In summary, the video discusses the use of a tool called Pixie.ai by Insight Face for face swapping in images, particularly in the context of generating YouTube thumbnails. The tool allows for more accessible and quicker face swaps in mid-journey images compared to previous methods. It claims to provide seamless face morphing using a single source image and a target picture. The video demonstrates the tool's usage, showing mixed results in generating images that closely resemble the user's face, depending on the initial image and prompt used. While it's seen as a promising tool, the user still prefers their current workflow for creating thumbnails, which involves multiple steps but yields more satisfactory results in terms of image quality.
1. The process of generating images with a person's face in them used to be nearly impossible unless the person was a famous celebrity.
2. A new method has been developed that allows anyone to generate images of themselves in mid-journey images.
3. The process involves using a company called pixie.ai, which claims to have a way to swap out any face on a mid-journey image.
4. The method involves generating an image with mid-journey and then pulling it into stable diffusion to train the face with dream booth.
5. The face that was trained with dream booth is then used to inject the face into the mid-journey image.
6. This method is time-consuming and was previously used to generate thumbnails for YouTube videos.
7. The new method claims to do pristine and seamless face morphing using just one clear image of the person as a source picture.
8. The method can merge multiple source faces together to create unique composite faces onto a target image.
9. The method can also animate faces and create GIFs from them if the user upgrades to their Pro Plan.
10. The method uses older open source models like Roop, which the creator of the video is familiar with.
11. The video creator is excited about the potential of this new method to speed up their workflow of injecting their face into images when making YouTube thumbnails.
12. The video creator is linked to a GitHub page where they will share the process of using this new method.
13. The video creator will also be sharing their real-time reactions as they try out this new method.
14. The video creator is also excited about the potential of this new method to generate images with their own face that look close to what they look like.
15. The video creator is also excited about the potential of this new method to generate images with their own face that look close to what they look like, even with different hairstyles or beards.
