OMG - this is awesome, Jay. I would love to see some more in-depth tutorials especially also on the AI tool you use to change images in combination with EBSynth.

Gahhh. Why do I keep failing to master this thing ?!
I keep doing something wrong.

Love this piece of software (as you know). Looking forward to more on this,

This is a new one to me - looks like it could be useful - many thanks for uploading 👍

EBSynth is great. Aging, de-aging, face swaps, digital makeup (like wounds or eye glows), stylizing, removing tracking markers... Tons of uses.

If the original plate of Tom is still available from FXhome's Cyborg tutorial that's a good bit of footage if you wanted to remove tracking markers. Just clean up one frame and you're done.

I used EBSynth to face swap myself with Nick Cage which worked... Only OK, but I didn't start with the best image of Cage (I should have picked a high res image of him and shot my plate to match that instead of shoot me and try and find a pic to match), and I was making really extreme facial expressions to try and see how far I could push it.

I should have the plate of me I used for the Quantum Stumble leap between you and I if you wanted to try for a face swap. Since I lit myself to match you and our glasses are similar, you should be able to get a pretty good match. Just be careful if you try to talk. Mouth movement can break EBSynth, but, here again, since the plate is me saying "I'm Jay Haynes for the Hitfilm Sensei YouTube channel, " you'd have reference frames with my mouth in the right position. More or less matched lighting, similar glasses, and me saying your intro line? You can't get a better setup to try an EBSynth face swap of my face and your hairline... Or vice versa!

My PC is still down but I can always borrow Laura's to scrape my drive and Dropbox that plate.

Or, you can track down the old Shia Lebeouf Greenscreen plates. Shia facing the camera and screaming "Just Do It!" also has all kinds of usefull source frames.

Still incredibly underrated, after all these years. I'm honestly baffled how development hasn't continued on this.

I get that it was pretty niche at the time and not many people saw the potential, but with all these new AI tools, I'm shocked the dev isn't active. They seem to have switched their attention to color mixing science for drawing tablets... Hopefully some big company will at least buy out this tech or invent something new that does it better.

Feels really strange to be using a 3-year-old abandonwear beta to do cutting edge work.

How do you add more than one keyframe, ?
