So, once again - this is a tutorial for After Effects. This is not for DeepFaceLab. This is not for FaceApps like on your iPhone/Android. This tutorial is exclusively for After Effects and I currently do not use other software for make VFX. Before creating this tutorial, I looked for on TH-cam other face replacement tutorials (After Effects only). Maybe I was looking badly, but I could not find a tutorials with the result better than in this video. I am talking about standard After Effects features. AE Face Tools - is not a plugin. It just an extension that simplifies the task for expressions with Puppet Points. That is, if you understand how it works - you can do without AE Face Tools. If you need a much better result, please use other solutions.
I've been dealing with assembly and animation for a long time, I have never seen this in the patch, but to do this, take a famous person like legal crime and do it. People are amazed.:D
This is an amazing tutorial, thanks so much for this. It's not long winded and I can just about keep up with it if I pause it now and again. I bought the plug in, which, normally I'd be dead against. Really looking forward to having some fun now. Keep posting 👍
like now its not a nightmare))) well maybe not for a woman now after using faceapp and switching gander i understand hum much desperate hungry miserable males are there. no wonder 99% woman today have megalomania 😂
I mean you have a point, but on a smartphone the app connects to an AI network to be done on their server not the smartphone. It's basically connecting to their computer through the app. If there was a desktop app that you could do the same with it would be so much easier but you usually have less creative control.
Hi there, I seem to be stuck at 02:30. I've clicked rig but it sends me back to the website to buy the AE Face Tools website. Do I need to reinstall the tools and presets or actually buy the license for $45? When looking at my file directory, I can find the Tools folder with the file RIG.cus_rul. I have the newest version of everything. Just yesterday, I installed adobe products cloud suit, motion bro 3.0.3, and the AE face tools free demo pack.
The video says I can follow along with the free version but when you click 'Rig' @2:34 it directs you to the paid version??? How am I supposed to test the free version to see if it works before I buy it if I can't even do the one task? :(
Amazing work man , I wish there was preimere version that has some easy to use features , like drag and drop - eye size , nose size , eyes color change and with presets baked in . You can see in galaxy phones you could acually use the gallery editor to reduce jaw linen, Smooth skin , increase eye size and its only 1 slider per effect. if youd release something of that nature that is time efficent and Not as drastic but more of a face enhancing tool , Id def buy it
*** To Find Slit Layer **** look in the motion bro window, find "Make Up holder" which is right above "Face Replacement" apply make up holder. double click on holder layer, inside there you will find the slit layer. copy past layer where you need it, delete the make up holder that was applied.
1:22 Here you have "Slit Mask" in Replacement Comp Holder" But I don't have this, how can I get this, because without this I can not differentiate masks like "eyes" "nose" and "mouth" you shown in 3:59 - 4:32. Please Help me fix this, I followed your steps three times, but I don't get this "Layer named: Slit Mask"
Dude this video is complicated. You could have zoom in at the time you select any option and explain it all in steps so that viewers could understand better.It is a bit difficulty even for a person who is computer friendly. Apart from this whatever you are telling is good. Thank you dude for the video and will be awaiting for you to upload one more video simlar to this one.
I'm having trouble with this tool. I can successfully track the original face (face tracking points move with the facial movements), and finally got a face to track for the replacement comp. However, the final result is always that the position of the new face moves horizontally and vertically, but none of the facial gestures are visible. It is as if the puppet pins are ignored, and just vertical/horizontal tracking is transferred to the new face. Very frustrating...
Hi, can I use a few seconds of this video in one of mine? Just to explain an effect we can make today but not in the past. I surely will cite your video in the description. Let me know thanks!
