Model Card for Video Face Swap Model
This model is designed to swap faces in video files using a reference image and a gender-based selection mechanism for face swapping. It aims to provide a fast, efficient, and accessible face swapping solution for users who wish to replace faces in videos based on gender detection from the reference photo.
Model Details
Model Description
This model is trained for video face swapping, leveraging deep learning techniques to accurately map faces from a reference image onto a target video. The model recognizes the gender of the reference photo and ensures that the gender matches in the video swap (i.e., it will not swap a male face into a female face or vice versa). The model is optimized for fast processing with minimal delays, allowing videos of varying lengths and sizes to be processed in just a few minutes.

Uses
Direct Use
This model is primarily intended for direct face swapping in video files. Users can upload their video and a reference image to the model, which will perform the face swap by identifying the gender in the reference image and applying the appropriate face replacement to the video. The model is fast and designed for real-time applications.
Downstream Use
This model can be fine-tuned for specific applications such as personalized video content creation, entertainment, and media. It is suitable for developers looking to integrate face swapping technology into their own video editing or AI-based platforms.
Out-of-Scope Use
The model is not intended for use in malicious activities such as creating harmful deepfake content, violating privacy, or using it for misleading or unethical purposes. It should not be used to create explicit, harmful, or deceptive media content.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
The model may have biases that affect the accuracy of face swaps depending on the dataset used for training, the quality of the reference image, or the diversity of faces in the target video. It might not work well with poor-quality or low-resolution images and videos. Additionally, the gender-based face swapping may not always be perfect, especially in cases of non-binary or ambiguous gender representations.
Recommendations
Users should be aware of the potential for misrepresentation and unethical use. Always ensure that the model is used responsibly and in compliance with all legal and ethical guidelines. The face swap results are best when high-quality reference images are used, and the target video is of decent resolution.
How to Get Started with the Model
To get started, follow the instructions below for using the model:
- Upload your video: Ensure the video you want to process is in a supported format (e.g., MP4, AVI).
- Provide a reference image: Upload a high-quality reference image of the person whose face you want to swap.
- Gender selection: The model will automatically detect the gender of the reference image. Ensure that the gender is correct for the intended face swap.
- Run the model: Start the face swap process. The model will process the video and generate the swapped output.
- Download the video: After processing, you can download the final swapped video.
