There’s a new trend of AI videos going viral. In this, people are making videos in which they swap themselves with their favourite character. Everything remains the same, including the voice, the body movement, the background, and the lighting, except for the person in the video. And we know how advanced AI video creation has become. So much so that it would be really hard for someone less informed to tell whether it’s real or not. Nonetheless, you can also try it and have fun with the tool. Just follow the step-by-step guide below.

Swap Yourself in Videos With Anyone Using AI

Recently, many video generation platforms have emerged, specializing in face swapping. Especially since OpenAI has announced that Sora will be discontinued, many new and existing tools have gained popularity. The tool we will be using is KlingAI 2.6 from KIE API.

Steps to Replace Yourself in Videos With Anyone Using Kling AI

1. Record a video facing the camera. Then, take a screenshot of a frame from the video.

2. Open Google Gemini. Upload the screenshot along with the image of the character you want to replace yourself with. After that, copy this prompt and paste it in the chat:

“I am in the first image, and I want myself to be replaced with the person in the second image, everything else in my original image should be same, except me. Lighting should match, so that the image looks real, and the new person should be wearing his own clothes, not my clothes. The resolution of the final image should be the same as my first image“. Hit Enter.

3. The image will be generated featuring the character. Download it.

4. Open the Kling AI 2.6 Motion Control model. Scroll down a bit and remove the sample image under input_urls. Now, upload the image you generated on Gemini. Make sure the image file size is under 10 MB.

5. Scroll further and remove any sample video there. Then upload the video in which you’re facing the camera. Also, make sure the video file size is under 100 MB.

6. After that, scroll a bit and make sure ‘video’ is selected under character_orientation. Also, select the video quality under ‘mode’. As you hit ‘Run’, you will be asked to log in. You can log in with either your Google or Microsoft account. Click ‘Run’ again after logging in.

7. Processing will begin, and it will take around 8-10 minutes to generate the video.

Once the video is generated, download it and have fun sharing it with your friends and on social media. Meanwhile, keep in mind that you should avoid uploading your private photos or videos on platforms like these. Furthermore, you should not upload anyone’s images or videos without their consent or misuse the tool in any way.

Wrapping Up

Therefore, you should give it a go yourself. Moreover, for the best results, use a well-lit video and high-resolution images. To avoid distortions, avoid fast movements while shooting the video.
