The total cost depends on how long the model runs. It costs $0.001080 per second. Based on an average runtime of 90 seconds, each run costs about $0.0972. With a $1 budget, you can run the model around 10 times.

Create a Prediction

Send a POST request to create a new prediction. This will return a prediction ID that you'll use to check the result. The request should include your model inputs and API key.

Get Prediction Result

Poll the prediction endpoint with the prediction ID until the result is ready. The API uses long-polling, so you'll need to repeatedly check until you receive a success status.

Overview

The faceswap-video model is an advanced AI system designed to seamlessly swap faces in videos, maintaining realistic expressions, lighting, and angles throughout the footage. Developed using state-of-the-art machine learning and computer vision techniques, it automates the complex process of facial replacement, which traditionally required manual frame-by-frame editing. The model is widely adopted by content creators, marketers, filmmakers, and developers seeking to personalize or modify video content efficiently.

Key features include high-fidelity face mapping that tracks and replicates the subject’s movements, expressions, and lighting conditions for natural-looking results. The underlying technology leverages deep learning architectures, likely based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) or similar frameworks, to ensure that the swapped face blends seamlessly with the original video. What sets faceswap-video apart is its ability to handle subtle facial movements and environmental variations, making it suitable for both professional and creative applications.

Technical Specifications

  • Architecture: Deep learning, likely based on GANs or similar neural network architectures for video synthesis and face mapping
  • Parameters: Not publicly specified; typical models in this category range from tens to hundreds of millions of parameters
  • Resolution: Supports standard and high-definition video resolutions; output quality depends on input video and configuration settings
  • Input/Output formats: Common video formats such as MP4, MOV for input and output; accepts still images for face source
  • Performance metrics: Realism of face swap (expression, lighting, angle matching), processing speed (minutes per video depending on length and resolution), and swap accuracy as reported by users

Key Considerations

  • High-quality, well-lit, and front-facing source images yield the most realistic swaps
  • Input videos should have clear, unobstructed views of the target face for optimal tracking and mapping
  • Adjust parameters such as face alignment and expression matching for best results
  • Review and fine-tune outputs, as automated swaps may require manual correction in challenging scenes
  • There is a trade-off between processing speed and output quality; higher fidelity settings may increase processing time
  • Prompt engineering (e.g., specifying lighting or expression adjustments) can improve blending and realism
  • Avoid using low-resolution or blurry inputs, as these can degrade output quality

Tips & Tricks

  • Use high-resolution, front-facing photos with neutral expressions for the source face to maximize realism
  • Ensure consistent lighting between the source image and target video to minimize mismatches
  • For videos with rapid head movements or occlusions, break the video into shorter segments for more accurate swaps
  • Experiment with face alignment and expression matching parameters to achieve desired emotional tone
  • Iteratively refine outputs by reviewing initial results and adjusting input images or settings as needed
  • When swapping faces in group scenes, process each face separately for better control and accuracy
  • Use simple, direct prompts when guiding the AI (e.g., "Match skin tone and lighting to scene")

Capabilities

  • Accurately swaps faces in videos while preserving original expressions, lighting, and head angles
  • Handles subtle facial movements and environmental changes for natural-looking results
  • Supports both short clips and longer videos, with scalability depending on hardware and settings
  • Adaptable to various creative, professional, and entertainment applications
  • Produces high-quality outputs suitable for social media, marketing, and film production
  • Allows for parameter customization to balance speed and quality

What Can I Use It For?

  • Creating personalized marketing videos by swapping spokesperson faces without reshooting
  • Generating entertainment content such as memes, parody videos, and social media clips
  • Virtual production workflows, enabling rapid actor replacement in pre-visualization or post-production
  • Educational content personalization, such as inserting instructors’ faces into demonstration videos
  • Business applications like customer engagement videos with tailored faces for different demographics
  • Personal projects, including family video edits and creative storytelling
  • Industry-specific uses in advertising, AR/VR experiences, and interactive media

Things to Be Aware Of

  • Some experimental features may produce inconsistent results, especially with extreme facial angles or poor lighting
  • Users report that occlusions (e.g., hands covering the face) can disrupt the swap and require manual correction
  • Processing time increases with video length and resolution; batch processing may be needed for large projects
  • High-quality results demand significant computational resources, particularly for HD or 4K videos
  • Consistency across frames is generally strong, but minor artifacts may appear in fast-motion scenes
  • Positive feedback highlights the model’s realism and ease of use for both professionals and hobbyists
  • Common concerns include occasional mismatches in skin tone or lighting, and the need for manual review in complex scenes

Limitations

  • May struggle with videos featuring extreme head rotations, heavy occlusions, or very low lighting
  • Output quality is highly dependent on input image and video quality; poor inputs yield suboptimal results
  • Not optimal for real-time applications or live video due to processing requirements and latency

Pricing Detail

This model runs at a cost of $0.001080 per second.

The average execution time is 90 seconds, but this may vary depending on your input data.

The average cost per run is $0.097200

Pricing Type: Execution Time

Cost Per Second means the total cost is calculated based on how long the model runs. Instead of paying a fixed fee per run, you are charged for every second the model is actively processing. This pricing method provides flexibility, especially for models with variable execution times, because you only pay for the actual time used.
