Video Summary

This tutorial by Kush Sharma from Creative Pad Media explains how to place an ordinary portrait into a dramatic, AI-generated scene using Fooocus AI and other free tools.

Workflow and Key Techniques:

  • Scene Creation: Start by finding a reference image for your desired scene (e.g., a rockstar on stage). Use a tool like ImagePrompts.org to generate a detailed prompt from the reference [02:25] and use an AI generator to create the base background image [03:54].
  • Face Preparation: Crop the original portrait into a tight headshot and remove the background using Pixelcut to ensure the AI focuses solely on facial features [07:41].
  • Fooocus AI Integration: * Masking: In the “Inpaint” tab, mask the face and the neck of the person in the generated scene [06:04].
    • Face Swapping: Upload the headshot to the “Image Prompt” tab and select the FaceSwap mode [08:33].
    • Crucial Setting: Change the inpainting method to “Improve Detail” for a subtle, realistic blend instead of the aggressive “Inpaint” default [09:29].
    • Developer Mode: Enable “Mixing Image Prompt and Input” in the developer debug settings to link the mask with the face prompt [10:08].
  • Refinement: * Fix AI-generated anatomy errors, such as distorted fingers, by masking them and using the “Improve Detail” method [14:12].
    • Use a background blur tool to hide low-quality AI faces in the crowd [16:11].
    • Adjust the Image Weight slider (e.g., to 1.1) to fine-tune the accuracy of the face swap [16:53].
