How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can recreate or customize a Steph Curry-style face swap workflow using Magic Hour’s tools. Here’s a practical, repeatable process:

1. Start with Face Swap Video
   
   • Go to Face Swap Video.
   • Upload the video you want to convert into a Steph Curry edit—this can be:
     • Your own basketball footage or B-roll
     • Reaction content, podcasts, or talking-head clips (with permission)
     • Brand or campaign videos that need a basketball twist
2. Apply the Steph Curry Face
   
   • Use a high-quality Steph Curry-style face image as the source for the swap.
   • Upload a clear, front-facing image with good lighting for the best tracking and realism.
   • The AI automatically maps facial features, expressions, and head movement onto your video.
3. Refine Your Edit
   
   • Preview your output and make sure the face swap tracks cleanly through key moments (shots, reactions, celebrations).
   • Trim or re-cut your base video in your usual editor if you want a snappier TikTok/Shorts edit, then re-upload for the final swap.
4. Add Motion, Lip Sync, or Alternate Styles (Optional)
   Extend the template into a full motion system for your content:
   • Talking Steph Curry Edits: Use Lip Sync or AI Talking Photo to make your Steph Curry face talk to scripted or cloned audio.
   • Stylized or Animated Versions: Feed your Steph Curry edit into:
     • Video to Video for stylized transformations (anime, comic, cinematic looks).
     • Animation or Animated Characters Generator to build animated Steph-inspired content for intros and explainers.
   • Short Loops & Memes: Export short moments as GIFs using the Face Swap GIF or AI GIF Generator tools.
5. Finalize for Distribution
   
   • Use Video Upscaler if you need higher resolution for YouTube or large screens.
   • Generate consistent branding assets (avatars, icons, cover art) for your Steph Curry series using:
     • Avatar Generator
     • AI Icon Generator
     • Thumbnail Maker

Best Practices for High-Quality Steph Curry Face Swaps

• Use Clean, High-Resolution Footage
  Face swap quality is heavily influenced by:
  • Resolution of the source video (higher is better)
  • Stable lighting and clear facial visibility
  • Minimal occlusions (hands, microphones, masks covering the face)
  High-quality source material yields more realistic Steph Curry edits.
• Prioritize Clear Facial Angles
  For the best result, choose clips where the subject:
  • Faces the camera for key moments
  • Is not heavily shadowed or backlit
  • Does not turn completely away from frame for long periods
• Polish Key Frames and Thumbnails
  
  • Grab stills from your best moments and refine them using:
    • AI Image Editor for quick touch-ups
    • AI Image Generator or AI Art Generator to create custom backgrounds or overlays
  • Use Image Background Remover or Remove Object from Photo to clean up cluttered scenes.
• Stay Compliant and Respectful
  When working with recognizable individuals and public figures:
  • Ensure you have rights to the footage you upload.
  • Follow platform policies (e.g., TikTok, YouTube, Instagram) for AI-generated and edited media.
  • Use clear labeling (e.g., “AI edit”, “face swap”) when appropriate to avoid misleading viewers.
  Major platforms are evolving guidelines around synthetic media; staying transparent helps maintain trust with your audience.
