upload your video and the picture of your subject, click on "Files" on the left side of the interface. Drag and drop your video and picture files, ensuring they are fully uploaded. Right-click on the video file, click on "Copy Path," and then go back to the fourth cell and paste the path under "Target." Repeat the same process for the subject's picture, pasting the path under "Source."

Generating Results with Rupe

With all cells run and files uploaded, you can now run the last cell. Wait for it to complete successfully, and your resulting video will be created in the same location where you uploaded your files. The video will be named "swapped." If you don't see it immediately, right-click and refresh the page. Simply double-click on the "swapped" file to download it.

Please note that you only need to run all four cells during the first time of each session. If you want to deep fake another video, simply run the last cell with the new target video and image.
