How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour
You can create your own version of this template directly in Magic Hour by starting from the same workflow:
Open the Face Swap Video tool
Go to the Face Swap Video page. This is the core tool used to build this template.Upload your base video
- Use a clip with a clear view of the subject’s face
- Avoid heavy motion blur or faces turned fully away from the camera
- Ideal for talking heads, interviews, vlogs, reactions, and simple scenes
Upload the face you want to swap in
- Use a high-quality portrait or selfie with good lighting
- Make sure the face is not heavily occluded by hair, glasses, or masks
- For consistent campaigns, reuse the same reference face across multiple videos
Generate your Face Swap video
- Magic Hour detects the face in your base video and replaces it with the reference face
- The model automatically handles facial alignment, expressions, and head movement
Download and repurpose
- Export your video and use it directly
- Or bring it into other Magic Hour products for further transformation (e.g., Video Upscaler or Auto Subtitle Generator)
You can repeat this process with different reference faces to rapidly version-test concepts, A/B test creators, or localize content for different markets.
