Keywords

AI face swap

AI face swap refers to the technology that uses artificial intelligence to replace one person's face with another in a digital image or video. In the context of the video, it is a feature that has been updated in the mid-journey platform, allowing users to perform face swaps directly within the application. The script demonstrates how to use this feature to create a face swap using an original image and a newly generated image from the mid-journey bot.

Mid-journey

Mid-journey is described as a powerful AI texture image generator. It is the platform where the face swap feature is being updated and used. The video provides a tutorial on how to set up and use mid-journey for face swapping, indicating that it is a central tool for generating the images required for the process.

Discord

Discord is a communication platform that is used in the script to set up and manage the mid-journey server and to interact with the mid-journey and face swap bots. It is where the user needs to join the mid-journey community and create a server to use the face swap feature, as illustrated in the step-by-step guide provided in the video transcript.

Mid-journey bot

The mid-journey bot is an automated program that is integrated into the Discord server and used to generate images for the face swap feature. It responds to user commands and creates images based on the prompts provided by the user. In the video, the bot is utilized to generate a new image that will be used in conjunction with the face swap process.

Face swap bot

The face swap bot is another automated program that is invited to the Discord server to perform the actual face swapping process. It works in conjunction with the mid-journey bot to take the original image and the newly generated image to create a face swap. The script details the process of inviting this bot to the server to enable the face swap functionality.

Server

In the context of the video, a server refers to a virtual space within the Discord platform where users can interact with various bots, including the mid-journey and face swap bots. The user is instructed to create their own server and invite the necessary bots to it to facilitate the face swap process.

Save ID

Save ID is a command used within the Discord server to store an identifier for the image that will be used in the face swap. In the script, the user is instructed to type 'save ID' and then select the original image to be used for the face swap, which is a crucial step in preparing the images for the swapping process.

Slash imagine

Slash imagine is a command used to invoke the mid-journey bot to generate a new image based on the prompts provided by the user. The video transcript describes using this command with specific prompts to create an image that will be used for the face swap, demonstrating how users can generate custom images for their projects.

Cyber Punk

Cyber Punk is a genre of science fiction that is characterized by advanced technological and scientific achievements, juxtaposed with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order. In the video, it is used as a prompt for the mid-journey bot to generate an image with a cyber punk theme, which will then be used as the swapped face in the face swap process.

Ultra realistic and 4K

These terms refer to the quality and resolution of the generated image. 'Ultra realistic' indicates that the image should appear as lifelike as possible, while '4K' refers to the ultra-high definition resolution of the image, which is four times the resolution of 1080p. In the video, these are used as prompts to guide the mid-journey bot in creating a highly detailed and high-resolution image for the face swap.

Upres

Upres is short for 'upresolution,' which is the process of increasing the resolution of an image or video. In the context of the video, the user can choose to upres an image generated by the mid-journey bot to improve its resolution and quality before using it in the face swap. This is demonstrated in the script when the user selects an image and chooses to upres it for better quality.

In Swapper

In Swapper is a software application or tool mentioned in the video that is used to perform the face swap between the original image and the generated image. The user is shown how to use this tool by right-clicking on the chosen image and selecting the 'In Swapper' option to create the face swap result.
