Introduction
Hello, everyone! Welcome to Alpha's Channel. I'm Chen Shiyuan, and I'm delighted that You've clicked on this video. On my channel, I mainly introduce practical mobile phones, apps, software, and Website tools and share them with all of you. In a previous video, I introduced one of DeepBank's incredible software, Ghost, which is a free and open-source software. If you're interested, you can check it out. Today, I would like to share another software from DeepBank called Loop. Like Ghost, Loop is also free and open-source. It allows you to easily swap faces in videos by simply uploading the face you want to replace and the target video. However, since it is relatively new and recently open-sourced, the resolution might not be as high as desired. In this article, I will guide you through the installation process of Loop on Windows 10 using GPU and also introduce an alternative way to use Loop through Code Lab. Let's get started!
About DeepBank
DeepBank is a software development company that specializes in creating innovative applications for mobile devices and computers. They aim to provide users with practical and useful tools, such as face-swapping software, like Loop and Ghost.
Introducing Loop - A Free and Open-Source Software
Loop is a powerful face-swapping software developed by DeepBank. It allows you to effortlessly replace faces in videos by uploading the face you want to use and the target video. Loop is free and open-source, making it accessible to everyone. However, as it has just been open-sourced, the image resolution might not be as high as expected. Despite this limitation, Loop is a convenient tool for creating fun and creative videos.
Installing Loop with GPU on Windows 10
To install Loop on Windows 10, you need to follow a few steps. This installation method requires a GPU (NVIDIA) for better performance and faster processing. Here's how you can install Loop:
Step 1: Installing Visual Studio C++ Packages
The first step in installing Loop is to install the Visual Studio C++ packages. These packages provide the necessary tools and libraries required by Loop. Here's how you can install them:
- Go to the official Windows website and search for "Build Tools for Visual Studio."
- Download and install the Build Tools for Visual Studio Package.
- After the installation is complete, open the Visual Studio Installer.
- Select the "Desktop development with C++" option.
- Click on the "Install" button to install the necessary packages.
Step 2: Installing CUDA Toolkit
Next, you need to install the CUDA Toolkit, which is essential for running Loop with GPU acceleration. Follow these steps to install the CUDA Toolkit:
- Visit the NVIDIA website and navigate to the CUDA Toolkit download page.
- Choose the appropriate options for Windows, X86, and Windows 10.
- Download the EXE file and run the installer.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Step 3: Installing CUDNN
After installing the CUDA Toolkit, you need to install CUDNN. Please note that creating a developer account is required to download CUDNN. Here's how you can install CUDNN:
- Create a developer account on the NVIDIA website.
- Login to your account and navigate to the CUDNN download page.
- Download the CUDNN package compatible with your system.
- Run the installer and follow the installation instructions.
Step 4: Setting Up Anaconda and MiniConda
To aid in the installation process, we recommend using Anaconda and MiniConda. Follow these steps to set them up:
- Visit the official MiniConda website and download the installation package for Windows.
- Run the installation package and follow the instructions to install MiniConda.
- Once installed, open MiniConda from the Start menu.
- Create a new virtual environment by typing "conda create -n Loop" and pressing enter.
- Activate the environment by typing "conda activate Loop" and pressing enter.
Step 5: Installing Git and FFMPEG Packages
Loop requires Git and FFMPEG packages to function properly. Here's how you can install them:
- Open the Windows Terminal (PowerShell) from the Start menu.
- Copy and paste the following command:
choco install git ffmpeg
- Press enter to execute the command.
- Once installed, you can verify the installations by running
git --version
and ffmpeg -version
commands in the Windows Terminal.
Step 6: Using Loop with Code Lab
Alternatively, you can use Loop with Code Lab, a simple and user-friendly platform that provides ready-made scripts for running applications. Here's how to use Loop with Code Lab:
- Copy the Code Lab GitHub repository link for Loop.
- Open Code Lab and click on "Open in Code Lab."
- Follow the instructions provided in Code Lab to set up Loop.
- Run each step sequentially to complete the installation process.
- After the setup is complete, you can upload your own photos and videos and see the face-swapping results.
