Help! I can't get past End It just won't continue no matter how long I wait for.

[TheChrisManChan]

I followed every step but keep getting "no module named 'torch'" any ideas?

The Google Drive link with the checkpoints and arcface files doesn't exist anymore. How do I proceed with the vggface2 instead of these checkpoints and arcface files that doesn't exist anymore to download? Thanks!

Why does it always have to be so complicated 😅. I don’t want to be following a 50 steps tutorial, install third party software, and probably troubleshoot for an hour every time before I can finally try a software that I’m not sure I’m going to be using in the end.

Can you please make a NEW step-by-step tutorial?
They've changed so many things with new models and onnx so it's so much confusing to install now but supposed to be MUCH FASTER when making a video.
Thanks ahead! :)

Hi, I tried to follow this but I get stuck at this step: "pip install insightface==0.2.1 onnxruntime moviepy"
Something must have changed so the instruction no longer works. Can you please rerun this and see if you have any issue? Thank you.

What if it just doesn’t continue on end?

How to solve unable to create process using paths

[kalexkhan]

Would you, one day, do a tutorial for the Colab version? Please?

[DocCube]

Does this work with the rtx3090 ? I get to the part were you put the command to swap the face and it just sits there after the text.

[marcelldavis]

after "options" it says end. but it is not starting the process. thats for the last 10 minutes now. maybe it is still loading. i have no error or something like that. i will have a nap and look after that.

how to fix this:
'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have error " File "C:\Users\my_user_name\anaconda3\envs\simswap\lib\encodings\cp1251.py", line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input, self.errors, encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\xe0' in position 1153: character maps to <undefined>"

How I can make it work?

I get an error:

test_video_swapsingle.py: error: unrecognized arguments: and then the video name

How do i fix this?

[Arshwar]

When I get to the last step to actually create the video, I paste the code in and hit enter. The code runs and it gets to where it says and then it never starts building the video. No errors. Just a blinking cursor. Any ideas what I'm missing here? Everything else seemed to go smoothly. This tutorial is much appreciated!

They just launched an update to this yesterday with a few more features. Do I have to I stall everything again or is there a way to update something like this?