Recently downloaded the demo and looks like eyes, mouth, nose and any mesh after puppet pins and even rigging is disabled...this normal on the demo? Rig button (the automation of expressions and I think the heart of this extension instead opens up a page to buy. I assume we need the full version to complete any demo-type example of trying out a face replacement to see how well this works? Any way to demo full process to face replace without buying? I would be ok with the eyes mouth and other not working, but be good to see the expressions generate and that the pins all connect up as a trial to test. Understood this is not deep fake but rather a half way point or option for certain cases where it pulls off the same or near result
i followed your tutorial and the extension is not working. At least not for me. Th extension doesn't RIG the photo. It moves accordingly to the movie behind, but neither lips nor eyebrows are moving? Can you help me with this problem. And I guess I'm not the only one with such issue. Thx
This is an AMAZING attribute and is EXACTLY what I needed. My problem is, though, with the 2020 AE, the layout is different, and no matter which workspace I use, there is no "Motion Bro" panel on the right. Although I have the tracking points for the facial features, I cannot figure out how to apply said assets to the photograph so that the image will match the movements of the man's face in the video clip. What am I doing incorrectly?
*Hi videolancer, why is my [Repalcement Comp - Holder] stuck on the upper left of the composition? I can move it to the right spot but it doesn't follow the face. Nothing happens...*
Does anybody know what the problem is when i hit rig, nothing happens. Ither than that everything is like in the video ( face tracking, puppet points etc)
I purchased this product and does a real good job and does a lot of the hard work for you. Is the a way add different hair with side burns , such as using a .png image, yet move with the head in the same way the face does?
Do this solution * apply another effect on video like (Makeup Holder -- Face -- Adjustment). * (may be After effects close and error message will appear) open it again you will see new backup file opened and the comp was created. * open comp then Makeup Holder and you will find slit mask layer. * copy it into replacement comp -- replacement comp holder. *thats it :)*
What happens when your talent changes the direction they're facing? Does the rigging follow, or does everything kind of fall apart? This tutorial was fascinating and useful for a project I'm working on, but I'm curious to know the limits of this technique since we only saw an example of replacing the face of someone looking directly at the camera with a picture of someone who was also looking straight at the camera. Fantastic work! Subbed just for this video.
What does one do if the Replacement Comp tracking (01:44 in the tutorial) is not successful and reference image isn't working? My initial face tracking seems to be fine. I then tracked the mask in the place holder comp, but I do not get any tracking points for the puppet pins. The reference image shows only three tracking points and no reference image (02:00 in the tutorial). The second time I tried this, I did get tracking points, but they were scrunched down to about 1/20th the size of the replacement image, and way off the lower right of the image. They appear that way in the reference points comp, but once again there is no reference image. Is there an image size limitation to Face Tools? I am editing a 3840x2160 video.
@@editsofthearrowverse3558 you just gotta search face replacement in after effects and you have to look for the video in which thumbnail shows face replacement of Will Smith with Obama he shows how to get the slit mask. Reply me to tell whether it works for you or not.
Hi! I downloaded Motion Bro 3.0.3. version and I've got the latest version of After Effects too. Still, when I try to use the RIG tool it says "Can not find puppets on the selected layer". I've tried everything so far but the problem is not solved yet. Could you help me, please? It's very important.
In the After Effects program folder, we are looking for the “AMT" folder. In it we find a file with the name application.xml and open it in edit mode. Next, in the file we find the line installed Languages and change its value to en_US
I love this tool! But, what if I want to keep the hair of the face I'm putting on the video? Like, how would you keep Leo's hair, instead of the hair from the video?
At 1:10, When I click "Face Replacement", the window doesn't look like that. I updated Motion Bro. But it basically Says "replacement Comp" And under it is a window with an old guy on it that I can click "Apply" on. When I c lick Apply, it says, "For this preset, you need to select the layer with the tracked face. It is selected, but that's where I cannot continue.
For me the Footage does not come in the replacement comp & the replacement Replacement comp Holder is being placed in the top corner. Am I missing something?
I'm a total newbie, and I got totally stuck at the "motio bro" part. I have it installed on my computer, and when I click on "windows" in AE, it shows it in "extensions"; however, when I click on it, it tells me to go to settings and click "change path", but the settings for it are not working. I'm in the trial period for AE, and I don't think I will subscribe to it after it's over bc it does seem more complicated than I expected.
@videolancer: Is it normal that the demo version does not have a functional 'RIG' function for face replacement? If I click it, after have tracked data and pin setup, I get linked to the website?
