This will make consistent characters sooooo much easier!
the one thing we'll keep running into is consistent clothes. My "fix" for that is by giving REALLY simple instructions like: black tee-shirt, or red dress. Sadly, no one in AI images are going to be winning fashion awards!
I must say as a new subscriber as of today that I greatly enjoy your witty humour as well as your knowledge of midjourney
Great vid, Tim! Always super well presented and doing the hard work for me
My pleasure! It isn’t work if it’s fun!
This was super rad. Thank you. I've been looking for this workflow, and you finally gave it to me. And it does work.
excellent to hear! Tomorrow: Video workflow. It's crazy. I'm excited to get this one out!

You crack me up! Great video - I've been photoshopping my portrait photography into Midjourney images and have been waiting for this functionality. Trying to match lighting and face angles is a pain, can't wait to try this out! Thank you for finding this!!!
Years of photoshop learning out the door. I can’t believe how fast this matches my face to any angle, lighting, color grade, resolution, etc. I took one selfie and have swapped it into old photos, new DSLR photos, movie stills, etc. And this is the worst this tech will ever be. Unbelievable.
Been enjoying this the past week. Definitely a huge game changer!!!
Your tutorial felt like a glove into my workflow. Thanks a lot!
Excellent to hear!!
Nice! 🤯
Thank you very much for this. I can just see a boatload of plugins coming soon. It just keeps getting better (and scarier). I'm already imagining what I could do that I shouldn't.
Oh, 100%. The thing that gives me a little hope from this getting too out of hand is the fact that at least MJ has filters. I know those have been an issue for some (I’ve run into things where I’ve gotten warnings for word use that I was not intending), so hopefully that will stop things from getting TOO out of hand.
Although it wouldn’t surprise me if something really stupid happens and hits all the news sites, forcing MJ to ban the app. Sigh. We can’t have nice things.
My man the best tutorial out there, i had so much trouble with AI recognizing my face this method nailed it. Got ya self a sub and a like
Excellent to hear!!
I can't believe it OMG! I just did what you said and it's mind blowing. I'm SHOCKED!
Isn’t it insane?! I was flabbergasted at how good it is!
Also, really love your videos very simple, the best ones I’ve seen so far. Thank you very much 😃
Got it to work the first time but now gives error: target message id specified is invalid. Any ideas? Thanks!
Ha LUV the humor of yours brotha added in with the amazing knowledge and insight!!
One more thing to add. You don't have to use any AI generated images at all. You can drag and drop one of your own photos into midjourney and then just use that as if it were an AI generated image, use the plug in and the swap the face.
I was wondering about that! That’s kind of awesome!
not into midjourney. Any server. They are totaly independent
@@essencialreal Correct. Most of the viewership I think is MJ based, so that's the angle on this video, but yes: Insightface will work on any image. Actually, I need to try and see what happens if I faceswap an old photo of myself. That might be interesting...
@@TheoreticallyMedia as I compose with my followers, it may happen that I don't find an image in the midjourney gallery that fits, mainly, according to the shape of the face. so in these cases I use MJ to generate an image that is closer to the person's characteristics, and then use IFS. But 99% of the time I find good pictures on MJ gallery itself.
What? How do you get the image in there? Do you open photos, a window and click on the image and just drop it in anywhere? Sorry but I have been trying to get an image useable in Midjourney for months. They get in there as a tiny image in an aborted “blend”!but I have never been able to figure out how to use them. I usually just x them out because they are inert. Literally the most frustrating thing ever. It seems impossible. I’ve literally tried everything and been all over the FAQ. Do you use an image url? If so, where is the URL? Other videos all skip over this. They say put an image in but neither show or explain how and I have been unable to do this for months of trying!!!!!
Thank you so much for this face swap tutorial. Very clear details and great examples.
Thanks so much! That means a lot!
Thank you so much! I am glad I took the time to follow these instructions as it works perfectly. I'd tried so many times just uploading an image file link with no success.
Fantastic to hear!
I discovered this yesterday and have been having a blast putting friends and myself face onto a.i. pics i have made!
This is awesome, I have done some yesterday, I chose Indy and Supes too. We thinking alike. lol . I got some good results so far. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing. This is truly amazing and works so well. Just have to remember to have the InsightFace bot and MidJourney bot in the same channel (or at least I have to do so). Thanks again. Really good stuff. Keep it coming.
