Create Deepfake (fake videos with my face) with Snapchat Cameos

DeepFake is that software technique based on artificial intelligence that allows you to superimpose different images within original videos by changing the face of the protagonist in a film with that of another person. Machine learning allows you to adapt the new face to the movements of the video so that it looks completely real. While the real Deepfake is a job that requires some patience and video editing skills, some software has already been released to create fun and simple DeepFakes, such as those seen in the article on how to put your face in a video instead of the protagonist. Recently a new way to create deepfake videos by putting your face in small funny clips is available within the Snapchat application, one of those that is very fashionable in the USA. Snapchat is a quite particular social network, initially born as an app to send photos that are automatically deleted after having seen them and over time it has become an app to take selfie photos with augmented reality filters and to create personalized emojis like those of BitMoji.
The latest novelty of Snapchat, really interesting and fun to use, is what is called Snapchat Cameo, which allows you to create short deepfake videos using your face . In other words, you can use a selfie to replace the face of the people who appear in one of the ready-made clips by putting your own face on it. The small video can then be saved and sent in any other application, therefore also in Whatsapp, Facebook or others.
Snapchat Cameos works exactly like a deepfake in which our face is positioned on the body of the person protagonist of the video to become the protagonists of funny clips to send to friends. The video editing effect, based on artificial intelligence, is really well done so much that it almost seems to be really in the video.
To use the Snapchat Cameos function, you must first download the Snapchat app on Android or iPhone and then log in with an account. There will be no need to add friends or use other functions of the social network because all the creations made with Snapchat can then be saved to the phone and shared via message, email or other social networks.
To create a Snapchat Deepfake you have to touch the Chat button and then start any chat. Instead of writing a message, press the emoji key, the round emoticon key, then select the Cameo function or tap on the emoticon with the star. The various ready-made cameos will be previewed, inside which you can put your face. Select any one and, the first time, take a selfie photo by framing your face inside the frame on the screen and trying not to laugh. After taking the selfie, you have to choose the body type, whether female or male.
Automatically Snapchat creates a whole series of small videos where our face appears instead of that of the protagonist . If you are not satisfied, you can take a new selfie photo by touching one of the ready cameos and then pressing the More button at the bottom.
To see all the videos generated by Whatsapp, which are divided into various categories, press the button of the face with the star or the face with the heart, the happy face, the happy face and the festive one .. Each video can be saved in the phone gallery (and therefore taken out of Snapchat) by selecting and pressing the Other button where the Save in roll option appears.
Every fake Snapchat video can be sent in the Snapchat chat or also in Whatsapp and Messenger . To do this, press one of the made Cameo and then touch the Export button to be able to send the video to another application, which can be Whatsapp.
If you have a friend who uses Snapchat, if he has activated Cameo, you will also see deepfake videos with the face of both people.
Snapchat Cameos is really fun to try, even to send special greetings or Christmas greetings to entertain friends.
On the sidelines of this posts it is worth pointing out another app that creates Deep Fake, this time in a more free way and taking movie scenes. This is Zao, whose use, however, can only be done if you create an account with a Chinese phone number. For those who want to try it, you can download Zao for Android as an APK from apkroz.com.
