Snapchat Set To Release Feature To Insert Faces Into Videos
Venice-based Snapchat is apparently testing a feature that will allow its users to insert their own faces (or those of their friends)--"deepfake"-style--into other people's videos, and has been testing the feature in France, according to French users. Snapchat said today that the new feature will roll out globally on December 18th, allowing iOS and Android users to insert their faces into more than 150 videos. The new feature of Snapchat is reminiscent of the ability to insert faces into videos that Los Angeles-based JibJab has been offering for year--however, with realistic facial animation and expressions.
Update 12/9/19: Following TechCrunch’s story, Snap announced today that it will launch “SnapchaCameos” on December 18th with a global roll out on iOS and Android. https://t.co/2raYCtZ77K
