## What it is
A Python script that simplifies swapping faces in videos using the deepfakes/faceswap library, with training data sourced from YouTube video URLs. It automates downloading videos, extracting frames and faces, training a model, and converting target videos.

## Use cases
- swap faces in a video between two people
- create deepfake videos from YouTube footage
- automate deepfake training data collection from YouTube
- train a faceswap model on celebrity video clips
- convert a local video with a trained face-swap model
- experiment with deepfake technology capabilities

## When to choose
- you want a simple end-to-end pipeline for face swapping using YouTube videos as training data
- you already have CUDA-capable hardware and want to experiment with deepfakes/faceswap
- you want a scriptable workflow instead of manual data preprocessing

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with active updates or official releases
- you cannot install CUDA libraries or a CUDA-enabled Dlib build
- you need a polished GUI or production-grade deepfake application
- you require a clearly licensed dependency chain, since faceswap had no license at the time
