Film & Animation
Introduction
Creating deepfake videos or replacing someone’s face in a video has become increasingly accessible, even on mobile phones. This guide will walk you through the steps to do it for free using Google Colab.
Steps to Create a Deepfake Video
Step 1: Prepare Your Project
- Create a Project Folder: Begin by creating a folder on your mobile device for this project.
- Gather Your Files: You will need a clear video clip (ideally no longer than 30 seconds) and a face image. Ensure that the face image is clear and facing the camera, as well as the individual in the video.
Step 2: Access Google Colab
- Open Your Browser: Launch your phone's web browser and make sure you are logged in to your Gmail account.
- Open Google Colab: Click on the Google Colab link provided in the description of the tutorial video.
Step 3: Running the Code
Run Step 1: Once you are in Google Colab, run the first cell of code. If prompted, tap “Run anyway.” This step might take up to 3 minutes, after which a check mark will appear indicating completion.
Run Step 2: Click on the “Choose Files” button that appears and select the video you placed in your project folder. The video will begin uploading, and once completed, a preview will appear.
Run Step 3: Repeat the process by tapping the “Choose Files” button again and select the face image you want to use for the swap. Another preview will appear once the upload finishes.
Run Step 4: This step will initiate the face swapping process. Be patient, as this may take some time depending on the video length. Do not interact with your screen until this process is fully completed.
Run Step 5: Once the swapping process is finished, you will see the word “finished.” Now it’s time to download your final video. A window will pop up to save the video to your device.
Step 4: Disconnect from Google Colab
After you have completed everything, it’s important to disconnect from Google Colab for security reasons:
- Tap on “Runtime” from the menu and then select “Disconnect and delete runtime.” Confirm by tapping “Yes.”
Result
Once done, you'll have your deepfake video ready to enjoy. If you wish to use a different face image, repeat from Step 3 onward.
