About this Pixelflow

What is Segmind Charm Collider?

Segmind Charm Collider puts the person from one photo into a video clip and keeps every move, expression, lip movement and camera move of the original. Creators use it to star in scenes, trends and memes. Studios and brands use it to recast a shot, make ad variants for each market or put a lead's face on a stand-in, without a reshoot.

Segmind Charm Collider is an AI video face and body swap that puts the person from one photo into a video clip. Give it a clip, a photo and a few words saying who to replace. It returns the same take with the new person in it: their face, hairstyle, skin tone and facial hair, with every movement, expression, lip movement and camera move from the original. The background and everyone else stay as they were. Then it finishes the take for posting or editing: your clip's exact length and frame rate, smooth motion, its grain and its sound.

How Segmind Charm Collider works

  1. 1

    Upload a clip

    Add one continuous shot with the person you want to replace.

  2. 2

    Add a photo

    A clear, front-facing photo of the face, of yourself or of someone who agreed to it.

  3. 3

    Say who to replace

    Describe the person in the clip, such as the young man with dark hair, and pick whose clothes to keep.

  4. 4

    Get the same take, recast

    Charm Collider returns your clip with the new person in it, at the clip's length and frame rate, with its sound.

You get

Charmed Clip

Put yourself in any video with one photo

For creators, fans and anyone who wants to be in the shot. Bring a clip and a selfie.

Star in a cinematic scene

Take the lead in a dramatic close-up, a chase or a trailer-style shot you have the rights to.

Trends, memes and reactions

Join a trending dance, skit or reaction format with your own face, on the original beat.

Surprise friends and family

Put a friend, with their OK, into a birthday, wedding or farewell video moment.

One take, many faces

Film a performance once, then put each member of your crew or series cast in it.

Recast an actor in a shot without a reshoot

For film, TV and ad studios. The performance, camera and set stay; the person changes.

Recasting and pickups

Replace an actor or an extra after the shoot has wrapped, keeping the take you already approved.

Ad variants for every market

Turn one licensed performance into versions with different on-screen talent, each with the talent's consent.

Stunt doubles and stand-ins

Put the lead's face on the double or stand-in, so the shot cuts with the rest of the scene.

Casting tests and pitches

See how a candidate reads in the role, or pitch a scene with the intended actor's look before the shoot.

Same length, same sound, ready to post or cut

The new take lands at your clip's length and frame rate with the clip's own audio.

  • Resolution

    720p by default. Pick 1080p for close-ups, or 480p for a quick test.

  • Exact length and frame rate

    The take is stretched back to your clip's exact duration and frame rate, with smooth optical-flow in-betweens.

  • Your sound

    The clip's own audio is put back, so the dialogue, music and lip sync line up.

  • Grain match

    The clip's grain is measured and added back, so the new face sits in the footage.

Segmind Charm Collider in detail

How to use it

  1. Upload your clip: 4 to 30 seconds, one continuous shot.
  2. Upload a photo of the person to put in it: a clear, front-facing photo cropped to the head works best. Clothes that show in the photo can come through.
  3. Say who to replace in Who, for example "the young man with dark hair" or "the woman in the red coat".
  4. Pick the outfit. The default keeps the clothes from the clip; "wear the clothes from the photo" dresses them as in the photo.
  5. Pick a resolution: leave it at 720p, pick 1080p for close-ups, or 480p for a quick test.
  6. Run.

Use your own clips and faces

Use clips you own or have the rights to, and a photo of yourself or of someone who has given permission. Don't use Charm Collider to impersonate anyone or to make content that misleads.

The example clip is from Tears of Steel (c) Blender Foundation, mango.blender.org, licensed under CC BY 3.0. The actor was replaced with a generated, fictional person.

  • Casting and previs teams

    See how an actor reads in a scene before anyone is booked.

Segmind Charm Collider FAQ

Building with it? Read the Segmind Charm Collider API docs.

What do I need to upload?

One video clip of a single continuous shot, one photo of the person to put in it, and a few words saying who in the clip to replace.

Does it keep the lip sync and the performance?

Yes. Every movement, expression and mouth shape comes from the clip, and the clip's own sound is put back, so the new person speaks the original lines in time.

Will the clothes change?

By default the clothes from the clip are kept, and the photo gives the face, hair, skin tone and facial hair. Clothes that show in the photo can still come through, so crop it to the head. Pick "wear the clothes from the photo" to dress them as in the photo instead.

Whose clips and photos can I use?

Use clips you own or have the rights to, and a photo of yourself or of someone who has given permission.

Which resolution should I pick?

720p is the default. Pick 1080p for close-ups and for shots where the face is small in the frame, and 480p for a quick test.

Can I run it from my own code?

Yes. The same inputs run through the async API: submit the request, then poll until it completes.
