Source and destination videos requirements

• High resolution (4k webm is best, lower than 1080p is not recommended)
• Faces not too far from camera and unobstructed
• Multiple angles, facial expressions
• Brightly and evenly lit
• Faces should somewhat match (beard, hat, hair, skin color, shape, glasses)
• Need at least 2 mins of good quality video, interview videos work well

Downloading the software

We will use DeepFaceLab to create the deepfakes. Another software, FaceSwap is also available, and will have a separate tutorial.

• Download DeepFaceLab
  • Make sure to pick the right build for your GPU. If you don’t have a GPU, use the CLSSE build
  • Here’s the direct link
  • In that folder, you will find some pre-compiled face-sets. Go ahead and download one of them to get started quickly (otherwise you will have to build your own face-set from videos / images)
• The downloaded .exe will extract and install the program to the location of your choosing.
  • A workspace folder will be created. This is the folder where all the action will happen.
