How To Create AI DeepFake Videos For FREE | Full Tutorial
Science & Technology
Introduction
Creating AI deepfake videos has become more accessible than ever with the introduction of various online tools. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of creating your own AI deepfake video for free using Swap Face, a user-friendly software that allows you to swap faces in videos effortlessly.
Step 1: Installation
- First, download the software file
swap_face.gif. - Once the download is complete, open the file and follow the instructions to create a new directory called
swap face. For convenience, you can choose to browse and save it in an existing folder, like your business folder. - After installation, launch the application. You will be prompted to sign in. If you don't have an account yet, click on "Sign Up" and enter the necessary information.
Step 2: Dashboard Overview
Once logged in, you'll be greeted by the dashboard which features several options:
- Stream Face Swap
- Video Face Swap
- Image Face Swap
- App details
For this tutorial, we will focus on “Video Face Swap.”
Step 3: Choose Your Video
- Prepare your video. Make sure to use a clip where the person resembles the individual you want to swap faces with. A good source for free stock videos is Pexels.
- Browse through the website, filter by videos, and search for a term like “woman laughing.” Select a short video that matches your requirements and free download it.
- Return to Swap Face and upload the video. After uploading, the program will recognize the face in the video. If there are multiple people, you can select which one to replace.
Step 4: Upload the Face Image
- Next, find an image of your AI model. For this tutorial, we will use an AI influencer named Nora Lewis from our Discord server.
- Right-click on the image and save it to your device.
- Upload this image onto Swap Face, and the application will automatically crop her face from the image. Confirm the selection.
Step 5: Adjust Settings and Start Processing
At the bottom of the screen, you will find several processing options:
- Fast Mode - Quick processing with lower resource consumption.
- Pro Mode - Better quality but longer processing time.
- Expert Mode - Best swap performance with higher resource demand.
- Hybrid Mode - A blend of the previous modes.
For this demonstration, we will select Fast Mode and click “Start.”
Step 6: Processing and Results
Depending on your computer's specifications, processing times may vary. On a standard Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series laptop, Fast Mode took about 5 minutes, which is impressive considering the AI technology involved.
After processing, you will receive a notification that the video is ready. Click on “Open” to review the results. You will see Nora's face swapped onto the chosen video. While minor glitches might occur, especially around the nose area, the overall effect can be quite convincing.
Step 7: Experimenting with Other Faces
You can try swapping faces with individuals of different ethnicities to see varied results. For example, you might choose a model of Asian descent and process the video again. Even in Fast Mode, the processing should remain under 6 minutes.
Step 8: Removing Watermarks
To remove the watermark present in your video, we can use another tool called vmake doai. Upload the video, and after processing, you will be able to download a watermark-free version. Note that this tool requires you to spend credits, which you can obtain by signing up for a free trial.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an error message during video uploads, try using cloudconvert.com to convert your file to MP4 format before attempting another upload.
