Best Practices

How can I get the best results in DeepEditor?

Ensure your footage meets the following conditions:

• Head rotation: We can see both eyes of the speaking character at all times.
• Head tilt: We can see the entire face. No extreme angles. 
• Jaw in shot: We can see the entire face. No extreme closeups.
• Facial hair: Clean face to short facial hair. No full beards.
• Occlusions: No objects come in front of the lower half of the face.
• Lighting: All facial features are light enough to be distinguishable.
• Distortion: No unusual appearances (e.g. heavy make-up or non-human).

How can I reduce render times in the Refine tool?

To miminize render times in the Refine tool, ensure interpolation ramps are set correctly so that only the required frames get rendered. This means bringing interpolation down to 0% on frames that do not need to be rendered (e.g. where the source footage can be used) and using a transition of around 4 frames when increasing or decreasing interpolation values.
