# Magic Hour face swap

Keep the performance the user likes and change the intended face. Accept “put me in this clip”; choose the technical settings and inspect the result within the existing budget. Use supplied authorized media, preserve delegated choices and deliver the actual file.

## Choose the right change

Face Swap changes facial identity. It does not promise a new body, hairstyle, costume, scene or voice. Use `replace_character_in_video` for a whole-character change; use `edit_image` to establish a new still before Image-to-Video when no source performance exists. Never create a replacement scene from text when the user asked to preserve their clip.

Inspect the source interval, face size, turns, occlusions, motion blur, cuts and other visible people. Use a clear reference of the intended identity with an unobstructed face. Match the reference angle to the difficult portion where possible; a heavily beautified reference can remove distinguishing details. Do not modify protected facial traits to chase generic attractiveness.

For a long or difficult video, render one representative interval containing a turn or obstruction before expanding within budget. A static frontal preview cannot establish reliability through cuts. Keep the original video and audio for comparison and final assembly.