It’s so awesome! For organization, I’m just keeping the Insight Channel as a separate thing and not adding it to my “main” channel. That said, I’m sure I’ll generate on the wrong channel at some point!
…hmmm, maybe I should just add it to all the channels!
Ive been literally trying to do this all day and here you are with this LIFESAVER of a VIDEO and APP! Love the content brother! keep it coming
So glad to hear this! And yeah-- I've got a TON of "almost there" images via Photoshop-- this thing is a LIFESAVER!
Very interesting as always! Thanks, and keep those vids coming
Will do!! Thanks so much for tuning in!!
This is amazing bro ♥
I was just wondering about this! Thanks Tim. Well presented. New sub
Excellent to hear! Just fyi, there is a follow up with some more commands and options here: Better Face Swapping In Midjourney (Insight Faceswap Advanced Techniques)
ruclips.net/video/KOgBnnrvI5E/видео.html
Fantastic, I was waiting for this !! Great video, thank you so much (really enjoy your channel). I don't know anything about plug-ins in Midjourney. Are there others that are useful ? (Could it be a topic for a coming video ?) Thanks again !
Thanks for your informative videos, all in a relaxed mood. Glad to follow you.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I don’t think I could do that “on 11 RUclips’er” thing. I’d drive myself insane!
Thanks so much for the comment and the follow!!
Damn, I waited so long for that, thanks matey!
1000%! Thank you so much!! (Sorry it took a minute to get back to you- on holiday and the internet is terrible here, but the beaches are great…sooooo…)
What a fun and handy tutorial, you got my sub!
Awesome to hear! Looking forward to seeing you!
Really cool 🎉 The limitations for expressive styles is infornate, but cool that this might get enhanced
Thanks for the video. Best MJ tut I've seen. One question. Can you load multiple pics? And, if so, once you've done this, how do you select which uploaded image you want to use?
you 100% can! I did cover that, plus a few other features in a follow up video here: ruclips.net/video/KOgBnnrvI5E/видео.html Sorry, I couldn't fit it all into one video without feeling like I was overloading people with information! ruclips.net/video/KOgBnnrvI5E/видео.html
This is fantastic. Thanks for the simple tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
For the people who don't have the 3 dots to run the app: Save the photo you generated that you'd like to put your face in. Then use the /swapid command. Enter your reference image name (mine was "me") and then upload your previously generated photo. It'll put your face on the photo you generated. Hope that helps!
That's an awesome tip!! Thank you!
Thank you because I was lost. I kept rewinding because I thought I missed a step. I looked up and he was on superman and nothing to show me what he did.
Thank you, your advice was the best, coz it was running the app=)
yeah me too, the same@@saraijuelz1564
This is crazy. Love the video!
Soooo crazy! And thank you!!!
Seems like it would be good for those users who are trying to create the same character in different poses, scenes, etc. Once they get the comic/cartoon face swapping down it’ll be a game changer for indie comic creators.
I may have something on that front (not MJ) next week! Stay tuned!
@@TheoreticallyMedia keen to hear. I'm trying to create a comic of my grandfathers life in the war. MJ was just not there until now.
Tim as Superman! What a blast to see you live out teen fantasies. It looks like a terrific product, and thanks for presenting it as is, what it's good for and what it isn't, at least not yet. I make comic book characters, so I wonder if I were to start with a comic book face (rather than a realistic one) how that would work. I hope to give it a try. Thanks again!
That's a REALLY interesting thought! Let me know how that works out-- I'm really curious myself now! Or--ha, going the reverse and seeing what happens when you take an illustrated character and faceswap onto a photographic one!
I think....it'd be a mess!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Well, FaceSwap didn't recognize my simple character face, but I tried two other comic faces and it did work. Which is good, since I thought my character's face was too simple anyway. Interestingly, one of the faces was a pen and ink b/w comic book image (Maggie from Love & Rockets, if you know that old indie series). But it's a subtle effect with comic faces. It only slightly tweaks the mouth and eyes, and not much else. I'll keep trying!
Great video! Love your style of explaining!
Thank you so much! I think I had a little too much coffee in this one, kinda spoke a little quick!
