The readme sounds angry. When you run this without ffmpeg, it prints: >python run.py ffmpeg is not installed. Read the docs you idiot. ffmpeg is not installed.

Author here, sorry about that :( Such software attract all kind of people including the casuals who end up creating github issues for problems that can be solved with a single google search or reading the docs. I got tired of multiple issues regarding ffmpeg and ended up dropping this in there. Not very proud.

Honestly, I like the abrasiveness. It adds a certain charm to the program when it directly chastises you for not reading the provided documentation.

For such situations like this where they *should* be following the setup procedures, the errors should be explicit & straightforward: Follow the setup docs.

Let's accelerate the AI carnage please. Now with one click!

This gets really spicy when it can be adapted to run realtime so you can map a face on a Teams call, etc. and combine with voice mapping so you can seamlessly impersonate someone for those "It's me" extortion calls to grandmas. All of those hours of Tiktoks are now an endless goldmine for scammers...

Yeah but it would require a lot of compute power. Even a 1 minute clip takes significant amount of time to deepfake on consumer hardware

Always assume your next boss is already using your software

Might indeed be a good test to weed out the too fragile company cultures you would want to avoid.

Still far away from real time face swapping
