"His face suddenly appeared in the video and it scared me.
Nowadays, many people are using AI to make videos about others. For example, if you want to make a sarcastic video about a certain star, or you want to make a funny short film that imitates a friend. In the past, you had to find a real person to appear on the screen, but now you use AI and it can be done in a few minutes.
How to do it specifically? Let's start with the most important thing: you need material. AI won't conjure faces out of thin air, you have to provide AI with some reference. For example, you can find someone's photo, Short Video, or take a few clear photos online. The more the better, the more similar AI will learn.
Then choose tools. There are tools on the market that specialize in AI face-changing, such as Runway, Deepfake software, and some new AI video generation platforms in China. These tools are not difficult to operate, and most of them have tutorials. You just need to throw in the prepared material, set the parameters, and let it learn.
The length of study time depends on the quality of the material. If the material is clear and the light is good, a first edition can be generated in a few minutes. If the material is blurred or the angle changes too much, it may take half an hour or more to wait. After generation, you can adjust details, such as eyes and expressions, to make them more natural.
But be aware that making such videos is risky. For example, if you use AI to generate an "indecent" video of a certain star, or imitate other people's actions to make a spoof, you may get into trouble. Many countries now have legislation prohibiting the use of AI to create content that may cause harm or false information. So, you have to follow the rules when playing.
In addition, the source of material is also important. If you use other people's photos or videos, it's best to get authorization in advance. Although AI tools themselves are not illegal, abuse can lead to infringement.
Nowadays, AI video technology is getting stronger and stronger. For example, some people use AI to generate news reports about their "passing" to defraud traffic; others use AI to imitate the voices of celebrities to commit fraud. These behaviors are worrying. So, technology is fun, but don't use it to do bad things.
If you just want to make interesting Short Video, such as imitating a friend and saying funny things, or using AI to dub old photos, that's fine. The key is to grasp the degree of kindness.
AI video production will become easier and easier. In the future, you may only need to enter a paragraph of text to generate corresponding facial movements and expressions. But at this stage, some technical thresholds are still needed. If you are a novice, you can start practicing with simple AI face-changing, such as using AI to change your face and say something.
In short, if you want to use AI to make videos about others, first prepare the materials, choose tools, and pay attention to the legal and moral bottom line. Have fun, but don't cross the line. "