@@TheoreticallyMedia didn't really feel like it, actually its one of the things I enjoy the most, your videos are always to the point, interesting, with tons of ideas and useful tips and tricks. Hope your channel booms, you deserve it!
Fresh subscriber! 🎉 Your content is awesome.
Fresh AND Organic!! Haha, thank you very much! Happy to have you aboard and look forward to spending some time with you!
Oh wow! I might actually be able to do a Midjourney comic book! Thank you for this!
It's close! I'll have an interesting one for you later this week-- I think this one will be particularly interesting to the folks who are interested in comics. (As you'll see, as am I!)
@@TheoreticallyMedia Can’t wait!
I am watching youtube maybe 3-4 hours a day this is the best info I get thank you subscribed
Excellent to hear! Thank you so much!!
Yay! Sooo insanely cool! Thank you so so much!
This is INSANELY cool! Finally, consistent faces for characters. Now i can live my dreams of traveling to mars.
Brilliant! You’re the best! 🎉
Another great video! Thank you so much, this is very interesting!
So happy to hear!! Thank you so much!
Great video, thank you so much for making this!
100% Thank you for watching!
Just for your information, you may try /swapid command, then upload any "base photo" you like, then input your "saveid" to swap, which is the true advantage of InsightFaceSwap. Please note the "base photo" should have similar face structure to that of the face to be swapped to create good results.
Good lookin' out! I'm hoping to do a video next week on "advanced Insight" with all the other commands, plus whatever else I dig up on it over the weekend! Thanks much!
Great advice there mate! But still doesnt look 100 % the same like the "saveid" photo. But I think they will get there sooner or later
@@DieCleanWMFT totally, the thing I always try to keep in mind is: this thing came out like, a week ago! Haha, I’m sure they’ll iron it out and by next month we’ll be in a whole new place! (And likely complaining about the next new thing that came out!!)
@@TheoreticallyMedia Just make sure to make a new video when new update comes up! we ve already hit the subscribe button :)
So instead of doing it through "..." aka. settings -> apps where you can only use the current set ID you can type any ID when uploading a pic with the /swapid command? Or what's the difference? Sorry if I'm a bit "slow"..
Definitely an interesting new tool. Not 100% there yet, probably still some ways to go.
But it's a definite big step in the right direction towards giving some control over AI image generation, and most importantly maintaining consistent character faces from image to image.
Gonna keep an eye out on this. Thanks!
Super. Thanks. Great plug in.
this is freaking amazing! just wow, thanks for sharing dude!
Do i need to create a new server for a new saveid? say i wanna make a different person's avatar
you should be able to do up to 10 SaveIds-- so, basically, 10 faces. I think that's per account.
@@TheoreticallyMedia beautiful! thanks :)
Thanks I played with it, so much fun:)
Awesome, just what I was looking for.
Oh man, THANK YOU so much!! Glad you found it!
Great sharing again and again!
Thank you so much for sharing your tips and findings ! Cheers!
Thank you for watching! Really glad it connected with you!
@@TheoreticallyMedia so does your subtle sens of humor ! 😁👍
Great stuff. Thanks Tim.
Excellent to hear!! Totally welcome!
Thanks for sharing.. this is really interesting and does seem to work well
Damn - I wish I knew this weeks ago! Would have saved me a gazillion iterations and a lot of frustration!!
Thanks! I needed this this!
Sammmmmme!
impressive! In a near future any artist can be able to create their own movies.
It's getting close. I'm going to do some experimenting with that over the weekend! Stay tuned!
Wow, thanks so much - new to Midjourney and this is super helpful! Is it possible to swap heads, rather than faces - in other words, placing a head of one person onto the body of another, rather than merging two faces together?
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Great video! I laughed more than I should have for a tutorial video
Ha! Glad to hear that! My stance has always been: just because it’s a tutorial doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun!
This can work with celebrities and everything else. I have been wanting a tool like this since I started using MidJourney.
Great video, Tim - you are doing great work here my friend. How well do you think this plug-in could extend to doing a kind of full "virtual AI photo shoot"?
I think it could-- depending on the complexity of the shoot. As we know, MJ gets a little more bogged in character details with the more you prompt for location/props etc...this seems like it would be a great solution for creating a consistent character model at least. Say, a fashion shoot with one model, in different clothes and different locations.
