How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can use this template as-is, or treat it as a starting point and customize it in a few steps:

  1. Start from the Face Swap template

  2. Add or change your source video

    • Upload a clip containing the face you want to replace (for example: host, actor, or presenter).
    • For more stylized content, you can first transform your video with Video to Video, then apply this Face Swap template on top.

  3. Set the target face

    • Upload a clean, front-facing image of the new face you want to insert.
    • For better results, use:
      • Good lighting and sharp focus
      • Minimal obstructions (no heavy sunglasses, etc.)
    • You can generate new faces with tools like:

  4. Preview, refine, and export

    • Generate a preview, verify that expressions and angles look natural, then export your final video.
    • If the base video is low-resolution, improve clarity with the Video Upscaler before or after face swapping.

  5. Chain with other AI tools (optional)

    • Add lip movements to the swapped face with Lip Sync.
    • Turn a static portrait into a talking character using AI Talking Photo, then integrate that into your flows.
    • Convert images into short clips with Image to Video and apply face swaps for rapid creative testing.

Because this template runs inside Magic Hour, you don’t need to manage models, GPUs, or pipelines—just configure inputs and run.

Best Practices for High-Quality Face Swaps

To get production-ready results that work across devices and platforms:

  • Use clean, focused source videos

    • Stable framing and clear lighting make swaps more consistent.
    • Avoid extreme motion blur for critical shots.

  • Match angles and expressions when possible

    • Choose reference faces with similar pose and expression to your base video for smoother, more realistic swaps.

  • Respect rights and policies

    • Only use faces you have legal permission to use (your own, licensed, or synthetic).
    • Follow platform rules for synthetic media disclosure; many social and ad platforms now require it.

  • Upscale and refine when needed

For more extensive creative control, combine this template with:
