How to Use "Eyes in Film Edit"

1. Face Detection and Tracking

   • To start, you'll need to detect the face in your video using the ellipse tool. This tool helps you create a mask around the face, which is essential for tracking and replacing facial features.
   • Once you've set the mask mode to none, right-click the mask and select "Track Mask." Choose the detailed features tracking method and click the analysis button to begin the tracking process.

2. Extracting Face Measurements

   • After tracking, find a neutral face pose where there are no odd facial expressions. Place a marker on the tracker tab and select "Rest Pose." Then, extract and copy face measurements to prepare for the face replacement process.

3. Replacing Faces

   • With the extracted measurements, you can now use any preset from the Face Tools library. Open the replacement comp and insert the photo of the person you want to replace the face with. Place the photo so that it matches the reference outlines of the original face.

4. Puppet Points and Rigging

   • To ensure accurate placement, use puppet pin tools to pin the points on the holder composition in the same order as the markers are numbered. This step is crucial for correct positioning and rigging of the face.

5. Alpha Map and Color Correction

   • Hide unnecessary parts of the photo by setting alpha map mode by face mask layer. Adjust the size and position of the face layer based on the original image. Use curves and tent effects for color correction to match the original footage's lighting and tone.

6. Fine-Tuning Facial Features

   • To improve realism, especially during dynamic scenes like speaking or turning heads, use the eyes, nose, and mouth of the original footage. Transform these parts to match the target face by adjusting their position and shape using the transform preset in Motion Bro.

7. Final Touches

   • Once you've corrected the eyes, nose, and mouth, apply pupils preset for eye color correction. Add curves effect to adjust the tent and shape of the masks to match the target face's features. This step ensures that your final result looks natural and engaging.

Tips and Tricks

• Tracking Success: The more central the faces are, the easier the track will be. Ensure that your tracking points are accurate for a seamless transformation.
• Customization: Face Swap allows for extensive customization. You can change the eyes, nose, and mouth to create unique and creative effects. These features are stackable, allowing you to combine multiple effects for a more dramatic look.