@@TheoreticallyMedia Yes, that would be the idea. Ideally you'd be able to upload a batch of photos of yourself with different angles and expressions, and have a permanent model built that could be reused. Then you could do a virtual photo shoot from anywhere in the world, with different wardrobes, etc. Would be great for social media use.
This is SO COOL. Also your wife's response, lol 😂
Merci ! Ton tutoriel m'a sauvé ce soir !!! 👍
Excellente nouvelle pour moi !
@@TheoreticallyMedia Perfect french! Thanks again👍
Awesome. I´ve been out of the loop of AI image generation for ages (about three weeks lol) I didn´t know about this Midjourney plugins thing. What other cool plugins are out there?
Your video is amazing and useful. I am your subscriber :D
Excellent! Glad to hear!!
thanks man. I'm subscribing!
Glad to have you aboard! Poke around and please feel free to hit me up in the comments or on the discord if you ever have a question or would like to see something! Or hey; even just to chat!
Oh my good lord YES!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! Making myself crazy with --seed xxxxxx.
So glad!! The days of rerolling seeds are over!!!
HI! Great tutorial!! I love your style. Down-to-earth, easy to understand, subscribed! Quick questions please: Is my MidJoourney Imagine prompts in the new server "private" - only I can see them? Can I have multiple idname and idimages , if not how do you reset it? Thanks again Tim!!
Thank you so much! So, your generations will only be private if you have the high priced MJ account that allows stealth mode. But you do raise an interesting question: Are the swapped face images private? To be honest, I don't know! That's worth looking into!
As far as the other questions, I did a follow up to this video here: ruclips.net/video/KOgBnnrvI5E/видео.html
Those questions and more in there!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Thank you man! Clearly my new fave YTer: relevant; so informative and organic. Thank you!! :)
Thank you for this!!
1000%!!
Excellent video thank you.
Looks like Midjourney is quickly getting to where I was expecting, when we can make realistic images from our own faces and pictures rather than random AI generated people.
this was super helpful.
Excellent to hear!!
Timely update! I was in the middle of trying to get decent results from uploading pics to MD with + button, copy pasting link to the prompt with added description but its hit and miss. Besides novelty factor, this should assist in those who want to get more emotion out character designs.
That’s what I’m thinking as well! I didn’t get the chance to experiment with it, but I think if you add in multiple expressions and name them: like, Me Happy, Me Sad, Me Angry- you might get some cool results.
As long as you don’t go as extreme as mr weightlifter at the end!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Great channel. It's shit show out there on RUclips trying to weed out the click bait Ai channels from the really informative. While I have your attention... any idea how one organizes images from one Text channel to another, is their a way to move to reorganize channels? Thanks
YEEEES! THANKS. ITS WORKED! I'm pretty good at photoshop, but this is soooo much easier. (i put my face on tomb raider body-COOL!)
That’s awesome! And props to the Lara Croft usage! She’s a character that I still think hasn’t reached full mainstream potential! I’m always rooting for her!
Thank you very much for your tutorials
Glad you like them! More coming!!
Great job. Thanks
Thank you for the comment!
Thank you sir!
Great video thanks! Can you have multiple ID names and switch through them or does creating a new ID just replace the current one?
So, according to documentation, you can have up to 10 faces/character names. A few people in the comments have suggested maybe taking your own face with different expressions to use for that ending weightlifter scenario-- might be an interesting idea!
This works soo well and is sooo dangerous. :D
It can be- but, I always keep in mind: we’ve been able to do this in Photoshop for more than 20 years. Granted you needed to learn the skills to do it, so that barrier has been reduced.
But as more of these images start to flood out, I think we’ll be better at spotting a fake. At this point, I’ve been doing this long enough where I can spot a Midjourney image with one eye closed!
The tech will get better, but our brains are pretty good at noticing those uncanny details.
When I'm at the /saveid and adding the picture in, after I press the enter button it tells me to specify a value. How can I fix this?
Thank you!!
5:55...."this boy has seen some hard times" . hahha you funny. Thank you for your vid!
Haha, thank you! Poor kid has no idea what is in store for the future!
