Why You Should Learn It

First and foremost, it's important to clarify that we do not endorse the unethical use of deepfake technology whatsoever.

That being said, for content creators and digital marketers, understanding and experimenting with tools like FaceFusion is a worthwhile endeavour as it can:

  1. Prepare you for a new wave in video editing

  2. Position you as an early adopter of this cutting-edge technique

The Bigger Picture

As deepfakes become more prevalent, the ability to discern between real and manipulated content will become increasingly crucial.

Your firsthand experience with FaceFusion can serve as a practical case study, enabling you to educate yourself and your audience about the responsible use of such technology.

GETTING STARTED

How to Install FaceFusion

Without a doubt, the FaceFusion install will be the biggest hurdle for most readers looking to test out this tool.

That’s because it does require some technical know-how.

However, the technical aspects are straightforward if you closely follow the setup instructions outlined on GitHub.

Also, before you get started, you will need to set up a Python environment on your computer.

Watch this video if you do not know how to do that — don’t worry, this too is relatively simple.

If you're familiar with coding basics or want to go the manual route (option 1)

If you're familiar with coding basics and have Python installed on your computer, follow these GitHub installation instructions.

If you're NOT familiar with coding basics (option 2)

If you're unfamiliar with coding or simply seeking a faster setup alternative, head over to Pinokio.

What is Pinokio?

Pinokio is a browser that automatically lets you install, run, and programmatically control any application.

The browser's key advantage is that it lets you download AI GitHub projects like FaceFusion with one click, bypassing the need for complex terminal commands.

That means avoiding all the “developer stuff,” including git clone, pip install, and conda install.

WARNING

Pinokio is a new open-source product with a somewhat lengthy setup process.

We have been experimenting with it for fast GitHub installations. So far, we love it. However, do keep in mind that we test products like this on a computer where there is NO PERSONAL INFORMATION stored.

So, we do recommend you consider the safety risks and review the product and its Discord channel to ensure it's a good fit for you.
