Workflow Process for Deep Fake Videos

Deep fake videos have become increasingly popular in recent years, and many people are interested in learning how to Create them. One of the biggest questions that people have when making these videos is about the workflow process. In this article, we will share our workflow process that we have found to work pretty well.

Extracting Full FPS

The first step in the workflow process is to extract the full FPS (frames per Second) from the target video. To do this, You will need to drop down into the DFL root menu and select "Extract Full FPS." This process can take some time, so be patient.

Automatic Face Set Extraction

Once you have extracted the full FPS, the next step is to extract the face set. We recommend using an automatic face set extraction tool and selecting the GPU. Make sure to select "Whole Face" and the default options for 512, 90 JPEG.

Alignments

After you have extracted the face set, you will need to check the alignments. Look for images that didn't extract properly or images that you don't want. You can eliminate the images you don't want by deleting them.

Debugging Masks

The next step is to debug the masks. Go to the aligned debug folder and use an add-on application called Image Glass to inspect the masks. Look for missing masks or images where the mask is messed up. Delete the images you don't want and run the process again.

Creating X-Egg Masks

Once you have debugged the masks, you can create the X-Egg masks. Trace out the whole face and trace it right to the edge of the hair or where there is a heavy shadow line. This is important because when you're doing a whole face replacement, it looks so much better than if you just do a partial face.

Training Masks

After you have created the X-Egg masks, you will need to train the masks. We recommend training the masks to about 300 iterations. This will create X-Seg masks for every single image.

Applying Masks

Once you have trained the masks, you will need to Apply them. This is important because if you don't apply them, the mask isn't doing anything. You can apply the masks by clicking on "Apply."

Training the Model

The next step is to train the model. Adjust the settings as needed and let it run for several hours. You will need to go frame by frame to make any adjustments that you need to make.

Merging

The final step is to merge the images. Use the mask mode that you use most often and go through and make any adjustments that you need to make. You can use the color transfer mode to adjust the color as needed.

Tips for Masking

When you're masking, you have two options. You can mask to simply exclude the object or you can mask to also exclude the mouth and lips. The reason that you might want to do that is that you might want an image of the mouth or what's in the mouth. You should also keep an eye on your GPU temperature and keep it below 65C.

Pros and Cons of Deep Fake Videos

There are both pros and cons to creating deep fake videos. On the one HAND, they can be a lot of fun to create and can be a great way to learn new skills. On the other hand, they can be used to spread misinformation and can be harmful if used inappropriately.

Conclusion

Creating deep fake videos can be a lot of fun, but it's important to use them responsibly. By following the workflow process that we have outlined in this article, you can create high-quality deep fake videos that look realistic and seamless.

FAQ

Q: What is a deep fake video? A: A deep fake video is a video that has been manipulated using artificial intelligence to make it look like someone else is saying or doing something that they didn't actually say or do.

Q: Is it legal to create deep fake videos? A: It depends on the context. In some cases, creating deep fake videos can be illegal, especially if they are used to spread misinformation or harm someone's reputation.

Q: What are some tips for creating realistic deep fake videos? A: Some tips for creating realistic deep fake videos include using high-quality source material, paying attention to lighting and shadows, and using a high-quality AI model.
