Create high-quality deepfake videos with Stable Diffusion (Mov2Mov & ReActor)

Introduction

In this article, we will explore how to create high-quality deepfake videos using Stable Diffusion, featuring the Mov2Mov extension and the ReActor face-swapping functionality. If you've previously encountered the Loop face-swap technique, you will see how the new ReActor function enhances this process. We will guide you through the installation of these extensions and the step-by-step procedures for crafting your deepfake video. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Installation of Mov2Mov and ReActor Extensions

1. Launching Stable Diffusion: Start by launching Stable Diffusion. If you are unfamiliar with the interface, refer to prior tutorials for guidance.

2. Downloading Extensions:

   • Navigate to the Extensions tab on the top screen.
   • Select Install from URL.
   • Copy and paste the provided link for Mov2Mov from the summary and click Install. The installation will complete shortly.

3. Restarting Stable Diffusion:

   • Click the Play button to restart after installation.
   • Upon successful restart, ensure the Mov2Mov tab appears at the top screen.

4. Installing ReActor:

   • Repeat the process for the ReActor extension by pasting its link into the same installation section.
   • Restart Stable Diffusion once again.
   • Verify that the term ReActor is visible under the Mov2Mov tab, indicating successful installation.

Step 2: Creating Your Deepfake Video

1. Accessing Mov2Mov: Click the Mov2Mov tab.

2. Selecting a Model: Choose a model, such as Beautiful Realistic, known for its capabilities in generating high-quality Asian-style visuals.

3. Uploading the Original Video:

   • Upload the original video that will undergo the face swap.
   • Adjust the sampling method to your preference; this guide uses the default DPM++ 2M Karras.
   • Ensure the width and height match the original video for a seamless output.

4. Modifying Settings:

   • Set the Denosing Strength to zero to maintain the integrity of the original video, as you are only swapping faces this time.
   • Do not adjust the seed value or use control net features for this project.

5. Using the ReActor Extension:

   • Upload the face image you want to swap in as the source.
   • Enable ReActor with its default settings.
   • Utilize features such as Gender Detection, Listr Face, CodeFormer, and GFP-GAN to enhance the face swap results.

6. Generating the Video: After adjusting the settings, click Generate to begin processing. Monitor the progress until it reaches 100%.

7. Reviewing the Results: After processing, review the resulting video. You should see a smoothly swapped face, maintaining high fidelity without noticeable artifacts.

8. Downloading the Video:

   • Navigate to My Drive > Stable Diffusion Web UI > Outputs > Mov2Mov Video to download your creation.

After completing these steps, you will have successfully created a high-quality deepfake video using Mov2Mov and ReActor!