Hello! Appreciate the video. I did have a question. I’ve been working on a series of novels for the past several years and now that AI is available, I’ve decided to use MidJourney for character illustrations for my RUclips channel. My challenge like you probably already know , is being consistent with the character generation. I have read about puppet prompting within mid journey however I’m still new to this technology and haven’t mastered them. My question is this, with the information you have provided, if I was to generate a character illustration of a specific character of my novel through Mid Journey, save it, take a picture of that Upscaled close up and then use that as the photo swap for any other prompt generations in the future for consistency character of the novel, do you think that would work Tim?
I think that should work! Let me know if you run into trouble with it!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! Sorry, I'll try to get to your other comment a little later-- but on the quick: I think maybe you can stack both your original image and your Insight Face in photoshop, and then using the erase tool blend the two together to get rid of that "line" look-- At least that's what I was thinking when I saw it here and there!
Great !
thanks !
Portrait of Youth and Agawam Skyline were both made with Midjourney 5.😊
Dorian Grey’s mirror was a black mirror all along! Man, I can’t wait to watch new Black Mirror episodes!
Oh thats gonna be fun
It is SUCH a blast!
This is probably a silly question but im new to hearing about midjourney - and a big fan of your channel! - do i need to pay to use midjourney?
Sadly, the free/trial version has been suspended due to some abuse that was happening. So subscription only for now. They have been talking about adding in a free tier, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
@@TheoreticallyMedia thanks for the quick reply man! And noted! I shall be investing then! Keep up the good work - really appreciate it 👍
It’s a cool new feature maybe I can use for my projects on my channel 👍🏼 thanks
I think it’ll be a real game changer for those of you who are doing story/narrative type stuff!
Ya i also thinking the same
But I just started and I’m just a small channel but I want to create better videos better and better…
Hey that's a great tutorial right there, but I wanna ask is there any lmits of using this feature?
Thanks Tim .. great video ... some other handy commands as this will default if you only have one face as a \saveid ... is \listid (shows all ids) ...\delid (allows you to del one id at a time) ...\delall (delete all ids) ...\swapid (swapids) ... \setid (to set your default if you have multiple ids) ... I've tried just uploading the face and found it to be a bit more accurate and the more you faceswap that one pic it gets better .. ran out of 50 credits on day 1 .. came back on day 3 and used the same face pic and was blown away .. like the model is being trained on that one face. Happy Swapping everyone .. lol.
Can we put in the seed to it as well? Is there a way to generate multiple images of the same trained face in a consistent setting?
Hi, did you use the faceswap on the base photo every time or the ones that were generated?
@@DieCleanWMFT - base photo
I think? That’s a really good question. Let’s give it a shot and see what happens!!
Thanks so much! I think I’m going to try to do an “advanced commands” follow up next week. There were a lot of great questions and experimental ideas in the comments that I think are worth exploring further!
Hi, great video. A question, I don't have Inswapper option on the app dropdown?
you earned a follower
Glad to have you on board!!
that is perfect.. I wish we could do this on SD
I wonder withe the last example, if you uploaded an image of your face pulling a similar expression, it would fit better. Will be trying this out when I have some free time
That might work! I need to spend some more time playing with it, but I wonder if you uploaded multiple images, like Me_happy, Me_mad, etc if that would affect anything. Let me know if you try it out!
Yeah, keep us posted DKG. Sounds interesting.
This was such a helpful video, thank you! I'm with you the whole way... except when I upgrade my image, I don't actually get the right click option (or the 3 dots) made available for the image.
I can see them above in the InsightFaceSwamp bot messages, so I know I added it to my server, and I'm in the app... is it the starter plan I'm on?
What could I be doing wrong?
Same. I'm looking for a place to run the app, but haven't found it just yet.
Great!
excellent to hear!
Great tool, works really well! Is there a limit on the number of images you can generate? It shows the cmd count.
Looks like 50 a day. Which is actually fairly generous. I didn’t get all the way though that count for this video, and I did a lot of them!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Thanks! Agreed, 50/day is quite a lot to experiment with (for free)!
Thank you for the video! I couldn't see the inswapper when I click on apps, any idea how to fix that?
Every time I try to upload a face via /saveid, and name it, I get "image. not a valid value". I can see the image thumbnail but it won't upload. Any ideas why?
