“I’m Not Leaving” Face Swap Video Template

Create a high-impact “I’m Not Leaving” scene with your own face (or someone else’s) in just a few clicks. This template uses Magic Hour’s AI Face Swap to put you directly into the shot, ready for memes, reaction clips, campaigns, or viral social posts.

What This Template Does

This template recreates an “I’m not leaving”–style moment of absolute commitment. You drop in a source video, swap the face with your chosen identity, and instantly get a personalized clip you can share anywhere.

It’s built for:

• Short-form content on TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts
• Reaction / stitched content for Twitter, Discord, Reddit
• Startup, product, or campaign memes (“We’re not pivoting”, “We’re not shutting down”)
• Inside jokes for teams, friends, or communities

How It Works (Face Swap in Magic Hour)

The template runs on Magic Hour’s production-grade AI Face Swap model. Under the hood, it uses deep learning to track facial structure, pose, and expressions frame-by-frame, then reconstructs the target face so it matches lighting, angle, and motion in the original video.

In practice, that gives you:

• High realism: Facial expressions, blinking, and head turns stay natural.
• Consistency across frames: No random flicker or “face jumping” from frame to frame.
• Strong identity preservation: The swapped face still looks like the person you uploaded.

How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can use this template out-of-the-box, or treat it as a starting point and fully remix it. A typical workflow in Magic Hour looks like:

1. Start from the Face Swap experience
   Open the Face Swap Video Creator. This is where you’ll load the base “I’m Not Leaving” clip (or your own source video) and apply your face.
2. Upload your base video
   Use:
   • The provided “I’m Not Leaving” template clip, or
   • Any short video where someone is clearly in frame delivering a strong line or reaction.
3. Add the face to swap in
   Upload a clear face image (or several) of the person you want in the scene. Use:
   • Front-facing, well-lit photos for best results
   • Unobstructed faces (no heavy filters, masks, or large sunglasses)
   If you need high-quality faces, you can generate them with:
   • Avatar Generator
   • AI Selfie Generator
4. Generate and refine
   Run the face swap and preview the result. If the result isn’t what you want, try:
   • A higher-resolution or more front-facing reference image
   • A different source clip where the subject’s face is larger in frame
5. Export and repurpose
   Download your video and repurpose it:
   • Turn into a GIF with AI GIF Generator or Face Swap GIF
   • Upscale it with Video Upscaler for sharper social content
   • Add captions using the Auto Subtitle Generator

Advanced Remix Ideas for Creators & Teams

If you’re a creator, marketer, or startup builder, you can push this template much further:

• Campaign memes: Swap your founder, mascot, or fictional character into the “I’m Not Leaving” scene to announce “we’re staying independent,” “we’re not raising prices,” or “we’re not shipping a half-baked feature.”
• Product launches: Combine this clip with Text-to-Video or Image-to-Video content to create multi-shot launch teasers.
• Internal team culture: Drop your teammates’ faces into the scene for “We’re not leaving this sprint until it ships”–style clips in Slack or Notion.
• Fan edits and character swaps: Use Video to Video to stylize the original shot (cartoon, anime, cinematic), then run Face Swap on top for stylized, on-brand memes.

Combine with Other Magic Hour Tools

To build more complex or branded versions of this template, you can chain other Magic Hour tools:

• Lip Sync – turn your “I’m Not Leaving” clip into a perfectly synced talking-head with any voiceover or line you want.
• AI Talking Photo – create a still talking version (for profile pics, mascots, or founders) that promises “We’re not leaving.”
• AI Voice Generator and AI Voice Cloner – pair your face swap with a consistent synthetic voice.
• AI Image Editor and Image Background Remover – clean up or re-style reference photos before you use them as face inputs.
• Animation and Animated Characters Generator – turn the “I’m Not Leaving” moment into a fully animated character scene.

Best Practices for High-Quality Face Swaps

To get stable, realistic results:

• Use high-resolution source video: The subject’s face should be reasonably large and clear in the frame.
• Match head orientation: If the original actor turns or tilts their head, choose reference images where your subject does something similar.
• Avoid heavy filters: Strong beauty filters, AR masks, or extreme color grading in the reference image can reduce realism.
• Respect rights and consent: Only swap faces you have the right to use. For commercial work, ensure you have permission from the people whose likeness you feature.

Ethical & Brand-Safe Use

Face swap technology is powerful and should be used responsibly:

• Obtain consent from individuals when using their faces, especially for public or commercial content.
• Avoid misleading or harmful edits, including content that could damage reputations or be confused with authentic footage.
• Label creative edits clearly when used in marketing, comedy, or fan content so viewers understand it’s AI-generated.

Who This Template Is For

This “I’m Not Leaving” template is built for:

• Creators who want fast, meme-ready, shareable clips.
• Marketing teams running social campaigns, product drops, or culture marketing.

• Community managers making in-jokes and reaction clips for Discord, Telegram, Reddit, or internal chats.

Next Steps

1. Open the Face Swap Video Creator.
2. Load an “I’m Not Leaving”–style clip or your own reaction video.
