Howto swap faces

[swede2000]

Hi,
Can't find any tutorial how to change faces in a video (put my face in the video) and following the movement in the video. Any hints?

Not the easiest thing to do - especially if you are new to VideoStudio

basically you need a picture of your face - ideally on a transparent background

then put your video in the timeline and use "track motion" selecting the other persons face to be tracked - and using your own face as the tracker

but it will be a bit hit and miss especially if the original person moves away from the camera and back towards again so that the apparent size of their head changes - and the size of your head doesn't

you need to do a lot of practising - but track motion is your basic tool

Using the chroma key facility to add your face over the original would probably help too

Thank You for a quick reply! I think I've got the idea.
